Accurate lens language

Simple plot, concise dialogue, concise and exquisite scenery, following the principle of "showing the real relationship in life", the director uses sometimes absurd, sometimes subtle, and Do not forget to paint the simple but extraordinary life of coachman Matsugoro with delicate brushstrokes.

The film cannot simply be classified as a period drama. The film only relies on the routines of period dramas such as character creation, fighting, and chivalry. It is more artistic and humane. The route embodies the skilled techniques, wonderful composition, and exotic appeal of the Japanese golden film period in the 1950s.

The filming route of the film is always simple and precise. Old Japanese houses, small arch bridges, bluestone paths, umbrellas, kimonos, and restaurants are all used throughout the film, but there is no sense of it at all. It is dull and repetitive, showing an elegant temperament and exquisite composition, and only uses an exaggerated running posture like a crab to create an exaggerated effect, making the film full of humor. This shows the director's profound skills and his skillful and calm control of the visual auxiliary narrative. The film’s clever use of lenses also consciously leaves aside some subtext that goes beyond the picture. Since the point of view is always on the protagonist, there is no frontal depiction of history, and only a background picture showing a student demonstration alludes to the living conditions of the lower class civilians during the war. The scene of Fushimatsu performing the Gion drum is the grandest scene in the whole play. Through the different positions of old and new characters towards the disappearing drum culture, the film is elevated to the perspective of the entire nation, and a fearless spirit is extracted from Fushimatsu. The spirit of life, and then reflect on the prosperity and rejuvenation of the entire nation, and recall the traditional culture. The director's allegorical structure is so precise and invisible, but leaves room for thinking that makes people think about it again and again.
