Red Beard1965

I believe this film should be seen by every medical student. Like Kurosawa's masterpiece, "Ikiru" (1952), it fearlessly regards the meanings of life, and death.

影评界有种说法，"《红胡子》乃是日本影评人评价黑泽明电影的转折点，他们认为这位曾对权威进行反抗的著名导演由此而转向了父权主义。"……值得注意的是，与黑泽明同时暗衰在整个七十年代、又同样在八零年代生涯晚期卷土重来最后辉煌的是大卫里恩。而这段时期又刚好是七十年代叱咤风云的科波拉的半衰中。所以说红胡子的争议或许只是替罪羔羊。根本原因还是作品所承载的核心价值观与时代主流意识形态思潮不符的那些导演便会被边缘出主流舞台，再伟大的导演也不允许你逆势而为。当然等到十年周期左右交替之后还会再给机会，至于能否抓住重塑辉煌则要看各自的造化和精力。

Remember when ”ER” delivered keen social critiques wrapped in satisfying drama? If you miss that medicine, you need a dose of director Akira Kurosawa’s Red Beard, a three-hour soap opera about a 19th-century Japanese clinic.
