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.

    Starting with the wedding, the characters and relationship backgrounds are introduced one by one, which is comparable to the later "Godfather". The suspense is ups and downs, quite the taste of film noir, the light and shadow in the dark night are intertwined, and the dilapidated and damp underground air-raid shelter. Until the movie title hit the screen again to announce the end, I still had the fantasy of flipping, how could it be a complete tragedy, shattering everything without mercy.

    The wedding scene is very exciting, like a theater, with characters from all sides appearing one after another. Mifune also acts like a general, and the film drags on a bit.

The Bad Sleep Well quotes

  • Tatsuo Iwabuchi: Nishi, I'm counting on you to look after my sister. She's had a tough life. I may be a mess, but I'd do anything to protect her. Listen, Nishi, if you make my sister unhappy, I swear I'll kill you!

  • Koichi Nishi: You've become a real lapdog, haven't you? You'd kill yourself just because Moriyama and Shirai told you to. Those masters you so loyally serve are celebrating even now. To Iwabuchi, Moriyama and Shirai, you're just a nuisance, a walking liability they want to be rid of. But listen to me: Cattle and swine die kinder deaths!
