1954 Miku Skylark "The Dancing Girl of Izu"
"The Dancing Girl of Izu" is written by Nobel Prize winner Yasunari Kawabata (Editor's Note: The following Yoshinaga Sayuri with Yasunari Kawabata is starring in the 1963 version of "The Dancer of Izu"), the storyline is actually very simple, there is no sensationality of crying, but there is a longer emotion in the chest, folded and unfolded, and it is not scattered. It's not so much a sad love story as it is a tragedy. Mr. Lu Xun said: "The tragedy is to destroy beautiful things for people to see. ”
Yasunari Kawabata Yo yoshinaga koyuri
Young student Kawashima takes advantage of his vacation to travel, and while traveling to IzuYushima, he meets several kabuki performers who are touring, and one of them, a young dancer with his old hair in a bun and a beautiful appearance, attracts the attention of student Kawashima. Ah Fu, a dancer who lives at the bottom of society, is discriminated against everywhere and is blinded by people. Sometimes the performance may also be slighted and insulted by the guests. But the darkest environment of society did not detract from her most beautiful character, she was beautiful, kind, pure and immaculate, and even unworldly.
1963 Koyuri Yoshinaga "The Dancing Girl of Izu"
It is a natural, unpolished beauty of jade that is not stained with dust. But even so, society cannot tolerate this glimmer of beauty. She likes the young student Kawashima, but was poured a basin of cold water, people think that the status of the dancer is low, the status is very different, it is impossible to be with a student Kawashima, even if they are together, there is no good result, long pain is not as good as short pain, so give up. So Kawashima left by boat, and she sent them off on the shore, and this parting became forever. She is still a dancer, repeating the miserable fate of a dancer, hoping for a vigorous love and not being able to survive.
1967 Naito Yoko, Izu-like Maijo
The film ends abruptly with the dancing Ah Fu being held by a drunken man. At this point, it is not difficult for us to imagine how much blood and tears are met by this beautiful little dancer in the face of a difficult and tortuous life. It is a tragedy that beautiful things are destroyed, but if this beauty is given to a weak and innocent soul, she is faced with the powerful forces of society and destiny, powerless to resist, unable to resist, like a butterfly bound by a cobweb, can only wait for herself to be swallowed and eaten by a little, this tragic meaning is even heavier. There is nothingness and despair in which goodness and beauty are cruelly buried.
The social background and class identity of the dancer Ah Fu were repeatedly emphasized, and in the end, even such a small request for a night of shopping together could not be realized, all because of her identity. The sense of isolation brought about by the orphan status of the young student Kawashima in Yasunari Kawabata's original work is then reintroduced on the dancer in a different form - you are just a drama, and you can't stand shoulder to shoulder with the student Kawashima. The dancer Ah Fu bears all the beauty and all the cuteness, but also bears all the grievances and all the loneliness. A 14-year-old child, like Yamato Fumiko, learns to be steady and learns to observe the color; a girl cannot enjoy her vacation and has no right to enjoy her love.
