Another masterpiece from Akira Kurosawa, which will definitely grant you an unforgettable experience and bulk of emotions and thoughts. I have never written a review for the movie before; however, truly 'Red Beard' needs to be reviewed for a couple of reasons.
It can be seen that Kurosawa continued to promote humanism through his works. He puts a great effort to change the world by making it more peaceful and kind. In this case, we have two main characters Dr. Kyojô Niide, or Red Beard and Dr. Noboru Yasumoto, young intern who will be under Red Beards' supervision. RB's glance is very impressive. The idea that the bigger issue comes from the poverty and our souls, and that mostly these lead to admission to hospital and negative influence on our physical body. What about Yasumoto, Yûzô Kayama has excellently shown the evolution of a character from egoistic intern to the experienced and highly moral Doctor. Likewise, other secondary actors beautifully portrayed a folk who live in poverty. Besides, all the stories covered until the end are really making you contemplative.
The moment when RB is fighting with men from the whorehouse and episode when he is giving medicine to the young girl whom they have taken from that despicable place is extremely spectacular method to show the balance between what is wrong and right. Notwithstanding, through the entire film we see what it means to be a real man. Huge thanks to Toshirô Mifune, who has done a splendid job, as in other movies too. Additionally, I will never forget the way he is waving his beard. It should be one of the best moments captured from this gracious, simple, but life film. If you want to watch Japanese classic movies, first, you should go through all the Kurosawa & Mifune movies combination, because there is a magnificent chemistry that makes their film so attractive and engaging. By the way, it is the last time when Mifune is acting in Kurosawa's movie.
The major misconception here is that it is not regarded as a top five movie produced by Kurosawa or maybe of the entire Eastern classic.
Lastly, this mastery is the product of brilliant acting, verified directory and good cinematography. Recommend you to watch and probably it will change you and the way you see this world.
