Toshiro Mifune, who debuted for the first time, looks much more handsome on the outside. In the fight between Matsunaga and Sanada, the character's control began to collapse. Although Sanada was always thrown out of the door with anything, he always prevailed fiercely. It was this collapse process that led to the explosion of his acting skills, his self-assertive face, and the aggravated weakness, and the transition was real and natural. The use of dreams can also be called advanced consciousness, except for color, it is not inferior to Kurosawa's own "Ran" and even other later Western masters.
If Japan was defeated, it was Matsunaga Yudong's lungs, a sick body with tuberculosis, or a bubbling stinky pond. The doctor who is dedicated to treating diseases and is sloppy, his role as a self-proclaimed angel is self-evident. Sanada couldn't save Matsunaga, just as Matsunaga couldn't really draw a line with the stinky pond. On the surface, the elder brother who was released from prison dragged him into the stinky pond again and put him to death - like the surrounding residents dumping garbage, he buried him in the stinky pond that belonged to him and rotted on his own.
The one who really maintains his self in the face of the stinky pond is the doctor, especially the young student girl starring Kumiko reappears at the end. After the recovery, the silver bell-like smile and the little candy are for hope. This is repeated in the future. For example, Oda, a staff member of "The Desire of Life", can't hide his innocence. There, what needs to be solved is still a stinky pond.
Undoubtedly, Dr. Sanada is idealized as a reference to the opposite. Just before seeing Matsunaga fall, the ideal audience always wants to see him in a tussle and complete a desperate assassination attempt. It's a pity that he was too ill, to indulge one after another, and he couldn't cure him with strong medicine. Instead, it is better to fight to the death and die under the knife. Akira Kurosawa can handle an underworld leader who has the emotions and six desires of a normal person, and speaks angrily. He looks like a big brother in the underworld who wanders in the dilapidated market, and he is still trying his best to retain a trace of glitz.
I don't know if this is because of my friend and screenwriter Keunosuke Uekusa. But Akira Kurosawa admitted that he did not give in to the other party. Maybe if there is a compromise, Matsunaga won't necessarily die, and he can really go away with the waitress at the restaurant. I am also curious why Sanada's role was weakened later, and Matsunaga caused the absolute tilt of the balance. What does the 150-minute director's cut look like? Where should the extra 50 minutes be placed? Will it be a sideline explanation of supporting roles like Okada or a further preference for Matsunaga's role.
As an early work, "Dinking Angel" is rarely mentioned directly to the masterpiece specification, but it does not reduce anyone's love. To connect and defeat Japan, it has demands, ignoring the background of the film, all interpretations must be discounted. "Drinking Angels" cannot be graded by sketches. When it comes to entertainment sketches, there may be an example of "Rogue Doctor" by Li Zhiyi. It is a Hong Kong localization of Japanese comics. In terms of conception, one can see who has grown by three points.
The mirror-like contrast to "Angel of Drank" is Imamura Shohei's "Doctor of the Liver", where the defeated Japan was like a mushroom cloud exploded by an atomic bomb, with a severely swollen liver. At the end of it, there is also a young woman who devotes herself to hunting whales in the sea. It is also hope. After sweeping away the previous impression, Kumiko Aso is photographed in her youth.
The young Imamura Shohei decided to enter the industry after watching "Dinking Angel" twice. What the film is talking about is not actually a doctor like his father, dealing with black market figures and running around the bottom for treatment. In terms of impression, for him, it is Toshiro Mifune who has changed significantly. When did that rude guy become so personable. It was just the real touch that led Imamura to decide to make a film dedicated to his father, or because he saw the original work "Doctor Liver". From what I can see now, "Angel of Mine" echoes it from a distance, and it has been 50 years before and after.
