I saw this Japanese movie "Narayama Festival Exam" about three years ago. At that time, I felt a little shocked. It was hard to imagine that Japan, which was poor in the past, had such a custom of abandoning the old. Later, I searched the Internet and found that not only in Japan, but all over the...

It is shocking that the country of Japan dares to look directly at its own history and face the nation's past. There are many ethnic traditions, and this tradition cannot be examined by modern civilization. It is normal for modern people to look uncomfortable. In an era of insufficient food, in a...

It's so uncomfortable to watch, all the things that make you feel incredible, in the face of poverty and spiritual impoverishment, it seems to become a matter of course. Where is the bottom line of human nature? Only when I see the old mother's silent dedication to this family, and her deep love...

I watched two versions of the movie "Narayama Festival Kao" at the same time. A remake of the 1958 Keisuke Kinoshita version and the 1983 Shohei Imamura. The 1983 Imamura version of "Narayama Festival Kao" won the international award before attracting people's attention to the 1958 Kinoshita...

Abandoning a baby in a paddy field, pushing a father on a cliff, and sending a mother in Narayama, poverty and low status lead to life like an ant; a widow is as good as a husband, a bitch is entered, buried alive to steal the family, ignorance is like a maggot. The most primitive sex worship, the...

Let me express my emotions first and then compare. The aesthetic style of this version almost made me unable to keep watching, and it was too realistic to make me visually uncomfortable. The two editions of "Narayama Festival Kao" present two very different Japanese aesthetic styles. The 58th...

There are so many animal clips and scenes in the movie, I believe that it is not only for the purpose of metaphor of the plot content, but also to explain the relationship between man and nature.

Almost isolated from the world, this small village is almost part of the pristine ecology in the folds...

1. The original sin of sex?

Sex is not sinful, lust is sinful.

There are a lot of sex scenes and hints in the film, but it doesn't make people feel the pleasure at all. It made me think why the poorer the place, the more children and the stronger the primitive worship of sex. Because of poverty, lack...

In fact, this film is really not good, but I am willing to give him four stars because it does tell some things. Judging from the whole film, it is actually a broadcast of Japanese folklore because I have dabbled in this subject before, so I am not surprised. Strange about Japanese folklore, I...

After watching the movie, there are many scenes that are impressive: Asong was coaxed to go to her parents' house by A Ling, but the villagers kidnapped seven or eight members of Asong's family and buried them alive. Asong's husband wanted to ask the villagers to let him go. Letting go of his life,...
