Dodesukaden (1970) [Movie]
どですかでん
director: 黑泽明 actor: 头师佳孝 / 菅井琴 …
other title: 电车狂 / どですかでん …
这是一个市井的故事，发生在任何发展中国家高楼大厦的背面；这是普罗大众真实的社会，在主流媒体有意无意的忽略中。
影片片名出自电影主人公的口头禅（Dodes'ka-den），一种模仿电车行走的声音。在人的世界里总要发出一点声音指证你的存在。
在隆隆的电车声中，我们看见你的笑容，智障的小六，安详而自得。
来来往往的电车一天又一天，时序的轮回中，普罗大众的每一天都是相同的，无奈而无助，在个体无法抗衡运命的那刻。小六的智障何尝不是一种幸福。
对于市井中的芸芸众生，活着，有时只是一口气，他们的每一天都为着生计和饭钵忙碌，沉重而又无望。在这点上而言，智障的小六何尝不是一种幸福。
存在的世界，思考的人因为思考招致的烦忧还少吗？
小六的家母吟诵着经文，一旁的小六合十拜佛，祈祷佛佑其母，此一细节说明了小六的善良和乐观，活在无奈中的底层人民，学习些阿Q精神或者更能面对凄苦的生存状态吧！智障的人和清醒的人，到底哪一种人更幸福？！
两个人的祈佛声越来越响，在无法改观境遇的存在中，留下一个希望总比没有希望好。
智障的小六以为自己是个电车司机，每一天准时在贫民窟的垃圾场边风雨无阻开着子虚乌有的电车，这就是母子每天的生活，噙泪的母亲总是呆呆望着沉浸在另一个世界中的孩子，母亲的辛酸只有母亲一人独存。
这样一个题材，黑泽明却用小六家那堵色彩艳丽画满电车的墙，表述着心念中对美好世界的希望，那些天真的蜡笔画是生命在灰暗中对亮色的一种期待，一种积极的人生态度。整个画满淫浸着导演的热忱和理想…
车，是向前的载体；车，是动力的投射；一个未来的念想。
