Japanese film industry’s evergreen tree fell down the

inland flying fish

. In the past few days in October, in the news of the deceased actors, I am not concerned about the Korean Cui Zhenzhen and Jang Chae-won, but Ogata who died suddenly with liver cancer. Mr. Quan, seventy-one years old, is still short for him and for Japanese movies. Although there are more than two hundred vivid images of various characters in the movies behind him, everyone still expects him to have more energy to play. . In these movies, whether the husband is the traitor, the good and evil, or the ordinary people, whether as a supporting role in licorice, or the first actor, the performance has always been true, generous, natural and simple, the characters are unified in shape and spirit, and the sense of precision is extremely strong. The textbook is worthy of the title of "Star of the Showa Era".

Mr. is an actor who grew up with the new wave of Japanese movies. He experienced the second golden age of Japanese movies fifty years ago. He and the surviving old actors such as Nakadai Tatsuya, Takakura Ken, Iwashita Shima, Hara Setsuko, etc. are the previous actors. . Therefore, among the directors who are famous for his husband, there are indispensable directors such as Fukasaku Kinji, Imamura Shohei, Nomura Yoshitaro, and Yamada Yoji. Although it has been on stage since the 1960s, it was recognized in the mid to late 1970s. In 1978, director Nomura Yoshitaro adapted "Ghost Animals" from Matsumoto's mystery novel by Seiharu Matsumoto. Mr. Wei won the title of the first Japanese Oscar actor, in which he played a badass.

Earlier in 1974, my husband starred in Nomura Yoshitaro's "Sand Nobility". In this film also adapted from the work of the social mystery novelist Matsumoto Kiyaki, he played a supporting role as a mountain policeman who raised orphans of leprosy patients. As a result, he was killed by an adopted son who grew up to be a nobleman or a musician, but was ashamed of his own life experience. He didn't have many scenes, but his loyal image was unforgettable. "Sand Tool" was also one of the first excellent Japanese films to be introduced to China in the early 1980s. Its exciting music, beautiful location, and the inner struggles of the characters have made it unforgettable for many people to live in China.

In the movies starring Mr., my favorite is the "Vengeance in Me" and "Narayama Festival Kao" which he collaborated with director Masahira Imamura. Especially in "Vengeance is Me" in 1979, he played a criminal with cruel heart, cold appearance, schizophrenia and social dementia, moody and serious "violence addiction", and willing to kill. Imamura’s film took to the international stage and discovered two leading male stars, one is Ogata Ken, and the other is Yakusho Koji who starred in "Eel" and "The Warm Current Under Akabashi" in the late 1990s. I prefer the former.

My husband’s most topical movie is "Mishima Yukio" starring in 1985. As a great wealth of Japanese literature, Mishima is a radical man who is fanatical about politics and committed suicide. His life is full of legends. Due to the difficulties and difficulties of various parties. Resistance, few directors dare to eat the first crab. This film is directed by Martin Scorsese's ace screenwriter and director Paul Schrader. Because Americans have a taste of Japanese life and Mishima's life, they are not satisfied with Japanese culture, and Ogata Ken's image is too tall and big. , Zhongzheng's national character face is seriously inconsistent with Mishima himself. After the film was released, it was full of controversy and mixed reputation.

Many big actors died away from the big screen in their later years and stayed away from the big screen, but the husband is different. After the age of sixty, they continue to take on films and perform various roles. In addition to cooperating with veteran directors such as Yamada Yoji, who has not yet passed away, they often also work with Takashi Miike and Okuda. The younger generations such as Eiji, Heitu Sanmen, and Sangmi Shinji collaborated. In 2006, "Long Walk", which made Okuda won the award at the Toronto Film Festival, showed the severely aging Japanese society, the desolate life of the elderly, and the complex mentality of young people under the pressure of survival. Ogataken vividly starred in a kind elder who lives alone but cares for the next generation.

As a prolific evergreen, a professional and dedicated actor, Mr. Ogataken is a perfect example of Japanese cinema. In 2008, two films he starred in were also released. But I didn't expect that shortly after the death of Director Masahei Imamura, he also followed. If he does not pass away, he will certainly bring more surprises to the audience if he refuses to accept the old. I wish Mr. Happy rest in heaven!

    Works by the late Japanese master Masahira Imamura. The terrible thing about the devil lies not in the heinous crimes committed against society, but in the individual's self-abandonment. The greatest sorrow in the world does not lie in how deep and painful the injury is, but in the repeated cycles of similar tragedies!
