Noh

The Doll is probably the least violent film by the violent aesthetician Take-sang Kitano. The three stories symbolize the infatuation, loyalty and devotion of love respectively. These themes are not uncommon in Japanese films that are introverted. The biggest highlight of "Dolls" is undoubtedly the Noh drama at the beginning. This art, which has become a "national cultural property" in Japan, was born out of Kabuki. There are many doll operations and few singing accompaniments. The performers are extremely demanding. The title uses a few minutes of Noh to herald the tragic fate of the protagonist, just like the verdict of the twelve hairpins written by the stone. Every time I watch it, I am saddened.
