In the film "Drunken Angel", what impressed me most was the explosive performance of Toshiro Mifune, the actor of Matsunaga. I saw the unkempt, foolish and crazy robber who raped the samurai wife in Rashomon, and then looked at his suit and leather shoes in "The Drunken Angel" or when he was in and out of the dance hall, and the black leather clothes to cover up his illness. , is simply a mess of handsome. Okada, the eldest brother who just got out of prison, took Matsunaga's position and woman in the gang. All the glory that he once had, and the worship of people, were given by the godfather. After suffering from tuberculosis, he also lost the ability to earn money for the godfather. Matsunaga is like a puppet soaked in a stinky pond, losing its use value, being abandoned, and gradually becoming corrupt and smelly.
Sanada, played by Joe Shimura, is an irritable person, but he does his best to treat patients, especially good at treating tuberculosis. He is addicted to alcohol but not alcoholism. The "Drunken Angel" probably means that Sanada is addicted to alcohol but takes care of the patient like an angel. doctor. He treated the gang leader Matsunaga incessantly and insisted on repairing Matsunaga's pierced lungs; he hated those gangsters who were mentally rotten, because they were such a big dye vat that this area would become more and more More and more people are mentally broken down, and increasingly become part of that filthy stinky ditch; he hates Okada, defiled the woman and abandoned her like a dog. Sanada's hatred of iron is not steel, complemented by his irascible temper, he is the angel of the region. As for Shimura Joe's performance in this play, I prefer his desperation in "Desire to Live" to desire to seize the vitality of the last line of life, the hysterical inner struggle, which can especially capture people's hearts.
I don't have any more feelings about this film. Compared with Akira Kurosawa's other films, "Rashomon", "Desire for Life", "Trammania", etc., I think it is still a little inferior, maybe combined with more Japan The social situation at that time allowed me to better understand the deep meaning of the film, but the intuitive feeling it gave me was still not satisfactory.
