Why are adventures and ambitions bad?

The Japanese's reflection on war, the ambition of ordinary people, and the true and illusory life. Is the notion that pursuing wealth and power as a means of proving oneself is really worthless? In this world, one must always pursue something, so as long as it does not infringe on the interests of others, what is wrong with pursuing power and wealth? Is adventure really undesirable? Regardless of the thoughts expressed in the movie, the part between the male lead and the female ghost is quite fun. Every nation has its own ghost story, or because of fear and boredom in the dark, scared by its own shadow, or because of some natural phenomena beyond the control of humans, which inspire people’s imagination, or because they don’t want to forget the dead dear People, ghosts and ghosts spontaneously spontaneously live in the dark old wooden house. There are mainly two female images in the film, one is a hardworking and pragmatic mortal wife, and the other is a beautiful ghost girl who is noble and literary, but they all pursue beautiful love. Even if he was hurt, he didn't retaliate and hurt others. But women in war must be a disadvantaged group. It is a film with a male perspective. Japan, which was defeated in the 1950s and turned to economic development, has undoubtedly educational significance. Is it to create a weird atmosphere by using long shots in the Kimura house? In addition, Wakasa's makeup and costumes, singing and dancing are all expressions of Japanese traditional culture.

    Japanese version of Liaozhai. Dispersion and desire in war. The story is not very attractive to me who likes to read strange stories since I was a child, but the lens language of this film is still worth mentioning.

    Masterpiece of Kenji Mizoguchi, 1953 Venice Silver Lion Award. ①The harmony of reality and the mysterious talk, the compassion for women, the anti-war, and the discussion of the concept of family and honor for men. ②One by one, panning like scrolling, panoramic and wide-angle long lens. ③A free and open time and space view of Qi Anzhe-changing time and space within a single shot (hot springs-picnics are splicing, and Wife Resurrection is scheduling). ④The scene of boating in the fog is like a dream and fantasy. ⑤ Noh performance by the female ghost. (9.5/10)
