Chapter 458: The Human Condition
In the world, the meaning of these two words in Japan is not much different from that in China.
It's nothing more than referring to the human world, that's what it means anyway.
But sometimes, it's a little special.
For example, in the famous book "Human Disqualification", Yuki Kusano remembered that the word was always spoofed in a certain cloud suppression.
I was born as a human being, and I am sorry, but I became unborn, and I am sorry.
In fact, the phrase 'I was born as a human being, I'm sorry' is not in "Human Disqualification" at all, and this sentence was not spoken by Osamu Dazai at the beginning, but borrowed by him in other people's books.
As for why this sentence is connected?
Yuki Kusano remembers that the first line in the 2010 movie "Human Disqualification" was this.
In other words, this is the Japanese director who arranged this sentence with this movie.
However, in fact, if this word is translated in jojo style to translate the four words of human disqualification, it is quite simple.
I'm not a man anymore!
And what about "The Human Condition"?
This can't be translated as JOJO or anything, but it can be translated as 'the condition of being a human being'.
Tatsuya Nakadai is the actor of the movie "The Conditions of the World", and this movie is actually six, which can be counted as a series, and in addition to his accident, there are two Japanese actresses.
Among them, Shinzhu Sanchiyo was a famous beauty at that time, and Arima rice was the master of Shochiku.
Arima Inako is a little different, because her father is a Japanese gongdang, who was persecuted by the Japanese government, and she had a very bad childhood.
Of course, none of the three of them can compare to the film's supervision.
Masaki Kobayashi.
This overseer is a well-known socialist overseer in Japan, yes, this is the case in Japan, I like to classify people, there is Matsumoto Kiyohari's social reasoning, and Masaki Kobayashi is a social overseer.
In fact, the reason why he is said to be social is because he has made many movies that are introspective.
"The Human Condition" is one of the masterpieces.
So, what is this movie about?
Antiwar!
It is thorough, complete, and absolutely anti-war from the root.
The reason why I say this is because in the six movies here, the atrocities of Japanese **** in World War II are realistically and comprehensively displayed!
Indeed, these six films mainly tell many stories about the Northeast under the Japanese occupation at that time, including mining laborers, mass graves, and battles with the Soviet Union, basically showing the situation in the war at that time very thoroughly.
It is conceivable how much of a sensation this film caused in Japan at that time, and how many Japan only knew it through movies......
Yes, why is it called a human condition?
The name is a great irony!
It's as if you're scolding the Japanese at the time, are you qualified to be human?
Yuki Kusano hadn't seen all six of them, but he had seen at least a few of them, especially the first one, which was a must-see.
The story of the first part is that after Japan occupied the Northeast, it began to frantically plunder the resources of the Northeast, the most important of which was coal.
As a result, the Japanese method was to set up various companies, so-called corporations, to develop the mines in a superficially commercial way.
Business is just a fig leaf for the distribution of spoils, and in fact, its methods are very bad.
You have to have employees to dig coal, don't you?
Where and who are the employees?
Some were prisoners of war, and some were simply strong men who were captured casually.
The male protagonist Kaji is a man with a little naivety, and his original idea is, of course, to build Japan, because isn't this buying resources from the Northeast?
But when he arrived here, Sanguan collapsed directly.
Looking at the people who were pulled by the train, those skinny laborers, and even many of them simply died in the carriage, just this scene, Kaji couldn't bear it anymore.
He wanted to help, and he wanted the Japanese company to improve the treatment of the workers, and he did a lot of work.
But what is the result?
The two ends are not people!
The film series "The Human Condition" is really remarkable, and it is a masterpiece of Japanese anti-war cinema.
In the movie, the ugliness and extreme cruelty of the Japanese invaders were ruthlessly exposed, and there was really no reservation at all.
Of course, this movie actually represents the kind of thinking of many people at the time.
Like Masaki Kobayashi, they are really reflecting on this war.
Now, Tatsuya Nakadai has directly brought up this movie, and what is the situation now?
The whole political climate in Japan has changed, and it has changed considerably from what it used to be.
Relations between China and Japan are already very delicate, and even many right-wing voices in Japan are getting louder.
In particular, there is the issue of the deletion of textbooks.
Anyone who is not stupid can understand that this is actually going that way.
Therefore, such a film, the director of Kusano, even if he is the number one supervisor in Japan at the moment, and he is the world's famous supervisor, some people even say that he is a national hero.
But would he dare to make such a film?
Why Nakadai Tatsuya laughed and cried about this, in fact, it is here.
Seriously, the reason why this very senior and high-status veteran actor laughs is because he is so gratified.
The young man in front of him could actually understand his thoughts, and he could even think of the "Conditions of the World".
You must know that in this era, not many people know about this movie, and even the name of this movie is very rare.
Worthy of the grass overseer!
No. 1 in Japan!
It is worthy of being the world's famous overseer.
But even if he was given so many top hats, would it be useful?
Tatsuya Nakadai was actually very careful, and he even deliberately mentioned the "Demon Beast City" first, you know, this is a failed work.
Why mention this?
is telling Yuki Kusano that he Nakadai Tatsuya has not always been successful, and he also has times when he looks away, so you can not accept his proposal.
yes, it's the same idea.
The remake of "The Human Condition" is extremely likely to fail in today's Japan.
Moreover, in terms of the atmosphere of the whole society, how many people dare to shoot?
Tatsuya Nakadai burst into tears, and what he thought was that he might fail.
He even thought that what he, an old man, did today, would make the person in front of him who was in a period of rapid rise fall, and an extremely good overseer would fall?
However, the sense of justice in his heart, the many dissatisfaction with the current Japanese society, made him unable not to talk about it.
So, what about Yuki Kusano?
Supervisor Kusano, after thinking about it for a while, he was actually just recalling many of the plots in this "Human Condition".
And then.
"Nakadai-san thanks you for your offer. ”
This...
Tatsuya Nakadai was stunned at the time!
Did you just say yes?
This Kusano overseer is too powerful, isn't it?
He, he, he's really the number one overseer in Japan!
Then, though, Yuki Kusano smiled.
"However, Nakadai-san doesn't have any other ......?"
What did he mean by that?
Nakadai Tatsuya laughed, and then, he gave a heavy salute, "Please rest assured that the superintendent of Kusano, I will definitely support this movie, and even, I am an old bone, and I am willing to serve the superintendent, as long as the superintendent is called, no matter what role, of course, I can only shoot the old man now, then I, the old man, will definitely not refuse, and I can even do not need to be paid." ”
Listen, that's what people say!
Yuki Kusano's eyes narrowed, "I will never do anything without giving money, but since Nakadai-san is so sincere, please rest assured, after I finish producing "Red Cliff", I will start the work of this "Conditions of the World". ”
This is an absolute promise.
Nakadai Tatsuya, once again old tears.
"In Japan, it is a real blessing to have a famous overseer like the Kusano Governor!"
This is a bit powerful, and it even uses the name of Yuki Kusano.
But...
Seriously, Yuki Kusano is really very grateful to Tatsuya Nakadai, because of his proposal, Yuki Kusano's Oscar strategy plan has been completed!
That's right, he has absolute confidence that he will not only shoot this movie, but also make it well, and he will definitely make those Japanese right-wingers stare dryly!
