Plot


A young girl named Ine from a poor village family wants nothing more than to own a horse. Her family soon takes in a pregnant mare which they have signed on to care for over the winter. Financial troubles push the family towards the edge of ruin and neither they nor the horse have much to eat. The horse becomes very ill and the vet determines only grass will save it. Ine walks many miles through the snow to a hot spring where grass grows year-round and saves the horse's life. That spring gives birth to a colt and it looks as if Ine will finally have her horse. But when the colt is grown, the government orders it auctioned and sold to the army, as unpaid bills force the family to sell the colt. Ine takes a job in a mill to save money to buy her horse back. On the day of the auction, she is outbid and cries as the horse is led away for the last time.


Cast



Production


Akira Kurosawa is credited as the film's production coordinator, which is equivalent to first assistant director.[citation needed] It is the last film Kurosawa was to work on as an assistant before starting his own directing career.[citation needed] The film took three years to plan and a year to film.[citation needed] Yamamoto later stated in an interview that his then-assistant Kurosawa "took responsibility for second unit work" while Yamamoto worked on a musical comedy in Tokyo.[2] Kurosawa wrote in his autobiography that he, in addition to his position as first assistant and second unit director, co-scripted and edited the film.[3] The final shot of Uma has been compared to the final shot of Kurosawa's second feature, The Most Beautiful, which also emphasizes the personal sacrifice of a young woman during wartime.[4]

[ru] Лошадь (фильм, 1941)

«Лошадь» (яп. 馬 ума англ. Horse) — японский чёрно-белый фильм-драма, поставленный режиссёром Кадзиро Ямамото в 1941 году. «Лошадь» — это поэтический рассказ о сельских жителях, а также о циклическом характере жизни, выражающемся в смене времен года. Часть фильма снята под руководством Акиры Куросавы. Это последний из пяти фильмов Кадзиро Ямамото, на которых у него стажировался Куросава, после этого проекта он перейдёт к самостоятельным постановкам, дебютировав в режиссуре в 1943 году фильмом «Гений дзюдо». Картина была снята по заказу Имперской армии, и поэтому считается как патриотический фильм, в конце которого жеребёнок, выращенный бедной крестьянкой, становится армейской лошадью.
