High and Low

             This movie was quite flawless. It was very
             entertaining. The plot and script were both very well
             The name High and Low is a very creative title for this
             movie. It symbolizes so many different themes and events in
             the movie. One of the main things this title symbolizes is
             the difference between Gondo and the kidnapper. Gondo lives
             up high on a hill in a big house that overlooks the
             kidnappers house down in the slums of Tokyo. The "high" in
             the title represents Gondo and his wealth and the "low"
             represents the kidnapper and his poverty. The title also
             symbolizes Gondo's financial situation. In the beginning of
             the movie we see him secretly buying enough stock to become
             the largest power in the company. This part in the movie is
             Gondo's high point. Then after Sinichi is kidnapped he is
             forced to pay the kidnapper this money he so hardly worked
             to save. He ends up selling or mortgaging almost everyhthing
             he owns. This is Gondo's low point. For the rest of the
             movie Gondo tries to get back to being a very powerful man
             like he once was. High and Low also refers to the different
             classes of society in Tokyo at the time. The high refers to
             Gondo and all the others who are part of the upper class.
             This class is made up of wealthy businessmen who make their
             money legitamently. The low class is made up of the poorer
             people who try to steal their money or who try to make their
             money some other way illegally. This is the kidnapper's
             Overall this movie was very entertaining. I liked the
             way they made the only color in the movie pink, when the
             kidnapper burned the money. This little scene in the movie
             was very interesting and well done.
