Speaking of Ken Takakura, a name that no one knew in the 1980s, he was an unforgettable screen tough guy for generations of Chinese audiences, and we think of the movies "The Hunt" and "Happy Yellow Handkerchief". 80年代初，《追捕》、《幸福的黄手帕》、《远山的呼唤》在内地上映后引起轰动，他在银幕上建立起了世人熟悉的寡言少语、隐忍、硬朗却温和深情的男人形象，受到了观众的认可，成了万千少女的梦中情人。
Fashionable young men in China, in order to imitate Sheriff Yamura and Duqiu in "The Hunt", wear large sunglasses, wear trench coats, and carefully trimmed sideburns. For that generation of Chinese, Ken Takakura was not an actor or a specific role, but an image that included courage, loyalty, a gritty face, a taciturn personality, and a figure on horseback riding in the wasteland.
Ken Takakura, known for his taciturn "manly" image, is a "miracle" in the Japanese film industry, from nearly 50 years of film, more than 204 films, dozens of awards, so far unparalleled in the Japanese film industry.
然而，就在他人气最旺的时候，却以45岁的年纪从黑帮电影转型，恰好那时，山田洋次要拍《幸福的黄手帕》，邀请他来主演一个在监狱里蹲了几年、踏上与妻子重逢之路的男人。 The role is extremely difficult to grasp, but Ken Takakura uses very little language and very few body movements to perfectly interpret the man's nervous and affectionate psychology. In the words of Yoji Yamada, just one look can convey the joy and sadness of the characters, which only Ken Takakura can do.
凭《幸福的黄手帕》获奖后，高仓健依然坚持着演技上的追求，很少出演无聊的商业电影，即便有高价投资也不接。 He repeatedly honed his acting skills and constantly explored the inner heart of the character. The release of "The Hunt" in China has pushed him to a peak that no one can match.
Although the prestige of the Japanese film industry is extremely high, Takakura Ken has always lived a reclusive life, never participated in meaningless social interactions, did not like to interact with politics and businessmen, did not pull relations, engaged in clinging, and occasionally came forward, which was mainly based on positive social activities. For 60 years, he was so low-key that he rarely walked the red carpet.
Compared with the flashy entertainment life, Ken Takakura pays more attention to polishing the inner world. He was like the writer Hemingway, hunting, fishing, traveling. Through these things, you constantly temper your will and achieve the purpose of your practice. In his view, men must live like a man, have a manly spirit, know how to be patient and diligent. Any challenge must be bravely faced.
Such a life has shaped his hardness, and his love for literature and poetry has shaped his warmth.
At the age of 25, he met the love of his life, 19-year-old Jiang Lizhi Huimei.
Jiang LiZhi Huimei went to the camp of american soldiers to sell songs at a young age, and with her beautiful singing voice and cute image, she embarked on the road of singer.
At the age of 14, Emi Jiang released the album "Tennessee Waltz", which sold 400,000 copies and became a star of great interest overnight.
Ken Takakura is a huge fan of Emi Etoshi, he did not expect to be able to cooperate with his idol to shoot a scene, and soon the two knew each other and fell in love.
The tough guys on the screen who don't smile and are cold and serious talk about love, it is simply romantic and enthusiastic, cheerful and happy to no.
He knew that Tomoemi liked cars, so he got an imported Thunderbird sports car, and they drove out together to see the Torch Festival at Todaiji Temple in Nara Prefecture, to watch the Apollo Dance Festival in Tokushima Prefecture, and to go hunting at Matsumoto Castle in Nagano Prefecture. The relationship between the two quickly warmed up, and they were happily married when Ken Takakura was 28 years old.
After marriage, Etoshi Tomoemi followed the Japanese tradition as a full-time wife, and she began to learn to cook when she could not cook, only because Takakura Ken once said: Eating outside has no appetite at all, and when she returns home, even if it is a bowl of tea and rice, she feels comfortable.
A bright star in the music world has since become an ordinary woman confined to the kitchen.
Ken Takakura is a tough guy on screen, and the same is true in life. Like many Japanese men, his machismo is extremely serious. Chi Hye-mi was found to have pregnancy poisoning, and the child died prematurely and could no longer have children. Immediately after, the two men's residence was hit by a fire, which was even more sad. 偏巧这时，高仓健表现出了大男子主义的冷漠，加重了妻子的心伤。
Eventually, the two agreed to divorce. Jiang Lizhi Huimei chose to make a comeback to the singing scene. However, time has changed, and popularity has long gone. After her comeback, Chi Hyemi's career has been poor. 整个人郁郁不乐，开始滥饮，45岁时终因饮酒窒息身亡。
Years later, Ken Takakura still can't let go. He said:
"When it hurts the hearts of others, it is often the hearts of the most important people who are hurt. There is no one in the world who is more precious than her, knowing so, and for some reason, will do something that stabs her deeply. ”
After the death of his ex-wife, Takakura Ken never married a wife again, not even an emotional scandal. For the rest of his life, he had no marriages and no children, but bought a house on the edge of his ex-wife's cemetery. Every year on the day of death, I would go there to offer flowers and incense, and sit silently.
That apology, may not have been put down for many years. So much so that in his later years, when he starred in the movie "RailroadMan", playing a man who neglected his wife's feelings because of his work, when the life of the railroadman came to an end, Takakura Ken suddenly asked the director: "Director, please add a song here." ”
那首歌，就是江利智惠美14岁时候的成名曲，《田纳西的华尔兹》。
He used this movie to say what he had never said to his wife, he only loved one person in his life, although he had taken detours in the process, ignored his wife, and ignored his wife, thinking that letting go was good for his wife, so he really let go of his wife's hand, but it was undeniable that he really loved Zhi Huimei.
The Slovaks are gone, leaving only regrets. As the classic line in "The Hunt" says: "Duchu, you see, what a blue sky, keep going, don't look at both sides, you will melt in the blue sky." After 83 years of ups and downs, Ken Takakura has finally melted into the blue sky.
