It's a good film, only very hard to watch. It's hard to watch not only because the audience would have a difficult time with empathizing any of the characters, but they'd probably also hate the sound design-- the long trivial conversations, with old alcoholics talking non-sense and women screaming....

Behind the bottom are often scarcity, crowding, and noise. People at the bottom are not always sympathetic to each other. They are more often sarcastic and complacent about their superiority to each other. They also hate this environment, but they cannot escape. Will be sucked deeper and deeper...

It is said that Akira Kurosawa's works are more humanistic and larger in the eyes of Westerners. After so many movies, "Lower Class" really made me feel Akira Kurosawa's insight into society. This is perhaps one of Kurosawa's most overlooked masterpieces.

There is no need to set off the background...

All the films are like stage plays, and the small stage condenses the big life. Especially the old man sent by Qiu Dai, with a peaceful smile, a pleasant tone, and his accommodating to everyone, I feel that there are too many stories. When I saw the words printed on the back, I suddenly felt that...

Even if we should have such a spirit—to write a blind man well, we should simply cover our eyes—we cannot fully appreciate the mentality with which a real blind man faces life. But this is more or less a shortcut. Many times, when we experience a hopeless pain, the soul will come out to comfort:...

Introduction

I met a courier downstairs yesterday who was in deep anxiety. A sender was arguing with him on the other end of the phone. The courier complained to me with tears in his eyes.

Another sad and pitiful work of Lao Hei. The bottom layer describes the living conditions of a group of people living in a rubbish straw shed. The performance space of the entire film is limited to a dilapidated room, which is haphazardly pieced together with rags. , a house without a piece of...

Text / You Chuang Leng Yu 　　"Lower Floor" and "Little Ruins Without Seasons" are two films in Akira Kurosawa's film chronology that are often overlooked or undervalued. Different from his aggressive samurai films, and different from his films of hope and passion. The melancholy and tragic emotions...

The time background of this film is relatively vague. Anyway, it is a period drama, or it can be used in any era of modern Japanese history spanning hundreds of years. It can be seen that oppression and exploitation are common. The director reflected in the opening subtitles that it was a tribute...

A film based on Gorky's masterpiece, this one echoes the later "Trammania", and Akira Kurosawa seems to have made many similar corresponding films inadvertently. The sadness, despair and pain this film brings to people is a typical example of Akira Kurosawa's films. The film is almost completed in...
