In fact, there are still some unreasonable things in the Japanese adaptation of Shakespeare's plays. First, during the Warring States Period in Japan, it was very common for the old family supervisor to retire/monk out and let his son succeed the family supervisor. Basically, the old family supervisor was equivalent to the chairman, and the new family supervisor was equivalent to the CEO. The transfer of power was very smooth. state of seizure of power. Second, both Dalang and Saburo died of gunshots. However, the iron cannons in Japan during the Warring States period were basically inaccurate. They had to approach as close as possible, and shoot with several iron cannons at the same time, in order to barely ensure a high hit rate (and It is only a hit, not an instant death, although once hit, it is difficult to cure with the medical conditions at the time, and the mortality rate is higher). The odds of both being killed by one shot are extremely low.

The epic war scene scheduling that is enough to be recorded in the history of film, Fu Hua Dao's art is already the ultimate. The tragic core adapted from Shakespeare's play "King Lear" captures the oriental charm, with perfect balance in all aspects. It is not easy for Kurosawa to have such a masterpiece in the late period.
