These films made by Akira Kurosawa in the post-war period all have the meaning of thinking about the way out for the future - where is Japan's human nature going after the war. As the representative of the old gangster, Matsunaga is like the stinky pond that often appears in this film, how annoying and incurable as tuberculosis. Not only that, Matsunaga didn't know whether to live or die, and even after he fell ill, he still beat and scolded the doctor for trouble, causing his condition to deteriorate again and again. At the same time, after his release from prison, Okada, a gangster worse than Matsunaga, occupied Matsunaga's woman and territory, and finally killed Matsunaga. The doctor Sanada in the film represents the image of a conscientious savior in the new era, trying to heal Matsunaga's body and even his soul with caring and shock therapy. The waitress at the tavern also gave Matsunaga a chance to rebirth at the last moment. , but in the end their efforts were unsuccessful. At the end of the film, the waitress carrying Matsunaga's ashes and the doctor meet in front of the stinky ditch. At the same time, there is a female student who has been following the doctor's orders and cured of tuberculosis. The comparison of the two images indicates that the dirty and stale will eventually change with the times. The changes and the rise of new forces have passed away, and the hopeless hooligans and poisons are left to fend for themselves. To say a little more, in an era when a sense of justice and compassion are rampant, the so-called mainstream people always look down on the so-called disadvantaged or evil groups on the other side, worry about them on their own, and try to correct their way of life. , to transform their souls, the most ridiculous thing is that they don't want them to pass over and become a part of themselves. This faction is as abominable as the opposite extreme evil forces. Kind people must not go to that step.
