Film evaluation

Luoshengmen skillfully adapts the plot of Akutagawa Ryunosuke's novel, and uses a unique technique of multiple parallel narration to narrate the death events in the jungle. The monologues of each character in the film are fragments of the whole event. Through the reflection of people's selfish nature, the monologues themselves become unreliable. In the same way, the narrators themselves are unreliable. The film deeply reflects the complexity of human nature. Death makes people sad and small, great and sincere are exposed to the summer sun. Through the narration of death, the film shows director Akira Kurosawa's understanding of human soul, endows more profound philosophical connotation than death itself, and guides the audience to pay more attention to human nature, how to discard the evil side of human nature and move towards a bright future. (a comprehensive review of film review and Film Literature)

Through the different and seemingly contradictory narratives of Duo Xiangwan, Zhen Sha and Wu Hong, we can see the subtlety and fragility of the love between the two sexes. Bearing loyalty, trust and responsibility, it is difficult to resist the deliberate destruction of outsiders. An original beautiful love can be destroyed in an instant. The narratives of the three parties are in line with their respective identities and circumstances. They are not deliberately lying, but one-sided truth. This kind of one-sided reality is often the carrier of human nature.

If we interpret the ending of the film as Kurosawa's helplessness and compassion for the individual's inability to leave the society and to build human nature in the way of lifting the ear from the ground, it is not impossible. When the passer-by who peels off the baby's clothes becomes angry and scolds the woodcutter for stealing the dagger, the woodcutter is speechless. The film seems to highlight the uncertainty of the facts and the disappointment of human nature. However, when the woodcutter takes the baby from the monk and says that he has six children, and it is not terrible to have one more, the viewer will naturally understand the woodcutter's helplessness in stealing daggers. The monk suddenly realized that he immediately regained his respect for the woodcutter and his confidence in human nature. The film expresses the understanding of the individuals who are struggling in the dilemma of life. In the face of man-made calamity, the tragedy of human nature has the effect of forcing people to tears. (review of Yangcheng Evening News)
