Kenji Mizoguchi is very kind, and the movie always gives Xihe dignity, humble dignity.
Mizoguchi Kenji reminds me of
the finale of Guan Jinpeng's movie, where women help women, albeit humble. Despite working unpopular jobs, despite being a prostitute.
"We can only help ourselves. It's easier to die than to live."
But prostitutes also have dignity.
Finally, a customer came, and he was an old man who used to laugh at her.
She left like a madman, leaving behind the sneers of men.
The director gave a good ending. In reality, women are often miserable to the point of death.
Is it really kind? Maybe, sometimes, life is better than death.
(Kinyo Tanaka played very well.)
Or, only Buddha would take her in selflessly.
The picture at the end of this film reminds me of the Japanese animation movie "Book of the Dead" that I have seen.
