Spicy!

First of all, a big thumbs up for this movie. It can be said with certainty that this film is the most ironic film I have ever seen. Coincidentally, the last film that made me feel very "spicy" was also a Japanese film, "Tokyo Story". The Japanese are very good at expressing the sadness of society and family in small things and details.

The story of this film can be said to have achieved full marks, the plot is compact, and the story is very engaging. I can't find any flaws in Shimura Joe's Watanabe. There are a few scenes in this film that are particularly interesting. One is where women come to complain, and the government department pushes the level by level, which fully reflects the government's corruption and incompetence. The other is the words of colleagues in the mourning hall. Some people's human nature will not change. It is really the case.

A master is a master, and every movie that Akira Kurosawa makes can make people think after watching it. This is the meaning that a movie should have. Good movie, worth rewatching!

    To live to death can be reborn. It's a pity that this kind of courage enough to change life is not enough for outsiders. Even after watching the movie, we can only get a short-lived touch and continue to live a mediocre life. So how moving is the insight gained after the first half of the introspection, and how ironic the second half is. . . However, because Emperor Kurosawa prefers Rashomon-style insistence, the structural treatment of the second half is still a little deliberate, but it does not prevent this movie from being called great. . One detail: Shimura Joe was determined to build a park in the cafe. When he was walking down the stairs, a woman who had a birthday happened to come up and the audience sang together to wish you a happy birthday. Why isn't this congratulating the new "Mummy"?

    A man who bowed his head and bowed his waist to talk about the humble. When he was alive, his soul had been dead for thirty years. When he died alone, he got eternal life in the satisfaction of value. Hearing the road in the morning, death can be done at night. Breaking free from the sensuality of the short-lived joy, and bearing the mission of Nirvana and rebirth, everyone sang for support behind them. Akira Kurosawa breaks the narrative logic and presents the resurgence of the soul and the rigidity of the bureaucratic system in a sad but pungent manner. Since ancient times, the high-level people have been too lazy to do it, and the bottom-level people can't do it. When a person jumps out and pushes the huge bureaucratic machine that floats by himself with a praying man's arm, he deserves all Shirayuki's gentle delivery. Don't make excuses for mediocrity, the spring night is short, let the girl go forward. 4k repair.

Ikiru quotes

  • Mitsuo Watanabe, Kanji's son: Uncle, he even withdrew 50,000 yen.

    Kiichi Watanabe, Kanji's Brother: That miser? I wonder if he's got a woman? That would really be something.

    Tatsu Watanabe, Kiichi's Wife: Now dear.

    Mitsuo Watanabe, Kanji's son: I'm sure it's not that.

    Kiichi Watanabe, Kanji's Brother: There's no telling when it comes to love. The ones you least expect are the most susceptible. If you ask me, he's actually a real lecher. A lecher with a solemn veneer. But he's stayed widowed these 20 years for you. It makes sense that he'd eventually snap, right?

  • Tatsu Watanabe, Kiichi's Wife: My husband thinks all men are as debauched as he is.
