I don't know how many people remember the last movie directed by Akira Kurosawa, the world's grand film master, "Sunset Love"? For many shovelers, it is even more of a surprise! Because there are cats in it, and there are still many shots!
The whole film is full of fun, warm and full of contrasts.
For example, he is a big director who has made epic movies such as "Seven Samurai" and "Chaos", and he can also shoot a soothing rhythm of daily life, and actually let the cat line account for at least one-third of the time!
For example, the professor who makes the students love him with great respect, but many details are unbearable: he wants to refuse to visit and concentrate on writing after retirement, but he picks up a cat on the road to go home; he competes with his master and mother in front of the cat, and rushes to hug the cat.
Afraid of thunder, when the thunder was struck, the quilt was still covered, and he asked his master and mother to burn incense and pray.
The cat Roya disappears, and the professor actually washes his face with tears and loses his soul for a long time, and has been mobilizing students to find Roya's whereabouts (until a new cat appears at the end of the film).
For example, he is obviously a retired professor with high moral standing, only a toilet-sized place to stay, but he is still safe, or rely on the help of students to have a decent looking yard.
Another example is that a fire has left him destitute, bringing out only a book and a bird, and he has no grief and sorrow, while the disappearance of an adopted cat makes him cry bitterly.
For example, every year on his birthday, students gather together to organize a grand Mahata party (birthday party) for him, and the students are full of stars and moons, but he talks and behaves like an innocent child, jumping out of the spirit.
Under Akira Kurosawa's lens, the serious and heavy concept of life and death turns into humor and humor, and the deep teacher-student relationship becomes warm and lovely.
At the time of the filming (1993), Mr. Akira Kurosawa was 83 years old and was a director, screenwriter and editor.
Truly a warm and rounded stop! Whether you're a cat slave or not, it's worth a look.
