内容简介
<p> 本片(😍)是山(🎊)中贞雄的(😟)遗作，也是他的“时代(❓)剧的庶民(⛏)电影”的代表作之一。他在片中吸取了美国(🎣)电影(🌌)和法(👋)国电影的(🥖)影响，并受到挚友兼老师小津(🎛)安(🔃)二郎的“小庶民电影 ”美学影响，将歷(🚻)史上江户时代的(🍰)小人物形像注入现代庶(🚇)民的语言、性(🏋)格、(🖤)行(🕞)止、(💊)灵魂，成就(😋)了一部(🦊)难得的社会现实主义的佳作。故(⏹)事发生于十八世纪德川幕府(🌷)时代，以悲凉(💺)调子诉说德川幕府时期低下层(🚁)的生活，开头与结尾都是自杀(📐)场景，映照出旧时日(🔛)本社会草根阶层的悲哀。另外，山中的剪辑流畅自如，视觉风格(🎈)锋如(✝)日本绘画，演员(🌟)表演也很(🖌)自然。此片(🚬)公认为山(👷)中最好的(🏩)作品，也是(🤸)他仅存的三部电影之(🍼)一(🐢)。<br/> Humanity and Paper Balloons,unlike most other Japanese films of this period,is a historical film with a critical edge.Refusing to glorify samurai,the film insteaddeflates the myth around them with a gentle humanity. The film opens directly after a penurious ronin samurai has taken his own life.At his funeral his neighbors from his slum mourn his death. Here the film introduces another ronin samurai who lives in equal poverty. Having pawned his sword for food,the samurai searches for work but to no avail. The family's only income comes from the little balloon children's toys made by the wife.Out of desperation,the samurai abets in an attempted kidnapping. After finding out,the wife kills him in his sleep and then takes her own life, closing the film's narrative circle.<br/> Brian Whitener, All Movie Guide.</p>
