"The Dancing Girl of Izu": The most beautiful ever
Huang Zihong
In the picturesque Izu, the characteristic tourist punch card scene in the original book "The Dancing Girl of Izu" by Nobel Prize winner Yasunari Kawabata has been preserved.
The Japanese film "The Dancing Girl of Izu" is based on the novel of the same name, and there are many versions, but the most familiar and favorite version of mainland audiences is none other than Yamaguchi's version.
Momoe Yamaguchi was a unique beauty in the Showa period, an unprecedented benchmark for Japanese single-eyelid female idols, and Yamaguchi's innate purity and elegance and super high appearance can still be seen even in today's aesthetics.
"Izu's Dancing Girl" is Yamaguchi's debut on the screen, and for her film and television song idol, the little dancers of the same age in the film are almost the true colors. She is accompanied by the sunny and handsome, gentle Andyo Miura, who is also her later husband.
In Yasunari Kawabata's pen, 14-year-old dancer Afu from Oshima and 20-year-old Tokyo high school student Kawashima seem to have been a pair of young people who have no intersection in their lives.
However, starting from a routine performance by the A-Fu family and a solo budget trip on Kawashima, starting from the shelter under the eaves of the same village shop, in just two days, the two had a unique encounter, a shocking and unforgettable first love.
14-year-old Ah Fu, who has been out performing with his family for many years, left the big island in the spring to go out to sell art, and only returned when it was cold. Kawashima was a first-time student on a long trip, and everything was fresh and curious.
At that time, Ah Fu had already completed a beautiful and lively big girl. Along the way, Ah Fu holds a white puppy and releases the innocent nature in his bones.
Arjun was a girlfriend of A-Chan's childhood who fished, ran, and played by the sea, working at a bar near Yuno, the road they went to. This time, she carried an amulet specially requested for Arjun, hoping to bring good luck to the other party.
A sudden mountain rain made Kawashima speed up his pace and meet the team of the little dancer Ah Fu in front of him, and at that moment, the eyes of the two collided with a glimmer of light.
In the small shop on the road to shelter from the rain, the elderly shopkeeper Obasan treats A-fu and Kawashima separately. In her worldly and secular conception, the artist is originally a placeless, only home, where there are guests will go, will rest where. She advised Kawashima not to be with them, because that would be bad for Kawashima after all, after all, there is a difference between respect and inferiority, and there is a clear distinction between respect and inferiority.
Kawashima was disgusted by her words.
The rain outside the window was clear, and they continued to move forward without stopping. Kawashima followed suit and finally caught up with them. After a few simple greetings, each of them decided that the other was a good person and felt sorry for each other, so they decided to go forward together.
On the sunny mountain road after the rain, the laughter and song of Ah Fu reverberate, and the sound of the clogs of the people, mixed with the chirping of birds, shuttles between the green trees and reeds in the mountains.
As they passed by the village, the sign at the entrance of the village read "Beggars and Entertainers Detour", causing them to retreat. Of course, the young Kawashima did not approve of this from the bottom of his heart, and decided to take them through the village with him as a student hat and student uniform with his distinctive characteristics.
As they walked through the village, the general surprised looks and expressions of the villagers, men, women and children, made Kawashima feel unhappy again, but this was also something that Ah Fu expected, and they had long taken it for granted.
After arriving at his destination, Izu, who has a strong sense of democracy and equality, wants to stay in the same hotel as Ah Fu, but is considered extremely inappropriate by Ah Fu's eldest brother and insists on changing him to a better hotel.
After changing hotels, the hostess's act of ordering two meals (one for herself and one for Ah Fu's eldest brother) for Kawashima could not hide her shock on her face, and once again gave Kawashima, who was not deeply involved in the world, an appearance and sounded an alarm bell.
Kawashima was still unable to sleep for a while, squinting his eyes at the brightly lit inn next door, and ah fu they had already begun to perform. It is a folk dance that symbolizes the harvest of farming, showing primitive lust and love between every move and laughter.
The next morning, Akira's eldest brother, Yokawashima, soaked in the hot spring bath in Izu. In the open-air hot spring, Ah Fu was very happy to see his brother and Kawashima in the private room in the distance, and even stood naked on the stone and waved at them. For Kawashima, looking at Ah Fu's demeanor, it feels like a breeze blowing and a clear spring soaking in.
According to the address of Ah Jun's letter, Ah Fu found the bar where Ah Jun worked, but was told that she was no longer there.
However, the secular is always realistic and grim, and the bankers who live in the same hotel as Kawashima show extreme dissatisfaction and discrimination against Kawashima's behavior of inviting the dancer Ah Fu upstairs.
Hoping to read and read and learn more about the world, Ah Fu asked the guests to read stories to themselves, and then touched the spark in the backgammon with Kawashima.
Subsequently, Kawashima bought a duck-tongue hat and replaced it with the iconic student hat, hoping to get closer to ah fu.
In order to find the little white dog, Ah Fu accidentally found ah jun, who was overworked but was considered an infectious disease, and was already critically ill, and tearfully gave her the amulet he had brought with him. Subsequently, when Ah Fu was turned away on the grounds of preventing infection, at that moment, Yamaguchi Momoe slightly showed some superstars and powerful actors.
Ah Fu danced a dance on the theme of historical war, and every move, smile and smile were full of style.
Soon after, Arjun died of illness, and the hotel girl who seemed to be mean before revealed her true feelings, wept bitterly, and had pity for her life.
When he left Izu, Azumi did not know that Arjun had died of illness, but still prayed for her a speedy recovery in the valley, echoing through the mountains, and trotting all the way to find a cane for Kawashima.
The two walk in front of everyone along the leafy path and rest together at the top of the mountain, and Kawashima inserts a wooden comb on the top of his head for Ah Fu, gradually symbiotic feelings of pure love.
Seeing the parting, Kawashima resigned to the Aku clan overnight due to the early return to Tokyo.
At that time, Ah Fu also thought that Kawashima came to her for a walk as promised, and happily folded a thousand paper cranes on the window sill, which was the secret code for the agreement with Kawashima to meet.
The aunt's words made Ah Fu suddenly wake up: The dancers in our line, who do not want to have a vigorous love, but the world will not accept it.
When he learned that Kawashima was going to return to Tokyo early the next morning, Ah Fu hid and cried, and waited early at the pier the next morning.
Kawashima asked Ah Fu to walk the wooden comb on the top of his head as a souvenir, but he wanted to stop talking.
When the ship's inspiration sounded, Ah Fu, who had been looking down and silent, ran along the seawall next to the lighthouse, desperately waving his handkerchief, and Kawashima on the ship also took off his student hat and waved towards the shore and called affectionately...
Although Ah Fu was abandoned by the fate of the cold reality like a fierce wind like a rotten seed, her eyes still flashed helplessness, disappointment and abandonment, but there would be no longer such pure love in her heart, and there would be no more dreams and waiting in her future life...
