    Slightly inferior to "Chaos", but still shocking. The shadow warrior, who was originally a poor civilian, was forced to steal for his livelihood. He did not belong to the war at all, just like the impact of the war itself on the world, and this was vividly interpreted by the great Tatsuya Nakadai. Akira Kurosawa's multi-layered war scenes are extremely powerful, full of supreme ritual and artistic sense, and the ending is majestic and...

    Prince believes that Kurosawa's late classics, Shadow Samurai and Ran (especially Ran), marked a dramatic shift in the director's worldview. "In the past Akira Kurosawa movies, the protagonists could always firmly control events and guide changes at will. Now, this id is just an attachment in the process of the cruel and bloody era, crushed by the gravity of history and finally returned to dust. "... The shadow warrior has two points to confirm this statement. One point is so striking and...

    Winner of Palme d'Or in Cannes in 1980. Kurosawa's control of color, light and shadow, and scheduling has reached the limit. With a fixed long shot, the dream is gorgeous and charming. It seems to be a preview of "Dream". The soundtrack is mainly composed of snare drums and creates an excellent atmosphere. A closer look at the whole film benefits from the word "side": the two war scenes avoid the reality and make full use of the space outside the painting; the fate of the shadow warrior...

    Such a movie appeared in that era when there were no special effects, and in that "small-scale" weapon fight even in Japan during the Warring States Period, and Wu Yusen ranked the Chibi of the Three Kingdoms Period as Saint Seiya, and even the names of historical characters in the play were used. Wrong, he has no integrity, just making...

    It's a good film to be convinced. It talks about personal growth and fate; it talks about separatism between princes and heroes; it talks about the strategy of warfare to govern the country; it talks about keeping static and immobility like a mountain; it talks about the bleak relationship between the shadow and the deity; it talks about the system leaving the leader The continuation and decline afterwards... 34 years ago there was such a good movie, really...

    No matter how you look at this film, it is all about calling for the soul of militarism. Wu Tian Shingen is the emperor. In the last ten minutes or so, isn't it the Kamikaze squad that showed strong slow...

    Shadows depend on people, and without people there will be no shadows. A war scene in Fenglin Mountain is very impressive. Is the colorful dream in the middle an exercise for the later...

    Fast as the wind, slow as the forest, invading as fire, motionless as the mountain

    After watching this historically selected film, I felt that I could not deeply understand its connotations, and I could not figure out the details of some characters. It is a film that needs two brushes. After three hours, to be honest, it was a bit tiring to watch. The footage given in the film is...

    It's a stupid design to have a word limit for short comments!

    Joyce said that a play or film should keep the audience meditating after it's over. The Yoshikage mentioned in the title actually has the meaning of shadow, and he betrayed. The greatness of Takeda Shingen lies not in the personal charm of the battle, but in the fact that one can obtain redemption...

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!
