Recently, an international actor made it to the hot search. At the age of 67, Gong Kuo Guangsi won the Best Actor award at this year’s Cannes Film Festival for his film ‘Perfect Day’.
As one of the most powerful male actors in Japan, the representative films of Hiroshi Inoue are countless.
And in different types of movies, he can handle it with ease.
In the crime film ‘Blood of the Lone Wolf’, he is a criminal police officer wandering between black and white.
In the romantic film “Talking about Love, Dancing”, he is a simple and oppressive office worker.
The family film “Remembering My Mother” is a middle-aged writer who has been hating his mother for many years and finally reconciled.
He is a script reviewer with a serious exterior and a coquettish interior for the comedy film “University of Laughter”.
Of course, the most well-known one is the cheating man in the erotic film “Paradise Lost”.
In the field of erotic films, ‘Paradise Lost’ is a milestone work.
However, everyone is too familiar with this piece, so Uncle Yu won’t introduce it much today.
In fact, this is not the only erotic film that has been filmed by Yoshitsu Hiroshi.
Compared to the profound exploration of human nature in ‘Paradise Lost’, he also has a very quirky erotic film.
Just listen to the title, it’s very unusual.
Today, let’s talk about it – “The Warm Current Under the Red Bridge” – The Water Under the Red Bridge
The word ‘warm current’ in the title does not mean anything.
But a solid warm liquid.
However, it’s not the river water under the Red Bridge.
It’s the water in the body of the female protagonist who loves to wear red clothes, Sasaki (played by Meisha Shimizu).
This’ warm current ‘is not gentle and soothing.
But it’s surging and surging.
Especially when doing something like that, the liquid in the body spurts out.
The scene was indeed somewhat spectacular.
Of course, this alone is not enough to truly capture the word ‘curiosity’.
This characteristic in Sasaki’s body is actually a strange disease.
It is not always in a state of overflowing, but rather a process of saving.
However, when the collection is full, immediate relief is needed.
Otherwise, Sasaki would feel very painful.
Sex, of course, is the first choice.
But if there is no suitable partner, Sasaki will do something bad to relieve mental stress.
Sasaki’s warm water is still a miracle.
It can bring abundant harvests.
You didn’t hear me wrong, it’s just a literal harvest.
Whenever Sasaki is released, a warm stream flows down the room into a nearby river.
Warm currents are like bait, attracting schools of fish to swim here.
People who fish will have fruitful results.
Under such a setting, does the movie add some fantasy colors?
Don’t worry, there are more interesting things.
The relationship between male protagonist Yang Jie (played by Hiroshi Kuosu) and Sasaki is also very special.
The relationship between the two began with a treasure hunt.
Yang Jie is a sorrowful unemployed person in Tokyo, and his relationship with his wife is also on the verge of rupture.
He, who had no hope for life, was addicted to a bookstore run by a homeless man, passing the time.
In one go and two go, he became friends with the homeless man.
The homeless man once told Yang Jie a secret that he had hidden a treasure in a house.
A golden Buddha can easily be sold for one million yuan.
After the homeless man passed away, Yang Jie embarked on a treasure hunt due to his limited financial resources.
Coincidentally, that house is located under Chiqiao, which is also the home of Sasako.
Coincidentally, the first day Yang Jie met Sasaki was when her warm water overflowed.
So, in a daze, he was dragged directly into the room by the urgently released Sasuke, and began a unique activity.
Perhaps the process is too harmonious, and there is still some unfinished business.
Or perhaps it was because I understood the physiological pain of Sasaki, and I happened to be able to become a ‘good medicine’ for her treatment.
Yang Jie stayed and became a fisherman nearby.
I work normally on weekdays.
Always wait for the call of love.
How to summon?
When Sasaki needs to dispel the warm current, she will use a small mirror to reflect sunlight and give a signal to Yosuke.
Yang Jie, who receives the signal, will immediately rush away regardless of what he is currently doing.
To be honest, the erotic scenes in this movie are not as charming and confusing as imagined.
The bed scene between Yangjie and Sasaki is like a fountain performance, coupled with the distinct drum beats of BGM, which is truly somewhat comedic.
Indeed, as an erotic film, the taste of this story is a bit strange.
But it does have meaning.
Especially in movies, the “fish water romance” between Yangjie and Sasaki is always replaced by real fish playing in the water.
Coupled with the image of warm currents bringing harvest, the story is formed:
Five points of wit and vividness, five points of profound imagination.
In summary, you will not feel uncomfortable due to the quirky settings in it.
The reason why this effect can be achieved is closely related to the director of this film.
Kuo Hiroshi is a famous “Japanese Grand Guide Harvester”.
Yuwa Shizhi, Chongshi Sanchi, Masahiro Chow, Kei Kurosawa, Chuya Nakajima, Yuki Mitsuya, and Shou Hosita
We have had many collaborations with him.
Of course, it also includes the famous director of this film, Masahiro Immura.
‘Warm Current under the Red Bridge’ is actually their second collaboration.
The first time was “Eel”, which won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival in 1997.
The female lead actress is also clear and beautiful.
Although ‘Warm Current Under Red Bridge’ did not win the grand prize, it still shocked the international film industry at that time.
To explain the reason, the setting of curiosity and fantasy is certainly one of them.
But it goes far beyond that.
The worship of the power of life is a consistent theme in the films of Tomura Changping.
The nature and animals in the film are both metaphorical symbols that cannot be ignored.
Eel is a typical representative.
The depiction of female images and consciousness is also an important issue in the film of Masahiro Immura.
The Warm Current under the Red Bridge “combines the natural” water “with the female character of Sasaki.
The image of water was filled into every corner of the film by the director.
A sea with undulating waves.
There is continuous rain.
There is a quiet and steady river.
There is also the warm water of Sasaki flowing.
These waters all symbolize the reproduction of life.
The natural water attracts a variety of fish and birds to gather.
Sasaki’s water is giving Yang Jie new vitality.
What is more noteworthy is that in this film, Masahiro Immura transforms the power subject of male and female desires.
On the surface, Yang Jie’s image as a savior is helping Sasaki solve his strange illness.
In fact, Sasaki is the one who holds the initiative.
As the number of times the two have had a deep relationship increases, Yang Jie has become psychologically dependent on Sasuke.
Every time Sasaki felt relieved, he began to feel uneasy.
He was worried that Sasaki no longer needed himself and would abandon him.
I am worried that I am just a substitute because I look very similar to Sasaki’s ex boyfriend.
Yang Jie is afraid of losing.
From another perspective, Yang Jie’s fear of loss is also related to the social environment at that time.
In the 1990s, Japan’s economic foam burst, and countless ordinary people suffered a huge blow.
At the turn of the century, several public events affecting social security occurred one after another.
The entire society is shrouded in an atmosphere of panic and nothingness.
Yang Jie is no exception.
The reason why he lost his job was because the company went bankrupt.
I didn’t receive insurance benefits, couldn’t find a new job, couldn’t afford the expenses at home, and couldn’t salvage my marriage with my wife.
After divorce, Yang Jie lived like a lost dog.
And searching for the so-called treasure is just a glimmer of hope for a rotten life.
Fortunately, Sasaki appeared at this moment.
Not only did it give him a sense of ‘nourishment’ in various physiological senses, but it also gave him the desire to start a new life.
As a fisherman, Yang Jie found a survival support in the waters of nature.
As a man, I also found spiritual comfort in the warmth of Sasaki.
Yang Jie cannot tolerate the disappearance of all of this.
Originally, he, who was oppressed by life, only knew how to tolerate and compromise.
However, now he can muster up his courage and strive for his own happiness.
He expressed his love to Sasaki.
Finally, by the seaside, we fell in love with each other to the fullest.
This union was finally not driven by physiological impulses, but by the will to love and the resonance of the soul.
By using the warm current spewed out by Sasaki, I created my own rainbow.
The Warm Current under the Red Bridge “is the posthumous work of Masahiro Immura.
For many people, the “special ability” of Sasaki may be the highlight of this movie.
But the performance of Yoshitsu Hiroshi cannot be ignored.
Acting in an erotic film is crucial in arousing people’s desires. The role of an actor is crucial.
But Uncle Yu wants to tell the truth.
The objective conditions of Gongsuo Guangsi are not outstanding in the field of sexiness.
The appearance is not vulgar, but it is a bit heavy.
There is still a distance to make people “slam”.
But he exudes a mature, hazy and down-to-earth temperament all over his body.
In current terms, it is:
The atmosphere is extremely strong.
This sense of atmosphere is particularly powerful when expressing desires.
Just like the 1985 film “Dandelion” directed by Dan XIII.
The newcomer Hiroshi Kuo is a character in the film who doesn’t even have a name.
He, who is green and astringent, expresses his “appetite and color” and “great movements of his fingers” to the fullest.
The beach tramping girl picked up the oyster in her hand and let the man in white suck it.
After the oyster shell scratched the man’s lips, blood mixed with mucus flowed down, and the girl couldn’t help but go up and lick it.
It’s really exciting.
Arrived at ‘Warm Current Under the Red Bridge’.
His messy hair, rough stubble, and meticulous suit all exude a sense of restlessness.
Yang Jie brushed past Sasaki in the supermarket.
Stealing a glance at her in red, panting uncontrollably, her breathing became heavy.
In addition, the performance of Yosuo Hiroshi is very natural and realistic, without exaggeration or affectation.
So, he doesn’t give people a sense of distance.
When we watch many erotic films of male gods and goddesses, we often feel like we are watching someone else’s play.
Because of the overly exquisite appearance on the screen, there will be a detachment.
But the sense of atmosphere on the body of Gongsuo Guangsi will make it easy for the audience to immerse themselves in their own shadow.
In the movie, Sasako angrily said that Yang Jie is not his own fisherman, but a white-collar worker in the city.
Yang Jie’s impulsive expression of his emotions was like a monkey in a hurry, like a clumsy and honest ordinary person.
The most skilled role of Kusuke Hiroshi is playing a role under heavy pressure.
Just like Yoichiro in ‘Paradise Lost’.
The pressure of life and moral coercion forced this man to the edge of a cliff.
The passion that erupts under such suppressed emotions can be described as full of sexual tension.
Of course, it’s not just about sex movies.
When dealing with different types of movies, Gongsuo Guangsi has different methods of interpreting characters.
In the film “The Third Suspect” directed by Yuwa Shichi, he plays a murder suspect who makes it difficult to penetrate his heart.
In the glow of the dark night, half of his face was splattered with blood, and his complex expressions were mesmerizing but elusive.
In ‘A Better World’, he plays a former gangster who returns to society after serving 13 years in prison.
Wearing a white vest, sitting in the room, looking up at the scenery outside the window.
Standing alone in the unfamiliar new era, whether it is the edge of real life or the disordered spiritual world, there is no direction at all.
The aging expression contrasts strongly with the still vivid tattoos on the body.
Gongsuo Guangsi did not confine himself to one type.
Always integrate into the director’s style while maximizing personal charm.
A serious and mature play can be performed.
Even crazy and funny stories can come.
Including ‘Warm Current under the Red Bridge’.
Even with overly ‘unreasonable’ settings, he can still find his own shine.
Shizhi Yuhe once commented on Gongsuo Guangsi as follows:
I have read the script countless times myself, but after he finished acting, I felt like I didn’t write it. He acted with the same authenticity as a documentary.
No matter when, no matter where.
Fearless style, fearless type.
As long as you act, do your best with your heart.
Such an actor is truly a treasure in the film industry.
Finally, congratulations once again to Shizuo Guangsi.
