"Spider's Nest City" is a famous Japanese movie, an old antique movie, and many young people are estimated to have not seen it now, but the movie is definitely worth watching, even if it is a black-and-white movie released in 1957.
The film is directed by Akira Kurosawa, starring royal actors Toshiro Mifune and Isuzu Yamada, the film is adapted from Shakespeare's play "Macbeth", set in the Japanese Warring States Period, telling the story of the military general Washitsu Takeshi who was seduced by the witch prophecy and took the throne, and finally the people rebelled and left for themselves.
After watching this movie, the author was more impressed by the following pictures, I don't know if everyone resonates.
1. The makeup of the movie characters is strange, and even a little scary.
A The foreseeable monster that the two protagonists encounter in the forest, the makeup is white, sitting slowly rocking the car, saying words that we don't understand, feeling panicked, honestly watching it a second time, trying to fast forward.
B The military general Takeshi Washizu played by the male protagonist Toshiro Mifune kills another male protagonist with a scheme
After the general played by Yoshiaki Miki, at the banquet, because he was a thief with a weak heart, he saw Yoshiaki Miki's soul after death. The sitting posture was motionless, and the makeup was also white, and Washi Takeshi's eyes were afraid and scared, and as an audience, he was also panicked when he saw it.
C Washizu Takeshi's wife Washizu Asama, her makeup is also characteristic, white kimono, thrush high, no blood-colored makeup, especially the teeth are completely blackened, that makeup is really unacceptable, it looks terrible, in the eyes of Chinese, it is ghost makeup.
But it is understood that Japanese teeth blackening is a kind of aristocratic makeup, and when it is popular, ordinary people cannot afford to consume it, because tooth powder is specially manufactured.
Reprinted on the Internet, I found a photo that is not too scary~
2. The reversal at the end of the plot is unexpected.
When the enemy countries against Washizu Takeshi attacked him, in order to confuse Washitsu Takeshi, he ordered soldiers to hold branches in their hands and tie the tree to a carriage, and then attacked Spider's Nest Castle, giving the illusion of moving the forest. This plan caused Washizu Takeshi, as the lord of the city, to completely collapse, and the army's heart was shaken, and finally his own army defected and shot him to death with arrows.
