Look out from the window on the seventh floor

If you don't watch the movie, you probably won't understand this poster. On the seventh floor (it is indeed the seventh floor in the movie, this poster can’t be counted, it’s already over a dozen floors: P), a room was crossed because something happened in it.

Kurosawa Akira I still watched too little. He has made this type of film. I didn't have any idea before. Back then, I was affirmed by West Berlin and nominated by the Golden Bear. Black-and-white films, talk about black gold corruption, Japanese tofu dregs projects, etc., have no officials and no corruption, the difference lies in whether they are double-regulated or not. Photography and art still have to use the word "precision" to describe the composition of the opening wedding speech. The front and back guests are in the long depth of field. The profile of the speaker is the main one. It is still the posture of a great director, ordinary people. A layout that would never be thought of. Kurosawa’s movies have always had a tough opening, and both "Ran" and "Shadow Warrior" are good examples of learning. The theme is still unfolding from the plot, slowly extending to the perspective of human care, which belongs to Kurosawa Akira's consistent film thinking.

In terms of performance, it was the Queen's Toshiro Mifune. Because he was too male, he deliberately used glasses to suppress his arrogance. Toshiro Mifune is also really good, playing an avenger who insists on going his own way without losing compassion, and makes the audience fully accept it. There is also Kasa Tomomi, who was used by Ozu Yasujiro, who also appeared.

Come to think of it, this is 1960.

Three years later, Ozu died.

    The first modern urban film I watched by Akira Kurosawa, compared with his samurai films, also had many unique characteristics of Kurosawa's films: the solemn tone of the film, the compact plot development, the actors' strong performances, the characters The contradictions and conflicts under the contrast of light and dark, as well as the exquisite spatial layout, all these advantages greatly ensure the high level of the film. In the second half of the film, the plot climaxes one after another, and people can't help but be amazed. The situation has repeatedly changed hands between the pros and cons, the game is constantly played, and the classic dramatic conflict has been best used in the context of social reality. The love between Nishi and Kako is also saddening. At the end of the film, the ending of the victory of the wicked echoes the title of the film, and also expresses the director's profound reflection on the collusion and corruption of civil servants in reality. Compared with the happy ending, it stimulates the audience's thinking more.

    Watching Akira Kurosawa's films always has a feeling of "I will listen to you for the moment because you are so awesome in scheduling the composition and storytelling."
