What are Kurosawa's main films? (You can say some styles)

Kurosawa series, one of the top ten outstanding directors in the world.

1, Pose sanshiro 1943

Kurosawa's first directorial work "Pose Sanshiro" was an immediate blockbuster. The film focuses on how a brave young man grew up to be a judo martial artist, reflecting the dispute between jujitsu and judo during the Meiji period in Japan from 65438 to 0880. Kurosawa is a real male artist. He expresses the Japanese national character through samurai art, and Kizo Shiro's dedication, courage, integrity, dedication, humanitarianism and rough struggle are the perfect embodiment of strong Blackstone style. The film is not only humorous and cheerful, but also different from the images of the old Japanese martial arts style. It also creates a new entertainment period in the history of Japanese movies, in which five scenes of judo competition are expressed in different rhythms, which further illustrates the peak of black picture processing.

2. Step on the Tiger's Tail 1945

Is Walking Tiger Tail Kurosawa's shortest film? The length of one hour condenses Kurosawa's standard narrative style. This film, shot in 1945, was limited by the economic and technical conditions at that time, and there was not much breakthrough in film techniques. The use of too many sheds gives the film a high-pressure expression means of stage play. In the subtitles at the beginning of the film, the cause, development and suspense of the event appear alternately in black. As a saying goes: It's a pity that suspicion is human nature, and the study of the duality of human nature in Heipeacetime makes Walking on the Tiger's Tail extend such a theme. Most of Kurosawa's early works describe the reality and history of his nation in subject matter, and most of the films adopt symmetrical methods, which profoundly reveal the conflict and impact between human nature and soul in subject matter. This "Step on the Tiger's Tail" is such a masterpiece.

3. Saburo's sequel (1945)

Because of the extraordinary achievement and far-reaching influence of Possession, Kurosawa made a sequel to this film two years later, which is the only sequel in Kurosawa's life. This film continues the story of the last episode and shows a story of seeking revenge with a different flavor. In particular, the description of villains depicts the other side of flesh and blood. Movies are still a channel to express the masculine beauty of warriors and men. Black's early style is characterized by intense drama conflict and character collision, all of which are melted in the director's slightly humorous means. Although the second episode of "Shiro Xuanzong" can't represent the highest level of Hei's, its blockbuster creative technique swept away the mediocrity of Japanese film circles.

4. Youth without regrets (1946)

This is the first film directed by Akira Kurosawa after World War II. Based on a real wartime event, the film shows the shrinking of human spiritual home in a chaotic society, and also shows Montenegro's position and attitude towards war and fascism. Black temporarily put aside his fanatical samurai style, but skillfully injected the spirit of Bushido into this female film. She is still stubborn after being reviled and humiliated by the world: I have a black and consistent masculine temperament for the heroine who has no regrets in youth. This kind of film is similar to the inspirational type of the domestic film Jiang Jie, but Kurosawa, with selfless dedication and empathetic delicacy, made a new-age woman who finally found herself and was loyal to her will get rid of the preaching elements, making people feel like a sore throat.

5. Beautiful Sunday 1947

This is Kurosawa's rare freehand brushwork, which stimulated Japan's post-war decadence to some extent. This film is based on Blackstone's consistent fluency and lotte spirit; How a pair of young but sad lovers put their troubles behind them on Sunday was portrayed as passionate oriental beauty. The hero courted his lover, showing Blackstone's romantic mentality, which made people feel refreshed. A pair of young lovers fantasized about the future operation of a small restaurant in the ruins, which not only made people feel happy, but also revealed Blackstone's deep hope. In addition, this film is also the first Japanese film that directly reflects young people's feelings about sex.

6. Rashomon 1950

Five parties and witnesses to the murder case told five different endings. What is the real nature of the argument? The film describes the strange and complicated shadows in people's hearts, and sharply analyzes the most profound part of human beings and makes it public. The intricate montage of light and shadow shows the innate hypocrisy and sin of human beings, and shows the unchangeable nature of human beings: even if they die, they will not give up hypocrisy and concealment.

7. Liu Fangsong 1952

This is a movie that strongly shocks the soul, and all people with conscience should see it. See how a person understands and realizes the true meaning of life and the value of survival in the final process of life. Kurosawa skillfully integrated the major theme of "Why do people live" into an ordinary story. Through the hero's hope to find himself terminally ill and his determination to build a park for the citizens before his death, we will discuss a very clear and practical statement. In addition, the film severely satirizes and criticizes the bureaucratic prevarication and intrigue. This is a film that wants to evoke emotional return but makes people desperate. At the end of the film, Kurosawa made the song "Life is so short" reverberate in our ears, so that we can still see the dawn that penetrates the desires of the world and bureaucratic imprisonment.

8. Seven Samurai 1954

The Seven Samurai is one of the most successful and influential works in the film industry. In this film, Black finally began to reproduce the Hollywood style. Ironically, The Seven Samurai was successfully remake by Hollywood and became the masterpiece of American westerns. The Seven Samurai is a very simple story, which describes the process of the seven samurai protecting farmers from bandits, but it contains a kind of tenacity and courage. In the film, Black shows Superman's directing skill for the first time, and the looting of several warriors and bandits shows the momentum of thousands of troops. After a series of fierce battles between horses and mud, with the application of fast editing and continuous plural shots, all the images are condensed into one, which is exciting. This film was called the best work in history by the Japanese film "Ten Daily".

9. Records of the living 1955

This film is the most concerned and controversial among Kurosawa's works reflecting reality. The film describes the old man played by Mifune Junlang who decided to build an underground house after hearing the news that the United States and the Soviet Union conducted a hydrogen bomb test and the radiation dust fell to Japan. Finally, he was put into a mental hospital, hallucinating that he had come to another planet and saw the earth burned to ashes. This film is by no means the result of black fantasy. He took Japan's unique history as the main line and constructed the Japanese visual view. He used his daily mentality to fight against the theme of aging, death and war, and got a terrible and almost cruel reality. This film is Kurosawa's self-reflection on the war and the pain caused by it. He said: "I don't want to be grandstanding, I just want people to hear the kind call from a living person." Black is a rare humanist. He criticized the numbness of real life with his right hand and sought a perfect tomorrow with his left hand.

10, Spider Nest City 1957

This film is adapted from Macbeth, one of Shakespeare's four tragedies, and is regarded as the most successful adaptation. Kurosawa changed the background to the Warring States period in Japan, and through an ambitious samurai political conspiracy, he carried out the necessary continuation of samurai movies and black moral concepts. Black likes to put people in a certain environment. Give certain conditions and incentives to measure people's reactions. Spider's Nest City is a typical work that tests life. He is also the most European Japanese director. Although Isuzu Yamada (the wife of a samurai) absorbed the performance mode of "Nengju", the "Bird's Nest City" was also dressed as an antique stage of Nengju, showing charming national characteristics. However, he still uses western modern film techniques to express all this, making Spider an entertainment blockbuster that perfectly integrates eastern culture and western art, and also a samurai film in costume. Compared with the uninhibited Seven Samurai, the film's introversion shows its handy directing skills.

1 1, basement 1 1957

Kurosawa is not only a master of film art, but also his comic talent is displayed in Zi Saburo. In the novel "The Bottom", Black turned his eyes to slums, where prostitutes, thieves, drivers and actors live ... Usually, we will connect this tragic figure with the back of society to achieve the purpose of criticism. However, the treatment of black is just the opposite, showing the lives of the lowest-level characters with funny comedies. Black's sense of touch is sensitive and strong, and the most vivid characters in the film and the original vitality, explosiveness and dramatic suffering and sadness at the bottom are all his confidence as a master of humanism. Black broad mind and optimistic spirit of self-improvement are once again proved by the laughter at the bottom.

12, the keen king of soldiers, 1958

Another translation is Heroes of the Warring States Period. Two versions have appeared on the market a few days ago. This film describes Princess Yukime of the Moon Family in the Warring States Period. Under the protection of a loyal general, she escaped the enemy raid with a batch of gold and took refuge in the allied forces. The aggressive black sky, the endless plain and the picture of two dark shadows fighting each other in this film are impressive. Samurai is a pure film that advocates goodness, and its idealistic hope makes the work closer to the enlightenment film. In Samurai, you can feel the vision of a painter. The processing of images and light is a major breakthrough in Samurai. Black shot a wide screen for the first time and the effect was so good that it gave up the standard screen. This film was selected as one of the top 100 Japanese films for its perfect samurai plot.

13, the dream of an evil man 1960

Kurosawa's important works of criticizing reality. Taking frequent political corruption incidents at that time as the theme. Revenge, suspense, adventure in one, mercilessly exposed the darkness of Japanese official and business circles. Xixing's father became an innocent victim in a political corruption incident. Since then, he has been chasing after the culprit who killed his father. Xixing used various methods to launch complex means against politicians, which deepened the root of evil. The most enjoyable thing about the film is the composition, the layout of passages, stairs, rooms, the arrangement of mirrors, and even the spatial arrangement of rubble piles, all of which are photographed neatly and calculated surprisingly accurately. This film is also the first work of Akira Kurosawa's studio.

14, xintie 196 1 year

If you like Clint Eastwood's A handful of dollars and Bruce Willi's The Ultimate Warrior, then you will definitely like Sweetheart Stick, because they are both adapted from Akira Kurosawa. Indeed, Hei made Heart Stick into an action entertainment film, which is a new mode produced by absorbing western film formats and merging with his samurai style. Since then, Black, like Spielberg and other Hollywood directors, has eliminated the cultural gap between the East and the West and achieved great harmony in the essence of human nature. It vividly shows an anarchist philosophy and a free super-moral concept, which is amazing. Toshiro mifune created a samurai image of pure Japanese totem in Kurosawa's series of martial arts movies. In Heart Stick, his charming samurai image conquered the world again and became the most popular and favorite movie of Kurosawa.

15, heaven and hell 1962

The story takes a bizarre blackmail incident as a clue, and builds a wooden bridge between money and humanity, with heaven at one end and hell at the other. Who can pass and finally get peace of mind? The film is full of interesting reasoning and analysis on the opposition between good and evil in human nature, young kidnappers who hate the rich, honest businessmen who provide ransom and serious and persistent criminal police. Kurosawa pays tribute to Hitchcock with a sense of justice, although the director who skillfully combines ugliness with justice, strength with extreme poverty, enthusiasm with insidious opposition has surpassed Hitchcock in depth. But for most people, this great suspense film is more entertaining than rational after all.

16, Thirteen Lang of Toona sinensis 1962

Kurosawa is a master storyteller, and any of his films, no matter how long or short, are all in one go, flowing and climaxing. As he described himself, Toona sinensis is an elegant waltz, which makes people feel the mind-opening spring. This film is generally regarded as the companion of Heartbeat. In this film, Hei is also committed to breaking the cultural differences and ideological system restrictions, hoping to share the basic feelings of human beings. Mifune Junlang's samurai film is already Kurosawa's moral body body double. He not only carried forward the greatness of the eastern chivalrous man, but also made the Japanese samurai spirit widely recognized through his image. Spring Thirteen Lang pays attention to depicting the subtle changes in the hearts of small people, and portrays the theme of "All that glitters is not gold" very successfully. At the end of the film, Mifune kills Dai Dafu with a backhand sword, and blood gushes from his chest, which is one of the most famous duel scenes in history.

17, red beard 1965

Kurosawa's last masterpiece in the 1960s is still starring Mifune Junlang, the spokesman of samurai spirit. This film is developed from a segment of a teenager's growth. After graduation, a hot-blooded young doctor was sent to work in a poor area. Under the infection of the director's red beard, he finally understood the way of practicing medicine and gave up vanity. This time, Hei endowed the growth story with new vitality, that is, the humanitarian world outlook. The production process of this film lasted for two years, and Akira Kurosawa's almost perfect image performance was highly praised. When we abandoned the wild heart bit by bit with the master and walked into the heart of a kind and persistent old man step by step with the black, we found that there were tears that we had already lost and awe-inspiring life truths. The scene of the earthquake in the film is soul-stirring, and it is even more sad for the beggar family to commit suicide by taking poison.

18, small market without season 1970

The 1970s was a bleak period for Kurosawa's creation, and 1970 "Small Market without Seasons" (also translated as "The Sound of Trams") failed miserably because the film did not have enough appeal and paid too much attention to form, which was also the biggest blow to Kurosawa's film career. Because of this movie, he tried to kill himself. Obviously, Kurosawa has great confidence in this film. This is his first color film, which describes an imbecile imitating a tram driver and playing in his small world every day. In this world, there are a group of seemingly peaceful people who have no future. They are actually repeating their daily life like an imbecile Xiao Liu. Black tried to create a colorful song and dance with surreal scenery, but the heaviness and sadness in his heart made it hard to breathe.

19, Chaos 1985

Great palace epic. It was the first black work I came into contact with when I grew up. Spectacular war scenes. Handsome character scheduling, wonderful moments at your fingertips and perfect story layout not only realized Kurosawa's persistent ideal of movies, but also changed my subjective impression of Japanese movies by 180 degrees. Based on folk fables and the essence of Shakespeare's famous play King Lear, the film depicts a majestic old man's process of resisting darkness and loneliness with tenacious willpower in the boundless emotional desert, creating an incredible appeal. The film won many international awards and became the most outstanding masterpiece of Japanese films. The desolation of the world and the back of the soldiers, walking slowly under the gaze of the camera, carefully and subtly see through the world and people's hearts in the fog of history, which is a fable of chaos and a portrayal of black.

20. Dream 1990

Dream, the strangest film in film history, consists of eight segments. They have a wide range of meanings, some of which can be understood and some of which cannot be expressed. After watching Dream, I will enter the same scene at night, enter Kurosawa's night world, and wake up a little scared. Who is in the dream, Blackstone or me? "Dream" is funded by black admirers Spielberg and Lucas, and the great director Martin Sises also plays the leading role in "Van Gogh's Passage". Kurosawa packed his childhood and memories along the way into images with strange and magnificent brushes, and combined with high-tech production, it was wonderful.

Kurosawa said

19 10 was born on March 23rd, 2000 in Datamachi, Shinagawa District, Tokyo. His father used to be an officer, and later he became the director of a middle school. His mother's family is doing business in Osaka, and Akira Kurosawa is the youngest of the eight brothers. 1928 after graduating from junior high school, he was full of enthusiasm for painting. 1934 was admitted as an assistant director and entered PCL Film Company, the predecessor of Dongbao Film Company, to study as a director and screenwriter. From 65438 to 0943, Akira Kurosawa directed his debut "Zi San Si Lang", which was a great success. Together with Keisuke Kinoshita, the director of Flowers in the Harbor, they are regarded as the new hope of Japanese films. Luo Sheng, which he directed in 1950, won the grand prize at the Venice International Film Festival the following year. Akira Kurosawa directed 30 films in his life, several of which won awards at international film festivals.

The first work directed after the war was "Worthy of My Youth", which was written by left-wing playwright Eijir? Hisaita and opposed militarism. 1948, Akira Kurosawa directed the wooden barrel again, insisted on using Junlang of Mifune as the leading actor in Drunk Angel, and started the "Golden Age of Akira Kurosawa" composed of Bibi, Akira Kurosawa and Junlang of Mifune, becoming the strongest Japanese film partner. Before Red Beard arrived in 65,438+07, the works directed by Akira Kurosawa and Junlang Mifune included Rashomon, Idiot, Seven Samurai, Record of Life, Spider's Nest City, Darby and Heaven and Hell. Not only Rashomon, which was shot at 1950, won the grand prize at the Venice International Film Festival the following year. From then on, Kurosawa became famous in the world film industry, and Mifune Junlang also won the Best Actor Award at the Venice Film Festival for his "Darts" and "Red Beard", so they established the title of "The World Blackpool, the World Minlang Elegy" in the Japanese film industry.

The period from the second half of 1960 to the beginning of 1970 is the low tide of Kurosawa's creation. First of all, his relationship with Mifune Junlang suddenly broke down. From then on, they stopped talking and didn't cooperate, but both of them were silent about the reason. 1970, his adaptation of Sh?gor? Yamamoto's novel City without Seasons failed at the box office, and Akira Kurosawa even attempted suicide. However, Kurosawa quickly stood up again. 1975, the Japanese-Russian joint venture film Desuvuzara directed by him won the gold medal at the Moscow Film Festival and the Oscar for best foreign language film. 1980, The Shadow Warrior, funded by French film company and co-produced by Akira Kurosawa and Junlang of Mifune, won the Palme d 'Or at Cannes Film Festival.

1985, Kurosawa completed the giant costume movie Chaos. In his later years, Kurosawa was keen on creating costume films, and his artistic pursuit was more persistent. His works also had profound philosophical connotations. Kurosawa, with a height of 1.8 1 m, had a rare tall physique in Japan at that time. It is said that he demands perfection in everything, and the voice of yelling often scares the staff all over. When filming Heroes of the Warring States, he waited 100 days for a satisfactory sunny shot. When filming Heaven and Hell, he found that the second floor of a residential building blocked his shot of Shinkansen actors throwing gold, so he simply demolished the second floor of the residential building. Because of this meticulous spirit, persistent and tenacious attitude, he was called the "emperor" on the set by his behind-the-scenes collaborators.

In general, Akira Kurosawa has the following characteristics:

1. can tell stories. Don't underestimate this. The director is actually a storyteller. Nowadays, many directors can't even tell the story well, so they come out to make some inexplicable movies, which is actually a failure. Telling stories is actually the most difficult thing in movies. It takes a lot of skills to tell a very common and simple thing with great interest and thought-provoking.

2. Scene scheduling. As mentioned earlier, Akira Kurosawa made many films about ancient Japanese samurai and war. You can go and see how the master used the arrangement and cutting of the lens to achieve a gripping effect when the film conditions were not good at that time.

3. freehand brushwork. What is freehand brushwork? My simple understanding is equivalent to China's traditional Chinese painting. It's nice to talk about a few splashes of ink, but everything is in it. Kurosawa is like this. In the era of color movies, his color application is very strong. Obviously, Zhang Yimou was deeply influenced by him, but Zhang Yimou is now flashy.

4. Human nature. Akira Kurosawa's films have been discussing human nature since Red Beard, but I don't think he accuses the darkness of human nature like some directors. He deconstructed the good and evil of human nature from a very objective perspective, especially praised courage, saw the smallness and arrogance of human beings, and felt a sense of compassion.

Having said that, I hope it will be helpful for you to watch Akira Kurosawa's movies, and it will also inspire you to watch the master's movies. Just relax and look at them, so you can have some gains and happiness!

He won numerous awards in his life. He is not only a film director in the traditional sense, but also devoted his life to breaking the cultural differences and ideological system restrictions of different countries, hoping to share the basic feelings of mankind. Kurosawa was praised by Asia Weekly1February 1999 as a cultural and artistic figure who made the greatest contribution to the progress of Asia in the 20th century. In the film career of more than half a century, Kurosawa's films have created a box office miracle lasting for 20 years, but the emptiness of arrogance, failure and suicide often accompanies him and affects his career. 1998 The 3/kloc-0 films he left to future generations when he died all revealed a common feature of Kurosawa's films-the fusion of form and content. Because of this, he became one of the most outstanding directors since 1895. Kurosawa's greatest achievement is that several generations of Asian filmmakers have been influenced by him. As the famous director Zhang Yimou commented in Time magazine in the United States, "Akira Kurosawa made me understand that when we go to the outside world, we should keep China people's own character and style." "This is a very important lesson he taught Asian filmmakers."
