Studying medicine can't save people who have been poisoned by their minds

I admit that after watching the film, I thought that Mr. Lu Xun's study of medicine could not save China. We can use this sentence as a viewing guide for the entire film and then extend it. Studying medicine cannot save those who are poisoned and twisted by feudal ideology.

The director in the story saw this and recommended our drunken angel Sanada to treat our lovely Kuroda Matsunaga.

Tuberculosis is not invincible, which can be seen from the female students who also went to the doctor and recovered.

Poisoned by feudal ideology. It leads to the belief that people must depend on the mercy of the so-called ruler to survive, and the ideological stamp of (the underworld in the film) can also be corrected. It can be seen from our lovely nurse lady.

And our Matsunaga is particularly awkward. On the one hand, yearning for a new life, on the other hand, he is afraid of the past self. In the end, he was entangled and twisted by this kind of thought until his death. (It can be seen from chopping the coffin, and then being entangled by the past self.) Finally, on the way to open the door to the bright future, he died innocently in the sunshine.

In fact, it seems to be a tragic ending. In fact, it is not as rational as the doctor and the female student. Those who have broken the stencil of old ideas have integrated into the crowd. Although some escape (only go back to the country). But there will still be desserts in the future.

    The lost "Angel" doctor takes care of the gangsters who are drunk in the world, and the vicious circle has to be broken by the younger generation in the end. The political message is clear: criticize the filthy and foul-smelling social environment (mud pond), the Japanese blindly sacrificed too much (war), "reason is the medicine of life". On the screen, just two or three characters can create a sense of distance worth pondering; several large camera movements are also used. The temperament of the film is strong and rich. There are also entertaining passages such as guitar playing and cabaret singing and dancing. The soundtrack is also used a lot. The nightmare by the sea has a surreal meaning ("Wild Strawberry"?). The doctor's character has always been cute and humming, and the final fight scene is rather clumsy.

    One of the three major types Kurosawa is good at, the projection of the status quo of post-war Japan, the rotten waste water pit, the sick man and the gangster leader who is strong outside the middle, and the young man full of hope, these appearances are not blind optimism to be pointed, but the elevation of the individual , the environment and the periphery are only a kind of auxiliary, the so-called things are man-made. The core of this film is very similar to the later "Wild Dog"
