Akira Kurosawa's work is the template for filming

Akira Kurosawa's script is extremely solid, has all the necessary conditions and will stretch the content, which is a necessary condition for his success. His work is the template for filming.

In a debate between Shinobu Hashimoto and Mifune about bad guys, Mifune believes that war turns people into beasts, which points to the tragedy of the whole film and enhances the connotation of the film.

It is set that Mifune was the same as the suspect after his luggage was stolen after he was discharged from the army, showing two turning points in his life, which is dramatic, and also used Mifune to add sympathy to the character, so that the character's mad dog behavior has a "Joker"-like growth motivation, making the suspect three-dimensional and plump . This is good drama.

Since the gun has been doing evil all the time, it will be the last time to do evil, and the principle has been completed three times. Once again, I am deeply moved by Akira Kurosawa's script.

"Society is bad, but blaming society for evil is even worse!"

"But the bad guys are well-fed and the victors!"

Improve the eyes of a line in the whole film.

The whole film is always immersed in a hot and irritable atmosphere, which is very useful for atmosphere creation.

In the foreground, a harmonica player is set up, and it becomes more agile.

Mifune sat and waited pitifully outside the door, and the audience could easily empathize.

Misfortune can make or destroy people. Would you like to be destroyed?

It is better to guard against the future than to care about the past.

A sensitive woman like her is the most stubborn, asking crooked like a stone.

Carrion will produce maggots, there are no bad people in the world, only bad environment.

"The mad dog only rushes forward but not backward." Alluding to Japanese imperialism.

A good third act not only has inevitable destruction, but also has coincidences mixed in to increase the difficulty and enhance the drama.

It's really strange, it's perfectly in line with the beginning and end of the play, but it's just that you can't feel it and watch it with relish!

The last shot: The two were born from the same root.

I thought I was floating when I watched the movie, but the movie wasn't good enough!

notes:

The story of "Wild Dog" embraces the difficult people's livelihood and the confused people's backsliding in Japan's post-war society. Akira Kurosawa used the gun-hunting incident to complete a realistic anatomy of Japanese society. Its social themes are as rich and complex as his movie stories, and there are many life implications.

Mifune and the suspect, and the twins, one becomes a mad dog and the other a good dog.

    Society is bad, but blaming society and crime is worse

    War madly divides good and evil, and art in troubled times is always the pinnacle of the times. In contrast, all the imitations of younger generations are embarrassing in different contexts, including Lu Chuan's "Looking for a Gun", which was raped and given birth by Jiang Wen.
