Simple and desolate, majestic, thick and gorgeous. It is second only to the Seven Samurai in the Kurosawa Akira movies I have seen so far. The disadvantage is that the story is slightly weaker and the plot is slightly simpler. In addition, unlike most people's opinions, I feel that the final battle has lowered the quality of the whole film, and no matter how well it is shot in form, it is impossible to ignore the forced reduction of intelligence + mindless delivery in the plot. Kind of a shame...

The opening long shot explains the relationship between the characters and the structure of the story. In terms of lighting, except for the protagonist who has a shadow, the other two have no shadow. The 180-minute duration is not boring at all, and it has a very deep discussion and reflection on the king and the symbol of the king. Not to mention the composition and color, I just want to take a screenshot every...

In the 1980s, Kurosawa had another golden period. He abandoned active intervention in reality and started a new writing of classical warrior heroes. The images of warriors with multiple identities formed a tension relationship with symbolic functions under the opposition of characters. Searching for self-awareness, experiencing heroic roles, and hypothetically realizing heroic complex; the spiritual illusion of the warrior class, a tragic epic of cultural...

A movie from 40 years ago, if you think about it carefully, this is 40 years! At the moment when everything is in pursuit of efficiency, it is a very unflattering and even dangerous move for the film, especially the drama, to slow down the pace and still tell a suspenseful story; but this film removes the director's reputation bonus, from film language to ideas The expression is still at the top level, especially the editing can be called a montage template, the atmosphere is not original, neat...

Read it again. If there is a samurai genre [I doubt it]. I think this film is most qualified to be called a samurai film among the four or five hundred period drama films I have seen. But she's also a very special samurai movie. It is the most profound and most objective and objective evaluation of the value of the samurai family, but it also dedicates all the director's personal feelings and all his knowledge of samurai to the work. It is no exaggeration to say that the shadow warrior is Akira...

"Looking at Ronghua is as fast as the blink of an eye, and even faster as a dream of Nanke." Or even more tragic is that in the process of acting, the ego disappears. When the play ends, the meaning of the actor disappears, and he is thrown out of the door like a lost dog. It is not only a great turn of events in identity, but also the meaning of "I" is lost, just like Henry IV of Pirandello, who is playing the role of "I". In the process, subjectivity no longer exists, the body is just a...

epic level. When the shadow loses its identity and regards itself as its identity, then tragedy is bound to happen. At the end of the film, there is a 260-second battlefield description, which is not superfluous at all, and the scene is unparalleled! The control of the whole movie is of the same master level. Compared with Chaos, it may have a certain historical basis so that it feels much better in all aspects (I watched Chaos first so that I had a preconceived impression. Following the...

In 1980 it was quite a blockbuster. But honestly, looking back at this history, the people of Oda Nobunaga, Takeda Shingen, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who were touted by the Japanese to the sky, were nothing more than this. With Japan's top Toyotomi Hideyoshi personally conquering Korea, the opponent is only the Ming Dynasty on the eve of its decline, and he is in charge of Wanli, which is not a dynasty....

It is definitely the best in Kurosawa Akira's films. The first color film brought the master's composition, lighting, color and lens into full play. Every frame is a painting, and the story is much more interesting than a dream. And Tatsuya Nakadai didn't lose Mifune's performance at all...OMG language can no longer describe my admiration for Master...
