Kurosawa is a Japanese director who gives priority to one of the two action spaces represented by a single sign as synsign of the work and his personal signature. His films use distinct parts of initially long exposition followed by brutal action in "Heaven and Hell." There is a similarity between Kurosawa and Russian writer Dostoevsky ignoring the urgency of an event to answer a more pressing question. Kurosawa offers a humanist message with search for the question and elements in a situation. Kurosawa offers a masculine world, in contrast with Mizoguchi, another Japanese director whose feminine world relies on the small form. Mizoguchi distinguishes between the large that is broadened and the small lengthened forms.
