फ़ीचर्ड समीक्षाएं
Red Angel is a very interesting and strange movie which could make the staunchest warmonger into a pacifist with bloody sights that might delight Mexican/American director Robert Rodriguez. A beautiful, sensual nurse named Nishi battles the 1939 war in China and her own repulsion to its inhuman violence by making love to an amputee and falling in love with a drug-addicted doctor. Be ready for the screams of surgery with no anesthetic and the sight of saws being used to cut off limbs. A little soft core, a lot of action, enough blood to make you happy the film is in black and white. Still . . . it's always worthwhile to take a look at the world through another culture's eyes.
This film begins in 1939 with a young nurse by the name of "Nishi Sakura" (Ayako Wakao) being sent from her home in Tokyo to a mobile Army hospital in China to care for Japanese soldiers who have been seriously wounded in the war over there. Although she is quite eager to demonstrate her medical skills, she is immediately horrified at the condition of the hospital which is short on medical equipment and supplies needed for all of the dying and wounded soldiers. To suggest that it is an unpleasant environment would be an understatement-especially considering that within the first week of her reporting for duty she is forcibly raped by a soldier named "Private Sakamoto" (Jotaro Senba). Yet as traumatic as this event is for her, she still does everything she can to save his life when he returns from the front lines with injuries even worse than before. And her feelings for other wounded soldiers continues even though she is warned repeatedly not to get emotionally involved. However, it isn't until she falls in love with one of the doctors that things take a turn for the worse. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this was one of those films that was well-made but, because of the subject matter, was rather difficult to actually enjoy. To its credit, unlike so many other war movies which glorifies the battlefield action, this one showcases the harsh realities of it to great effect. Likewise, having an absolutely gorgeous actress like Ayako Wakao certainly didn't hurt either. Be that as it may, in spite of some rather disturbing scenes, I still consider this to be a very good anti-war film, and I have rated it accordingly. Above average.
A very underrated masterful piece of art. This is my kind of film. It analyses, dissect, and expose the human psyche. There is no good and bad in the film, you make up your mind about that. There is no unblemished hero character in the film; only ordinary people doing extraordinary actions in unique circumstances. The film illustrates the beauty of human heart. Even though the film is Japanese, it doesn't do what the traditional Hollywood films do in war films involving America; the film, in respect of the war issue is neutral. It uses the war as a background to the main concepts addressed by the film. However, the war aspect is not entirely neglected, rather it is dealt with from a neutral perspectives.
Coming from the point of view of the country at risk of losing the war and tinged with a sense of fatalism, this is the kind of story which could've been wall to wall misery porn if the wrong director were put in charge of it. Fortunately, its emotional register turned out to be far more oblique than I expected it would. The portrayals of the characters finding solace from their desperate situations by getting as much out of their relationships with each other as possible resonated really well with me. Though you might not be able to control your fate, the least you can do is attempt to alleviate your fears of meeting it. This aspect isn't glossed over, nor does it overshadow the depressing parts of the film. The film instead does a good job at balancing hope and despair. Even the Stockholm syndrome bits don't feel problematic since the desperation of the characters are made as clear as day.
This is the story of Nurse Sakura Nishi, who is a young army nurse sent to field hospitals in China during the Sino-Japanese war. There she sees the atrocities of war, sometimes by her own people. She has a conscience (after being raped, she reports it and that soldier Sakamoto goes back to the front. Not much later, he is wounded and she tries to save his life. It is a great scene). There are amputations at will in these makeshift hospitals at the request of Dr. Okabe, whom Nurse Nishi falls in love with. That is perfectly believable, this is a time of war. Ayako Wakao, who is a great actress, plays Nurse Nishi perfectly. Her expressions at seeing all this brutality, her reactions to it are all true to life. You can only wonder what it was like to be there, she shows you. Not for the faint of heart of course, this film is grim but very gripping. Shot in glorious black and white, it depicts the horrors of war with a little light (Nurse Nishi) for all who have experienced it. Brutal but essential.
