What can't a mad dog do?

Wild Dog is a Kurosawa film that obviously draws lessons from Hollywood classics. For example, the opposition between Takashi Shimura and Minlang's elegy, one old and one young, one slow and one fast, is very common in western movies (see Anthony Mann's Tin Star or Ford's The Searcher, etc.). ), linear narrative order, the lens swings and pushes with the movement of the characters, and so on. More importantly, this film, which was shot in 1949, has shown many typical dark pool styles. In the next 20 years, all the films in Blackpool were basically like this until 1970. ? Kurosawa's films are generally tragic, showing the ugliness and cruelty of the social environment, especially the reflection of reality. For example, in "Wild Dog", Nakamura dressed as a tramp looking for a gun dealer in the street, and a large number of local ruffians were intertwined, showing the ruined Japan after the war, which was very sad. However, after these sorrows, Blackpool's hope for human nature always goes hand in hand, and he always expresses his hope implicitly or explicitly. In Wild Dog, Nakamura's boss always comforts him and tells him not to quit and not to be discouraged. In Heaven and Hell, the director played by Sanchuan did not sacrifice the driver's son for his own son, but at the end of Rashomon, the woodcutter took the baby away. I think it is slightly different from Hollywood that Akira Kurosawa is neither a simple cynical social observer, which makes people completely desperate, nor a simple American idealist. His helplessness and sadness about reality prompted him to write a story. Whenever he needed to make a choice, he would choose the positive side, which was not only his depression as a Japanese who experienced World War II, but also his depression as an Aries (birthday is).
