After World War II, Japan was actually in a state of being "enslaved" (to put it better, called "enlightenment") by the United States. The Americans "helped" Japan formulate the "Peace Constitution", stationed troops in Japan, promoted American culture, and cultivated a group of people like "Sato": they were young, rebellious, ignorant of etiquette, and lacked the accumulation of traditional culture. Traditional Japanese regard all these as "by-products" brought by the United States. Just like Matsumoto, they don't like Americans and American culture. They respect "groups" and abide by the system.
There is no lack of descriptions of the normal life and work of Japanese people in the film. What impressed me most was that in the morning at the steel plant, the bustling office workers, riding bicycles, riding bicycles, walking, everyone looked in a hurry, linked to the film was shot in the 1980s, the Japanese economy is still in a period of growth, so this film The film is also like a "promotional film."
In the last part of the film, Matsumoto and Nick fought side by side, in fact, breaking his tradition and breaking away from the "group"; then Nick bowed to Matsumoto before leaving, personally feel that the Japanese conquered Nick. The integrity, earnestness and rigor reflected by Matsumoto are precisely the impression left to the world by the Japanese and Japanese culture at that time.
Although the film's routines have appeared to be very common, but there are also bright spots. Especially Takakura Ken, the image of this image, almost hold up the entire film, awe-inspiring. Jimo's soundtrack is far less memorable than the later ones, but it is not acceptable.
