A person born to nature

The old movies from 40 years ago, with Russian and English subtitles, and muddy color images, made my blood boil for watching. . . . . .
1. Because of the love of nature, after reading a few and a half translated original works, I had to download the movie. Although there were too many shots, it was very enjoyable to watch. Del Su Uzala is the son of nature, born in Sri Lanka and died in Sri Lanka, without any contamination. He compares the world and everything to human beings and follows the laws of nature. In the mountains and forests of Ussuri, he thinks of his own back garden and poor mountains and rivers. It is so harmonious in his eyes. However, after arriving in the city, he could not find his own life.
2. Chinese people are mentioned many times in the article, except for the poor, they are the red beards. It is clearly a history of aggression by the Soviet Union, acquiring geographical location, but it is written like a geographer’s investigation.
3. It is not difficult to see in the original and translated books that the original author is a naturalist. The book uses a lot of vocabulary to accurately describe the wildlife in the Ussuri area (the translator is also a professional)
4. Black Zeming is Kurosawa.
5. I'm going to finish reading this book

    9/10 The rhythm is still the same, visually including the use of long takes and the control of color - thanks to film? ——It feels very good. The first third of the plot left a good suspense, and later when I solved the suspense, I fell into the rut.

    [68min edit version] In Kurosawa Akira's works, it is at a low-middle level. The main plot is still around the old hunter Jersu Uzala and the expedition in the Ussuri Mountains. The old hunter is like The son of the forest, he respects nature and loves life. At the same time, he has a deep friendship with the captain Arseniev. He calls the tiger an Amba. According to the movie, this is a symbol of the aging people’s fear of the forest. In the end, there is nothing. Doubtfully did not adapt to city life, and eventually died in the forest, "the dust returns to the dust, the soil returns to the soil", which is probably the case. In addition, there is a description of the Chinese "Red Beard" in the film, which refers to the Chinese who robbed and raped at the border, which has a certain insulting nature.
