本(běn )片是山(✒)中(zhōng )貞雄(xióng )的遺作,也是他(tā )的“時代劇的庶民(🤢)電影”的代表作之(zhī )(🥈)一(🐉)。他在片(🔬)中(zhōng )吸取(🐮)了美國(guó )(😧)電(🎾)影和法國電影(🎏)的(de )影(yǐng )響,並受到(dào )(🚤)摯(🖲)友兼老(🕔)師小津安二郎的“小庶民(mín )電(💆)影(yǐng ) ”美學(🚉)影響,將歷(🛺)史上江戶(hù )時代的小人物(wù )形像(xiàng )注入現代庶民的語(yǔ )言、(💞)性格、行止、靈魂(🥁),成(chéng )就了一部難得的社會現實主義(yì )的佳作。故事發生(✋)於十八(🙌)世紀德川幕府時代,以(yǐ )悲涼調(diào )子訴說(🥫)德(dé )川幕(mù )府時(shí )期低(🕙)下層(céng )(😍)的(💠)生活(huó ),開頭(🎋)與結尾都是自殺場(⚾)景,映照(zhào )出舊(🈁)時日本社(💔)會草根階(jiē )層(🛎)的(de )悲哀(āi )。另(😊)外(wài ),山中的剪輯流暢自如(rú ),視覺風(fēng )格鋒如日(💯)本繪畫,演(yǎn )員表演也很(📧)自然。此片公認為山中(🥤)最(zuì )好的(♌)作品,也(yě )是他僅存的三部(🌂)電影(🌱)之一。
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.
