    Although Takeda Shingen here is incomparable with NHK's big river drama "Takeda Shingen", the tragedy and majesty in the movie are hearty, worthy of being a master's work, no wonder Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige dream of copying this artistic tension , Unfortunately, both "Hero" and "Promise" are the essence of rare...

    For Akira Kurosawa, who was at a low point in his life, the personal meaning of "Shadow Warrior" is probably far greater than that of the film medium. For such a grand epic, the film does not have the heaviness of history, and it makes people unable to sigh at the ups and downs of individual destiny engulfed in the torrent of history. The reason is that there is a lack of real "people" in the film. This probably stems from a set of contradictory relationships within the film's subject matter:...

    I didn't expect it to be very realistic. To be a good shadow, to deceive enemies, grandsons, concubines, horses, and pass every level, Nakadai Tatsuya's performance is really good, and in the end it really makes people sad. . Oda Nobunaga, who was drinking red wine and talking about Amen, was cute. Alas, "Life is fifty years in the world, and the world is in a flash. Life is nothing but a dream of Nanke, an illusion, and living beings are impermanent, and they must end in the...

    After becoming a substitute, the relationship with his son, wives, military officials, etc. can be compared with Takashi Ichiro's "Shadow Warrior", and the latter should be somewhat affected. The dream in the middle of the film is really...

    Takeda Shingen, Oda Nobunaga, Tokugawa Ieyasu, the background of the epic; three hours, the length of the epic; the military organization of Fenglin Volcano, the grand and subtle battle scenes, the scene of the epic; Takeda Shingen, Takeda Shinren (younger brother), Shadow, Takeda Katsuyuki (son), the wonderful interaction and complement of multiple shadows, the shadow's dream and the flag in the final stream are unforgettable. Exaggerated and gorgeous colors worthy of such an...

    1. The long shot of the fixed camera for nearly 8 minutes at the beginning. Xinxuan is in the middle, Xinlian is on the left, and the shadow warrior is on the right. There is only a ray of candlelight, and the shadow of Xinxuan is like the projection of the shadow warrior; Simple, but moved Takeda's guards and audience, "shadow" and "people" for the first time into one. Shadow Warrior's dream and the ultimate pursuit, shadows are inseparable from people, eager to get rid of people and have...

    Black director's film - stinky and long. The popularity of this film is entirely due to the inexplicable sense of oriental ritual that fooled the foreign devils. In addition to clarifying the plot, the choreography of performance scenes (especially war scenes) is...

    This is one of the best Kurosawa films I've ever seen. However, the character performances in all his films are so exaggerated, and the connotations are quite straightforward. The final defeat scene is too long. The color is pretty...

    This is not a movie, this is a painting, stupid and...

    The tone and plot of the story are already set in the first act, and the rest is a game of Kurosawa rhythm, music and scheduling. The most shocking is the dream of the puppet and the rainbow light on the lake. Who would realize the big dream first? I have known myself all my...

    "Shadow Warrior": tearing off the painted skin of power

    Those who steal the hook will punish, the princes who steal the country. At the beginning of the movie, the conversation scene between Takeda Shingen, Shinren brothers and Kagemusha, I thought of this sentence. The thief who resembled Xinxuan was just a thief and was about to be put to death, while...

    Human snooping and war

    The movie "Shadow Samurai" Kurosawa Akira's films always give people the taste of a philosopher, and each of his films is worth scrutinizing and appreciating. This movie is not only about the war between clans, but also about human nature. "Shadow" is what we call a stand-in, a hat brand, who is...

Kagemusha quotes

  • Masakage Yamagata: How old are you, sire? Fifty-three, as I remember.

    Shingen Takeda: Why?

    Masakage Yamagata: And you still behave like a five-year-old child. People gather, scatter, they go left and right following their interests. That is not surprising. But then I find you like this. With such a narrow mind, you must not dream of rulership. Go back to your own domain. You are a mountain monkey. You should be gathering nuts in the mountains of Kai.

  • Shingen Takeda: I am wicked, as you believe. I am a scoundrel. I banished my father and I killed my own son. I will do anything to rule this country. War is everywhere. Unless somebody unifies the nation and reigns over us, we will see more rivers of blood and more mountains of the dead.
