The world is a place of peace

Black-and-white pictures, paradoxical soundtrack, brutal and crazy soldiers, and charming Miss Wakasa... "The Story of the Rain Moon" directed by Kenji Mizoguchi really made me feel psychologically uncomfortable. I frowned after watching the movie. The story is actually not complicated. Two men who yearn for money, fame and fortune and three women who need love and support lost themselves in the melee of Shibata and the Oda family. When the fog cleared, they discovered all the past times. They are all rare and precious, but some people will never come back. The most impressive scene is Abin rocking the scull and singing on the boat. They sailed out of the fog but were hidden in the fog again. "The world is originally a place of peace. Weep until dawn, and go with the flow." Abin is sad. The ethereal singing voice gently sent this heavy sigh, and the melancholy seemed to have weight, like a lonely boat in the river, floating ups and downs in the water. Miss Wakasa said: "The fruit of experience is beautiful." Miss Wakasa's makeup is paradoxical, like a mask that is not very disguised. Without the love of a man and a woman, she seems to be a piece of paper with only one layer of glue. If you stick it on, it will last a lifetime, but as long as this layer of paper is torn off, it will never be intact again, not to mention that Miss Wakasa is just burned ashes. , as long as it is no longer loved, it will drift away in an instant. Miss Wakasa and Genjuro were playing in the hot spring. The transition scene was fast and fast. With the blessing of the black and white screen, it looked like a malfunctioning TV. . At the end of the film, the scene where Genjurou went home and looked for Miyagi is my favorite. Genjurou walked around the house and re-entered the house. Miyagi was already sitting in the house and cooking. The scheduling of this shot made me I felt soothing and warm. I am afraid that Genjurou also wants to do it again. Once again, he will definitely make up his mind to live a normal life, but just like people can't be resurrected from the dead, how can men who yearn for money, fame and fortune stop? The world is a place of peace.

    9 points, very well done, I like it very much. In many places, a rocker was used to shoot the overall scene, and the scheduling was very careful. The way of telling the story is also reassuring, using the camera to narrate, but the lines are not redundant, the characters are quite personal, the behavior is fully motivated, and they are gradually attracted and will be firmly grasped. It's human, and the ending is a bit long-winded, but it is said that the studio forced a big reunion. I was very moved to see him caressing his china. There is also a sense of fetishism as a whole.

    8/10. The sentimental mood created by the positional relationship between the characters and the camera: the noble lady who takes the initiative in both behavior and status shoots down from behind, interspersed with the man trying to escape from the back to show the pressure of coercion; the man goes home from the side door to the front door, and is in an empty house He was surprised that his wife was cooking on the fire, he was holding the child, and the ghost's wife was mending her clothes silently under the lamp, and the scene of boating on the big fog lake in front of them all run through the ethereal flute sound, which is mysterious and endowed with feminine tenderness.
