Buddha Wild Monk in the Hut provides an opportunity for a group of Thai and Sri Lankan monks, living around their temple in a country far far from home,to talk about their commitment and way of life in a typically modest Buddhist way. Anna Wilding gives the commentary in this unpretentious but original and illuminating film with a well-judged mixture of seriousness and humor which is in important contrast to the monks words. An enjoyable cinematic experience.A fascinating film" Written by Janet Taylor May 2005

1910年8月《日韩合并条约》，使得韩国成为日本领土的一部分直到二战日本战败，一直到1945年日本战败。长达35年的殖民统治，给朝鲜半岛带来了难以磨灭的痛苦，也给战后的韩日关系造成了重大影响。 　　战后的韩日关系史错综复杂，有历史清算的问题，有战争赔偿的问题，有领土争端，有战时动员的受害者问题，还有在日朝鲜人问题……，在冷战的大背景下，这些问题个个都是巨大的绊石。从某种意义上说，甚至比战后中日关系史要更为复杂。即使是70年代韩日建交以来，关于历史问题，其实始终是一个模棱两可的局面，没有一个真正的交代。NHK的这套SPECIAL，回顾了这一百年来两国关系的风风雨雨，史料殷实、内容丰富，制作精美，立场也较为客观，尤其是主持人五十岚阐述了日本历史学者在日韩关系史甚至是战后与亚洲国家关系上的思考和反思，感叹日本错过了历史清算的机遇。 　　这部佳作分为五个部分，分别为：1.伊藤博文与安重根、2.三一独立运动与亲日派、3.战时动员的受害者、4.战后的在日朝鲜人5.日韩建交之路。

Yoso is truly a lost classic, set in the Nara Era (710-794), from Kinugasa Teinosuke the same writer/director who gave us the recognized classic Gate of Hell (Jigokumon, 1952) & the milestone silent surrealist masterpiece A Page of Madness (Kurutta Ippeji, 1926). 　　Yoso means "esoteric priest" which implies "sorcerer." For such a rarely screened film, it seems to have attracted an unwieldy number of English titles: The Sorcerer, Ghostly Priest, Bronze Magician, Phantom Priest, & on the subtitled 35 mm print the only fully apropos title, Priest & Empress, not to be confused with another Raizo Ichikawa film called The Priest & the Beauty (Anchin to Kyohima, 1960). 　　Japan of the Nara Era had a sovereign female emperor or Mikado, Koken-Shotoku Tenno, who fell under the sway of a Buddhist priest named Dokyo. His influence over her proved so untoward that Empress Koken-Shotoku gave him titles which implied the imperial line might actually pass to him should the Empress die, despite that the imperial line had been preserved as a single dynasty back into prehistory. 　　The crisis engendered by Dokyo led to the banning of women ever again becoming Mikado, a decision periodically revisited including in our own generation when there stood a strong threat of no authentic male heir. 　　The film takes this historical reality & makes of it a believable though tough & very odd love story. Dokyo, who has indeed been called "the Japanese Rasputin," is here played by Raizo Ichikawa. Though Dokyo clearly uses the affections of the Empress (played by the ethereally beautiful Yukiko Fuji) for personal gain & power, his intense devotion to Shotoku is nevertheless no falsehood. When it comes time for his assassination, it is very much Rasputin-like, as he is damnably difficult to kill. It's portrayed quite horrifically but it remains simultaneously sorrowful because his love of Shotoku was no pose.

他爱她，她回避了；她希望他爱她，他轻轻的一低头——于是彼此微微的一错身。 　　 　　港町的天空光影交织，景致里残留着古典风韵的底子。雷每天拉着车子在道旁搜集铁屑，大家戏谑的称呼他为“佛”，因为他似乎是个不会悲伤和愤怒的人，即使受到街头飞仔的欺负，雷的面容也会一如既往的浮现出微笑的神情。他的兄长正好与之相反，柴风度豪迈，体格壮健，在港町的年轻一代中颇有一呼百应的气势，和镇上的小小帮派也常有来往。他们是一对微妙的兄弟。由玛是海边船员会馆的按摩师，她在童年遭遇不幸而失去视力，如今却要负担一家的生活。小时侯，由玛总是受到孩子们的歧视，在她的黑暗里，由玛哭泣着记住了柴安慰过她的话：“等由玛长大了，一定要嫁给我”。于是现在的她仍然在幻想，幻想某一天被柴领上街道，走入人群，幸福的行进。 　　 　　雷收集了许多年的铁屑，他用这些来建造一个佛像。雷似乎在默默的努力里注入了自己的灵魂，为了纪念他的生母，许多年前因为对丈夫的深深失望而走向大海，未曾归来的母亲。“你没有欺凌过弱者，可是你也没有得到过爱。”他对自己和佛像说。对人来说，这是无用的铁屑，可是当它树立起来，它便可以破坏这个已经满是污秽的世界，扫除那些无聊的人类，这就是雷的心目中铁佛的意义。 　　 　　雷悄悄的迷恋着盲女由玛，不离去也不走近。由玛以柴为爱的理想，她太渴望强者的保护。而柴则在不二子和由玛的双重世界里来来去去，激起了雷的深深不平。三个人的世界各自转动着，且看最终是谁的无奈收场，是谁的理想慢慢破灭……
