I originally wanted to write a short review, but I can feel that the word limit for getting a short review is something I can't describe no matter how simplified the language is.
The lady asked the ronin what's your name? Ronin obviously didn't want to mention his real name, but simply looked at the camellia and said that his name was Tsubaki Sanjiro, but he was not. In order to ease the atmosphere, saying that he was almost forty, compared with the rebuke of nine people who said seventy was full of fun, and it also enhanced the credibility of the characters and the integrity of the script as a whole, and it heralded the final The ending of leaving.
Akira Kurosawa used two shots, the first shot is a panorama of the camellia, which is very brilliant, and the second shot is a close-up shot of the camellia, which is very brilliant and directly cut. (There are a lot of hard-cut scenes in the movie, and before the long shot at the end, the confrontation between Muroto and Tsubaki Sanjiro is also explained.) Camellia symbolizes the life of this somewhat sloppy ronin, living a gorgeous life and attaching importance to friendship, but no one can get along with him too much For a long time, the group of nine was like this, and even the confidant's room Tohanbei was like this. On the other hand, implying that the next door is the place of the target.
Akira Kurosawa's sets are always very simple, without too many clutter. Even if they are outdoors, they are neatly divided into three layers to facilitate scheduling. In this film, Akira Kurosawa has always shown simplicity. The wind, the simple decoration indoors is convenient for people to gather, and the outdoor streams are displayed more often with characters added to attract the audience's main perspective, and the least displayed is a simple depth-of-field shot, and the stream comes from the outside.
Why is Akira Kurosawa's composition so majestic and full of power, it stems from his efforts to create a simple place by omitting all unnecessary clutter, with rich geometric aesthetics, created by carefully portrayed light, black and white films Unique contrasting tones can create more atmosphere. Superb character movement scheduling, the most memorable is the shot of the ten-person team running in "Tsubaki Thirteenth", the foreground is weeds, through the gap, the running shot is maintained for two seconds, so that it will not lose focus, and then through multiple presentations, Sometimes there are opposites running, creating a sense of collision, but it doesn't break the alignment, so it doesn't confuse the audience. Hollywood's tricks were perfect in the hands of Akira Kurosawa, and they deeply influenced them.
