Shadow Warrior

"Shadow Warrior" was released last year, and "Shadow" directed by Zhang Yimou is said to be a tribute to the film directed by Akira Kurosawa. The so-called tribute is nothing more than the plagiarism and imitation of the concept, which is disappointing after all. Like Akira Kurosawa's "Seven Samurai", the 2016 American movie "The Seven Dragons of Bravery", made by a black director, invited the big star Danze Washington, a live Western film, copied a story roughly, and made it well. It is not...

puppet life

When the shadow warrior was wiped out, he stepped on the corpse alone and rushed to the enemy. In the end, his blood-stained body floated on the sea, ending this humorous and cruel story.

Takeda Shingen, the head of the Three Heroes in the Warring States Period of Japan, is known as the "Tiger of Jiafei". His creed is "as fast as the wind, as gentle as the forest, aggressive as fire, immobile as a mountain", that is, "wind forest and volcano". When Takeda Shingen besieged the Tokugawa...

Life is like a rainbow on the sand

"Shadow Warrior" has two lines, the bright one and the dark one. The bright person's stand-in is more like Xinxuan himself after military parades, sacrifices to gods, return to the palace, business meetings, and expeditions. The Dark One is a battle of three shadows, namely, the substitute, his son Katsurai who lives in the shadow of Shingen, and the bigger shadow of the "mountain" who is feared by Tokugawa Ieyasu and Oda Nobunaga. The turning point of the former appeared in the Pendant of...

letter

From a mere thief, to becoming a shadow warrior, and finally dying for the deity, this film is not about war, but about loyalty.

As the core of Bushido spirit, loyalty is what this film has been showing.

When Shingen died, the loyal ministers did everything in their power to maintain the Takeda family and abide by the last wishes of the lord, while Nobunaga and Katsuze on the other side were...

There's nothing special about the narrative, it's straightforward. The colors are extremely splendid, the performance is exaggerated but very aura, and the costumes and props are carefully crafted. After all, it's because I like to watch costume...

Fast as the wind, soft as the forest, fierce as fire, immobile as the mountain... Akira Kurosawa's perfect scene scheduling, calm and atmospheric photography and composition, free use of various colors, and individual experiences to reflect the changes of the times, not only will The subtle changes in the characters' psychology are vividly expressed, and even the war scenes are quite spectacular... The slow motion at the end expresses the tragic and desolate characters of the characters...

Majestic, majestic mountains and rivers! There is no lack of humor under the tragic, and humanity is more visible outside the war. Music has a tendency to overwhelm guests, as if the soul of the string is reluctant to leave for a long time. Despite the grand strategy and deliberateness at the end, the film can be famous in film history only by the description of that gorgeous...

No wonder Mr. Hashimoto, who is also a screenwriter, has a low evaluation. Emperor Kurosawa is old and the rhythm is a bit slow. Although it is still very high in all aspects, the sense of ceremony is too strong, and Mr. Shimura, the imperial general, still appears. I'm moved.... Also this film must be on the big screen, I watched it at Tai Kwun Sai Cube the night...

Flowers in the moon and mirror in the water, Nanke, a dreamland, a life with bounds, and a nouveau riche looking up to you to play you, you are my meaning, your war, my proposition is very good, the ending is still like a mountain, I will protect who cares Is it worth...
