    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 real blockbuster in my heart

    4.5. Another masterpiece by Akira Kurosawa. In Kurosawa Akira's films, I think the backgrounds of good works are set in ancient Japan; modern ones are not good enough. It's a war movie, just like "Ran"; it still makes me emotional because I've watched another movie of the movie history. Youku's...

    The flag is in the people, the flag is dead and the people are dead

    This is Akira Kurosawa's first color film. It was just used to show the team of Takeda Shingen's Four Wind Volcano Forests. The color processing, the use of the picture, and the narrative of the story are all in place. I like the wars in it very much. The play, and the display of the shadow's inner...

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.
