    Sure enough, the big screen is the right way to open this masterpiece. The sound of gunshots outside Noda Castle, the sound of water in the mist of Lake Suwa, the waves of the main formation, and the corpses after the charge of Changju are all oriental simplicity aesthetics. One fat and one thin sweep of the floor is reminiscent of the Legend of Heroes of the Warring States Period, as well as various small interests. From the Seven Samurai to the Shadow Warriors, the Bushido defined by Akira...

    Rewatch. The opening narration is very sharp, but the whole is still fatal: the character as the protagonist is too passive, and it is extremely difficult for the audience to identify and empathize with him; in terms of the plot, the passive leads to the dislocation and lack of the core, the structure loses cohesion, and the expression is therefore dislocated. Visually, there are thick ink and color everywhere, showing Lao Hei's painting talent vividly. In a sense, Lao Hei is not making movies...

    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...

    I have seen this big film since I was a child. Every time I watch it, my impression is different, but every time I watch it, I also gain a lot. Compared with "Shadow Warrior", "Ran" has been greatly upgraded in the grand scenes and cruel atmosphere of war, but "Shadow Warrior" also has amazing visual effects and detailed settings. Akira Kurosawa's love for Van Gogh has a straightforward, even naked expression in "Dream". And Van Gogh also absorbed wildly from Japanese prints and incorporated...

    There is a passage in the movie that I like very much: grandson asks grandpa why are you called a mountain? The attendant responded to the lord's banner, which read "Fast as the wind, gentle as the forest, plundering like fire, immovable like a mountain. The lord is the mountain. In war, he is in command. In Taiping, he will stand like a mountain in the house." Kurosawa is very Love the use of contrasting bright colors in movies. Zhang Yimou's film style is deeply influenced by Akira Kurosawa....

    Four and a half stars. . The first scene is the master's handwriting, a dialogue between a real body and two shadows. In addition to feeling a little verbose, the whole film feels like an epic masterpiece. Compared with the film, there will be a kind of experience. The shadow is more like showing some symbols and wonders. The shadow warrior is to show the culture and...

    the mountain moved

    The 1970s was the trough of Akira Kurosawa, and he stopped cooperating with Toshiro Mifune, and was rejected by "Tiger! Tiger! Tiger! "The crew was fired (the scene where Yamamoto took over at the beginning of the film was written by Akira Kurosawa). The film that went to the Soviet Union was...

    Immovable

    Immovable as a mountain

    Kurosawa Akira's "Shadow Warrior" is the most beautiful movie I have seen in the first half of this year, leaving me with four words: Immovable as a mountain.
    Surge like the wind, Xu Rulin, aggression like fire, immobile like a mountain. This is Takeda Shingen's military...

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!
