I have heard that Akira Kurosawa looked down on color movies in his early years, and felt that the garish colors on the screen would attract the audience away from the true essence of the movie, but in the end it was nothing but grandstanding. But then I tried it and found that it was really...

From a mere thief, to becoming a shadow warrior, and finally dying for the deity, this film is not about war, but about loyalty.

As the core of Bushido spirit, loyalty is what this film has been showing.

When Shingen died, the loyal ministers did everything in their power to maintain the Takeda...

The shortcomings of Akira Kurosawa's works are that they are not good at expressing the motif with appropriate length, and the setting of actors and costume scenes is too exaggerated and dramatic. This film has a wonderful introduction, but the newer script involves less related plots such as the succession of the throne. The lengthy war scenes have never been directly rushed, and there is also a "Rashomon"-like contrived ending. A family that is doomed to decline cannot be preserved by a personality that cannot be forcibly preserved.

#Northern Film FestivalRewatch# 1. In the battle scene on Shileyuan, thousands of war horses fell to the ground at the same time amid the sound of gunfire. It was indeed a very majestic scene, but at the same time it was also a difficult scene to film. Akira Kurosawa came up with a solution: each of the cavalrymen took a shot of anesthesia and gave the horse an injection at the same time. In this way, the horses fell to the ground one after another. The previous picture is of fire and guns being released in unison, and the next picture is of horses falling to the ground in unison, which has an excellent visual effect. 2. "Shadow Warrior" is modern, social, meditative, tragic, and epic. Akira Kurosawa pays attention to the suffering of the bottom people and the doubts of intellectuals. His aesthetic art also enriched the visual effects of the film, with hallucinatory splendid romance and clear realism, bringing him closer to the painter Goya. He allows us to feel the intense climatic elements, the torrential rain, the hot summer, the thick fog and the swarms of miserable people almost up close, without pretending to be somber or sentimental.
