Plot summary

On a Tokyo dump’s shantytown edge, interwoven vignettes follow residents scraping by: a boy who “drives” an imaginary trolley, a homeless father and son designing a dream house, a young woman brutalized at home, drunks, schemers, and saints of small kindnesses. Kurosawa crafts a ragged mosaic of hardship, fantasy, and flickers of grace that keep people moving forward.

This is one of the few Kurosawa movies

This is one of the few Kurosawa movies which I never got around to watching. It was a really different and special visual fantasy from Kurosawa. I couldnt find the usual depth and sanity of a Kurosawa movie.....maybe because the movie was much deeper than what I could actually comprehend

This is perhaps Kurosawa’s strangest film ever, and even so it is one of the best of his I’ve ever seen. He clearly spent a lot of time writing out these characters, because he definitely had a lot to say. He also didn’t stray away from showing terrible things, I can think of a few scenes that had me go “oh wow, that’s uhhhhhh wow”. Overall, I think the best story being told in this movie was the father and son. It has a very upsetting ending, but I also really liked Ocho and the old man. Kurosawa never disappoints. 4/5 stars.

It took a long time before I got

It took a long time before I got interested in the goings on here, but eventually I did. If you stick it out I think you eventually will too.
