It's the heart that tortures people

"Black Rain" is a fatalistic film. Mr. Kanama suffered the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, and in the days after that he always felt that his time was short. Watching his friends, family, and juniors leave him one by one, his life has fallen into desolation. His free wife, Shigeru, had no children in her life. The explosion of the atomic bomb was far less severe than that of her sister-in-law, who died after giving birth to a child. She put her faith in ghosts and gods, and the vision she saw before her death stabbed her heart, but it felt like it was all destined. When Yasuko was at the age of leaving the cabinet, because she was exposed to the black rain, the rumors made every match she talked about come to an end. She used her indifference to face her destiny of dying early, but in the end love and calm did not change her destiny. Yuichi is a PTSD patient. He used a stone to knock out the memory of the war. He used his existence to make people never forget the war. Shohei Imamura's performance in the drama of Yuichi's memory of the war is unparalleled. The more people want to escape from fate, the more they are bound by fate. It is the human heart that is tormenting. That black raindrop is in the hearts of every viewer, and tonight belongs to Imamura Shohei.

    Imamura's films are very meaningful, and the expression of emotion is also very restrained. There is no deliberate rendering, nor too much sensationalism. It was flat, but thrilling... Fortunately, the picture on the poster did not appear. The most terrifying scene appeared when the hair fell. Conrad said that fear comes from people's imagination of fear...
