    Less than 9 points seriously? This film is the treasure of this year's Beijing Film Festival. I sat in the worst seat in the whole film festival that I bought by accident, and got a climax on the way of watching the film. Within half a year, I met a wave of Akira Kurosawa, and I am grateful for the curation. Tatsuya Nakadai's performance was so good, I even forgot Toshiro Mifune for a moment after watching the movie. The use of color in the film is also extremely good. Although the epic sense...

    Prince and general, would you rather have a seed? The real body is not there, and a shadow is better than no one. Although the film has gotten rid of the usual obscurity, the richness of the characters has also been reduced. The last half-dead horse jumped on the ground, and the dead soldier had to stand up again and die again. How good it was originally, it would be superfluous not to shoot corpses all over the place and show a...

    The tragic and the strong set off each other, and Akira Kurosawa's perspective is very sympathetic. The sense of fate enveloped both the individual and the family. The scene is grand, but in fact, it is mainly shaped by sound and shadow, firelight, and the vision of galloping horses. The part of close combat is transformed into a more intense psychological warfare. The rhythm is also very well coordinated, and each pause point with the strong beat is designed to be very characteristic, and the...

    #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...

    An epic masterpiece only shot by Akira Kurosawa. It uses the reappearance of history to shape the characters, allowing us to glimpse the secret history of the hero Takeda Shingen. The film came out in the 1980s. The whole picture and scene are actually very Hollywood. It also sets off a tragic atmosphere. Regardless of the depth of thought, it tells a magnificent story of the Warring States...

    I don't know much about Japan's Warring States period, it's like a gang fight. The shadow's inking is still small, and several important points are directly stated by others, and the expression is not deep enough, such as the shadow's identity. I didn't like the final battle scene very much, the whole story is like this, there are no collisions, it's all a marching scene, when the gunshots sound, the camera turns again and again to win or lose, it's not shocking...

    Everyone lives under the afterglow of the lord. When it comes to portraying the characters of the shadow, I always feel that I still owe a little bit of meaning. In fact, many of Kurosawa Akira's movies will not let you interpret too much. The love and writing are in front of you, you don't feel too emotional, you don't feel the blood is not red, and you won't be silent when you should be emotional. This is also my Warring States. When the enemy dies, I also summon my soul, and when the enemy...

    3.5 Complementary standard. Different placements are not suitable for comparison. The parts are more detailed, but the overall effect is limited. The colors only provide visual contrast and impact, and the core is still framed in the dramatic...

    The face of the masked Japanese movie, the face of the shadow warrior was finally painted to be pale, and all the faces used to express anger before were painted with red lower eyelids. This method may come from Japanese stage art, which is used in many movies. Such as Twilight...

    Complementary standard. At noon, I revisited my favorite episode. Manchu civil and military respected the shadow warriors only. As a result, he turned his head and listened to the arrangement of the handyman. It was the best reflection and mockery of power. The central idea of ​​the whole film: resolutely support the Party Central Committee, and whoever supports it in the Central...

    It's the Warring States period, it's WWII

    I read a lot of comments from comrades, but no one mentioned World War II. Akira Kurosawa's generation of Japanese directors all came from World War II. For them, the defeat of Japan is something that cannot be bypassed. Akira Kurosawa thought a lot about World War II, and the answer to his...

    A family epic and a shadow

    Akira Kurosawa's "Shadow Warrior" is his 26th film. This story tells the story of a thief who was originally unknown because he resembled Takeda Shingen, the famous Jiafei daimyo in the Warring States Period. He was discovered by Shingen's younger brother Takeda Shingen during the arrest and...

Kagemusha quotes

  • Shingen Takeda: To occupy Kyoto, to fly my flags in the capital, has been my long-cherished dream. But... if something should happen to me, do not pursue that dream. Remember: my death must not be made known. Keep it a secret, for at least three years. Guard our domain. Never move from it. Do not move! If you ignore my order and set out to attack, our Takeda clan will be no more. Heed my words! This... is my final wish.

  • Masakage Yamagata: [Rainbow appears, causing the advancing Takeda army to halt] My lord, what do you think that light is that is barring your path?

    Katsuyori Takeda: [Gives it a quick glance] A rainbow.

    Masakage Yamagata: You're wrong! It is your late father's instructions not to proceed. He's telling you to stay in your domain and guard it. Those were your father's last words. If you do that, nothing can harm us.

    Katsuyori Takeda: Harm? An ominous word. Since the time of our ancestors, the Takeda have never run from a fight.

    Katsuyori Takeda: [Addressing his army] Forward!... Forward!
