Ima start off by saying this was a lot more enjoyable than I thought it would be. I thought it was gonna be a really pretentious and slow paced story, but it is undoubtedly a Japanese epic trilogy rivalle by no other in the world. The daunting runtime of 3 and a half hours flew by extremely quickly, constantly developing thematic and emotional depth through Kaji's pacifistic humanism towards war. The epic’s amazing plot, acting, cinematography and depth all strike so deep leaving a profound impact on the viewer. Kobayashi is one of the best film directors at linking emotions and themes while continuing to keep the viewer engaged and intrugued. His truly modernistic style of film making allows for this film to feel still completely similar to today, leading to one of the most perfectly paced long films that I have ever watched. Can’t wait to watch the next two. One of the greatest films ever

1000/100 PERFECT STARTER TRILOGY!!!

First rewatched for the trilogy.
Ningen no Jōken I (1959) has become the greatest opening trilogy has ever created in film history!!! The film has no single flaw from the beginning until the end. The plot of the film was magnificent, it shows that even when life is hard and painful, people can still choose to love, sacrifice, and care for others. The acting performance of the characters are really real and amazing especially my GOAT Kaji played by Tatsuya Nakadai, he's perfectly written main character, literally the best character ever in fiction. The cinematography was really stunning, every shot in the film was extremely beautiful. This film is like the final upgrade of The Schindler's List (1994).

The execution scene was really insane and horrific, I was so locked in while watching that scene. Even this film is 206 minutes long, it's never got me bored at all, it's a slow pace film btw. The director of the film, Masaki Kobayashi made this film like a true masterpiece. This film is still hanging in my top 5 films OAT. What a perfect Japanese masterpiece!!!
