Directed by Akira Kurosawa and starring Joe Shimura, the film "The Desire to Live" released in Japan in 1952 is a great film, even if the film's analysis and criticism of the numb reality of the Japanese government on that day is not only described, from the perspective of the awakening of human nature, it is equally great.

In this movie, "life" never refers to the state of the body, and the desire to "live" is not simply to live, but the pursuit of spiritual awakening and soul flashing.
Think about what we were doing in 1952...
"The Desire to Live" is a great movie, not only about the death of a small civil servant but at least a hero, although "dare to be angry and dare not speak", but finally stand on the bridge and look at the innocent children, like looking at spotless flowers, leaving people with hope to bloom.

The protagonist of the film, Watanabe (played by Joe Shimura), is a small leader of the government department, an old man who lives a closed and dull life. Thirty years of work, like a day, reading documents, stamping official seals, not late, not leaving early, and doing things carefully and not crossing the line. In life, dress conservatively and do not make mistakes, and bereavement of his wife for many years and no longer marry, from him, we can dig out a Japanese version of the image of "set man".

At the beginning of the film, housewives jointly apply to the municipal government to fill in the accumulated water of the underground sewer and build a children's playground on it.
Watanabe, the chief of the civic section, did not think about it, so he pushed this group of women who reflected environmental sewage problems to the civil engineering department.

The civil engineering department was immediately pushed to the park section, and the park section was pushed to the health department... All departments responded that appeared to be legitimate and reasonable that "it should be handled by other departments". In this way, the ball that the citizens asked to build the park rolled between more than a dozen departments of the municipal government, and finally kicked back to the civic section.
The film's reflection of bureaucracy makes me feel "intimate" – hating the practices of these departments, and is it still happening repeatedly in China, or in contrast to the foreign land of the film, more than 70 years later?

Watanabe, who has been working for more than 30 years, is insensitive to this — watching him tear off the cover of his drawer on "How to Improve Office Efficiency," a dusty plan for many years— and the narrator of the film points out this without mercy (shocking my heart!). In the plainness of the film, there is a chilling vitriol.

What motivates Watanabe's work? Today, young us, bold, assertive, proactive, courageous, if we put in the movie that kind of working environment for a few years, will we be like Watanabe, as long as we do not make mistakes, as long as we can keep the position will be all right?
Seeing Watanabe's old-fashioned look that can not change at the end of the day, my heart is really a little chilly.

If nothing special happens, the days will still pile up like stagnant water. The body is alive, but the heart is long dead.
Until Chief Watanabe went to the hospital to take X-rays due to physical discomfort, he was diagnosed with stomach cancer - this diagnosis made a wave of backwater, and the film appeared a silent gap after knowing the bad news.

After learning that his stomach cancer was advanced, the nothingness of life and the shadow of death covered his mind, and in his despair, Watanabe did not go to work, he took out half of his savings and borrowed wine in the tavern to pour sorrow, hoping to be relieved.
He had never drunk a single drink with his own money, and he was ashamed of it. In the tavern, he bought expensive wine for the first time. Although it was not good and painful, it felt very painful.
He had the desire to be born again—the urge to break through himself. He let the vulgar fiction writers he met in the tavern take him to play, and he wanted to spend decades of money at once!

When he saw his painting style turn around and he was determined to go to the flower day and wine, the sentence "When he is old and into the flowers, he forgets his advanced age", but it is normal to think about it - they are all old, they are terminally ill and have not lived long, and their lives are hopeless - why do you restrain yourself?

When people are frustrated and desperate, it is easy to use the excuse of liberation, that is, to let themselves fall into another quagmire. So Watanabe could not be unconventional as Faust— under the guidance of a vulgar novelist, he sought pleasure in bars and nightclubs, but did not exchange peace and fullness of his heart.
This point is portrayed very realistically in the film, revealing the reality in a playful way - in the face of the huge pressure of death, the indulgence of the drunken dream of death cannot solve the anxious dilemma of life.

When Watanabe sang the song "How Short Is Life" for the first time, the song and state were incompatible with the atmosphere of indulging in joy on the scene, making people want to cry and laugh, and the crowd suddenly fell silent.
Here we must talk about Shimura Joe's performance, that is a big feature, really a special actor, his mouth is drooping, stagnant and a bit like tearful eyes, those face close-ups, at first glance may be difficult to accept, but later will find that this is Shimura Joe in a very unexpected or unconventional way to interpret, which makes this work different! So the film gives him a lot of close-ups to capture the subtle expressions on his face, and Shimura Joe does a good job of interpreting the dying man's various emotions such as pain and dazedness and longing.
P.S.: The pessimistic and positive theme song "How Short Life Is":
Let's fall in love with the girl / Before the red lips fade / While the enthusiasm has not yet turned cold / No one knows what will happen tomorrow"...

The plot takes a sharp turn, and when Oda comes to Watanabe with a lively and cheerful atmosphere, he is suddenly very obsessed with the vitality of Oda.
This little girl who is full of vitality because of work and eating is very interesting, she is particularly fond of smiling, and she is a little confused, because after a year and a half of staying in the unit and finding that nothing new has happened in the unit, she decided to resign. This is in stark contrast to Watanabe, who has not taken a leave of absence for thirty years.

The reason for the unusual intimacy of the relationship is that she finds that the section chief thinks the same as she does, and meets Zhiyin, so she has a feeling as if he is the father, so she seems very close.

Watanabe took Oda to eat, drink and have fun all day, and then felt that it was still not enough, so he made an appointment with Oda for several days.
The content of this play, the film is so rich! So coherent! So engaging! It's almost a natural way to have fun! Everything is so smooth!

Watanabe inadvertently becomes friends with his female subordinates and becomes dependent on the energetic young man, but he is only an anesthetic to treat heart diseases—doing what he wants to do, not being a mummy.
However, this move did not get the kindness of his children - not only did he work hard for his son and could not get his son's closeness, but when he was extremely afraid and helpless, he was ruthlessly reprimanded by his son, so Watanabe swallowed back the idea of confiding the truth to his son, which made people even more indignant.

Oda is not a thoughtful girl, but has a natural vitality. It was interesting enough to accompany the old man to this point--but for several days, even Oda, who had no intention of doing so, felt a little awkward and refused to see Watanabe again.

When Watanabe asked her with infinite longing, "Teach me, how can I be like you?" "I especially understand his feelings for Oda – he doesn't have any intentions for Oda, he just likes the innate enthusiasm in Oda. He lacked this anger too much in his past life, so he tried to feel this magic in Oda, even if it was just to watch her eat and drink greedily.
Oda said in a casual manner, "Why don't you do something too," and this ordinary sentence opened Watanabe.

Akira Kurosawa arranged such a classic scene with his indescribable cinematic wisdom:
After reflecting on the sudden epiphany of life, the section chief quickly walked downstairs, while many young men and women sang happy birthday songs together, and from the camera, this is sung to the section chief who went downstairs.

But suddenly, a girl who goes upstairs appears next to the chief of the camera - this is actually the protagonist of today's birthday!
Here, Akira Kurosawa cleverly arranged the rebirth of the section chief's soul, and also let the young children of the youth send him blessings, and this youthful vitality is exactly what the section chief has always wanted.

Watanabe's orientation is correct. The next day, Watanabe went to work and took out a joint application from the housewife in a mountain of documents—dealing with the sewage accumulated in a residential area was an application that he had forwarded to other departments, and he returned to work as his goal for the rest of his life.

Watanabe decided to build a park in the area. In order to facilitate this, he personally went out on horseback and did not hesitate.
Seeing the end of life, I want to resist, and many people's work is the same. Watanabe no longer anesthetizes himself with personal enjoyment, nor does he find another job, but returns to his original post to change and create, which is the direction of the rest of his life.

A dying person suddenly discovers what he is living for and how to live happily, which is a very central cliché story. Akira Kurosawa abruptly removes the protagonist less than two-thirds of the way through the story, and the film's progress suddenly transitions to Watanabe's death.
This kind of treatment is very bold, why is it that the desire to be born is germinated, but it is so fast to death?

Because this is not a film that only writes about individuals - although it is a good play if only Watanabe is written - in addition to the philosophical thinking of ethical kinship, life and death, the focus of the film is indeed a reflection on the value of life and the meaning of work, but Watanabe's death is not the end of the movie.

The director let Watanabe's story line end abruptly in the middle of the section, replaced by another group of people who have similar identities to the deceased protagonists, of course, are living people, and at the end of the film, the appearance and performance of this group of people is the most exciting! Eating and drinking in front of the spiritual hall, people are long and short, gossip, not stopping for a moment, wonderful, too wonderful.
The memories and arguments of his colleagues and superiors at the memorial service gave me a deeper understanding of the film—the first half of which was thought-provoking for reflection and torture of life. In the second half, I saw the director's ability to peel off the cocoon.

The film actually spends the last 50 minutes questioning, speculating and remembering the deceased - in the memories of the difficult process of promoting the construction of the park, in the analysis of the reasons for Watanabe's temperament, Watanabe's initiative and selfless dedication in the last five months of his life, and even the image of not being afraid to collide with his boss in order to adhere to his ideals, are gradually correctly sketched by colleagues.
——Whether people live or die, they exist in the memories of others, like a puzzle, spelling out a complete story, and the theme is also deepened in the noise.

Watanabe's simple sentiment of building a park is correct, but it doesn't seem to be so easy – building a new park in a slum doesn't seem to be a reflection of political achievements. Sewage should be treated, site should be surveyed, construction should be supervised... In particular, this matter can not be done by one department, it is necessary to promote the coordinated handling of various government departments, and there is no oil and water at all, and who is willing to do things that are not beneficial? Where is it comfortable to sit in the office and drink tea and stamp it?
So we see the faces of government officials, that is, the faces of cadres and sentient beings -- it seems that bureaucracy is universal and transcendent.

Watanabe was running around begging, that kind of nest, it was so impressive!
This is a mixture of dejected and hopeful contradictions—not to win the sympathy and tears of the audience by multiplying the usual routine, which is to remove all prospects, and it is his embarrassing but unwilling eyes.

This is also Kurosawa's repeated emphasis on this kind of self-consciousness in the face of death, which requires extremely strong willpower and irreparable loneliness - all those who laugh at him finally get serious.

In order to solve the problem once and for all, Watanabe, with his dying determination, exerted unprecedented enthusiasm and courage to confront the entire bureaucracy - he even led the masses to the door and confronted the leaders, bold!

He also bumped into the underworld.
When the underworld boss looks at Watanabe, Watanabe has no fear in his eyes. It is estimated that the underworld boss was shocked by his perseverance not to be afraid of death.

After the underworld boss walked for a while and then turned back, Watanabe still walked into the office, and when the underworld boss looked at the clerk next to him, the clerk immediately bowed his head in fear and hurried away...
This kind of tenacity that is thick and thin and straight to the heart can only be found in the works of the master...

When the plan to build the park was finally approved and implemented, he supervised the construction of the park's construction site like a child until the park was finally completed. So he was unanimously loved by the citizens.

The movie borrows from others to say that the park is like his child, which is more cruel than scolding Watanabe's own son...
This dying man is to do a real thing before he dies, and then he dies happily.

The women who witnessed the whole process, their silent tears in the spiritual hall, embarrassed the deputy mayor and the officials around him.
The people made the sharpest criticism of reality with a gentle gesture, leaving those present speechless.
I wonder if the deputy mayor present here at this moment will wonder in his heart: Will there be ordinary people who spontaneously hang on to my funeral and shed tears of true feelings?

Although life is ultimately lonely, under the sword of Damocles of death, another kind of new life is renewed. Watanabe's gaze was fixed on the sunset sky he longed for—a free sky he had never noticed in his entire life.

This is the "perfect" ending, the ending that Kurosawa solemnly tells about the dark side of some human nature, always leaving people with hope after great compassion.
Watanabe's efforts have made his colleagues full of reverence for him, full of hatred for the scum-like working state and stagnant environment, and even vowed to change and forge ahead in the future!
This is the design of the film: the first half is like a mummy struggling to find the meaning of life alone, and the second half is sublimated and quietly overlooks the death of all beings (and thus transitions the meaning of life and death from the individual to the whole society).

Watanabe sang for the second time on a snowy night when the construction of the park was completed. Sitting alone on a swing in the park, he hummed the song again. At this time, the song was still deep, but because he had finally completed a meaningful thing, there was a little more satisfaction and satisfaction in the song.
This scene still seems lonely, but I think Watanabe's heart is full, and he is not afraid of death at all.

Watanabe finally found his desire to "live" and was reborn. Did his colleagues really find it too? Really happy?
No. Akira Kurosawa slaps someone hard at the end - the original subordinate took over Watanabe's position, received a complaint of a drainage pipe leak, and he calmly and without hesitation said, "This is ##部门管的, transferred to ##部门" - the same as watanabe, which was the same as watanabe, which was the same as the backwater Watanabe.
The desire to live, which was once a flash in the pan after drunkenness, proved that the backwater is difficult to stir, and the flame of spiritual rebirth must be truly burned when the flesh faces death.

Everyone shouted after drinking and continued to inherit the legacy, but none of them changed. A subordinate who had witnessed his colleague's "repentance" at Watanabe's funeral, who was still passionate, stood up in anger, was so disappointed that he sat down helplessly in the surprised eyes of his colleagues.
The truly awakened person is nothing more than a lonely and sad person. Not idealism, but realism. The truth of life is thus spread out to us.

Along with the clerk, the camera buries his head in a mountain of documents.
How many lives have been wasted by bureaucracy? How many people have been turned into stamp-stamping machines? Such a person may not have reached the final state of the protagonist in his lifetime, right? Even if you realize that it is sad to live like this, can you grasp your own destiny and life?
Most of us, like the people at the funeral in the film, only spit out a few words about introspection after three rounds of drinking and the emotions are surging. After drinking, I went back to my suffocating work (way of thinking). This time, after the so-called "drunken confession" scene, what brought us was even more intense despair.

So civil servants come to see "The Desire to Be Born". Don't laugh at this slogan, it doesn't have a little bourgeois atmosphere, this is not a romantic, petty bourgeois movie - born to die, in order to regain life. Unfortunately, this kind of courage that is enough to change lives is not enough for outsiders to be outsiders, and even after watching the movie, we can only get a short-term touch and continue to live a mediocre life. Therefore, after the first half of introspection, how touching the perception obtained, how ironic the second half of the irony is.
