Watanabe-san did his best during his final moments, realizing the true value of life and his position as a bureaucrat—a value present in the effort to help others, even without all the necessary strength. Thank you, Kurosawa, for showing the true nature of the bureaucratic establishment and how harmful bureaucracy is to the population. Even if one or two men manage to help people through it, in the end it always swallows everything and everyone under its piles of paperwork.
