A sensitive film from Japan that has thankfully been buried in the past, when the depicted slums of poverty moved to other cities and countries. A kaleidoscope of small stories about the residents of a poor neighborhood, where love, infidelity, arguments, and death are found in droves. Sometimes comical, sometimes slightly sentimental, a little romantic, but above all cleverly filmed. The title of the film is a phrase used by a mentally ill young man, who dreams of being a train driver. It takes place on the outskirts of the city, with heaps of garbage and endless rows of shanties, and he believes that he has a long train of cars and a locomotive with him. Practically every character has dreams and believes in some illusion, even if they don't show it as much as that simpleton. This was Akira Kurosawa's first color film, and his fascination with color is evident as he indulges in playful color composition. For example, the viewer can see the reflection of a rainbow on the ground after the rain. As is tradition with Kurosawa, the visual composition, casting, dialogues, and camera work are all very good. Overall impression: 90%. This is one of Kurosawa's best films for me. The only traditional problem with the director is the pace - Kurosawa is simply slow...
