It's still as good as ever. Senior Toshiro Mifune plays the role of a doctor. After learning that the patient passed on syphilis to himself, he gave up his happiness and treated the unreasonable patient more calmly, which made people moved, and reflected the character and self-cultivation of this character. I like him very much, I hope everyone will enjoy it too, the movie has a unique charm. The actor has his own full emotions to shape this character, and I admire him very much. Even an outsider like me can see that the actors must have put in a lot of effort. There was such a good movie decades ago, and I still admire him.

    Akira Kurosawa No.8: A flat and straightforward drama, inferior to Akira Kurosawa's three films before and after the war. The highlights are: ① The use of sound, especially in the beginning of the treatment process in some operating rooms, the sound of the pouring rain outside the painting and the interior The sound of water droplets heightens the tense atmosphere ②The mottled light and shadow at the beginning and the fence full of thorns later ③A long shot (about 3'40'') used in the process of Toshiro Mikawa's emotional outpouring at the end

    Akira Kurosawa's films in 1949. In the years after the defeat, Akira Kurosawa's films are very educational and characteristic of the times. Facing the negative Japanese society, Akira Kurosawa inspires the Japanese people through the stories and the qualities of the characters, and uses the pure Bushido personality unique to Japan to infect all beings, giving people hope and strength. The purpose is obvious. If the background of this era is not considered, it is impossible to resonate with Akira Kurosawa.
