      The Interweaving of Humanity and Ambition in "Chaos"

      Akira Kurosawa's film Whether it is a natural background or a social background, is super strong. Including the carving of two larger war scenes in this film, when Erlang captured the third city for the first time, corpses were scattered everywhere, and the blood red and armor red were integrated into one, not only the visual experience but also when Erlang used the siege to murder Taro, the irony of cannibalism. The second time, Erlang was surrounded by Fujimaki and Ayabe, and the other two...

      Chaos: Seemingly order will eventually return to chaos

      After watching it for nearly three hours, I intuitively felt that it was a messy and very "real" film. I watched a lot of computer special effects, and the momentum of this kind of real guns and live ammunition was inexplicably moved. In the war movie I entered, I was deeply impressed that the father and the king slowly walked down from the tower, and crossed the living beings who died in the war for the sake of brothers with no positive meaning in the smoke of gunpowder....

      The real "chaos", but also the real chaos

      In fact, how beautiful is it? It's beautiful, I can't talk about it, a few shots, beautiful mountains and clear water, white clouds surging, that's all, it's just a plot directed by Akira Kurosawa, it won't give people a dream, this is a statement The truth is, no matter how bloody the ending is, it is real instead of giving you what you expected, Japanese culture, dress show, aesthetics, and language. A man with a big bald pigtail and pigtails is pouting forward, how can...

      human chaos

      Chaos, chaos everywhere. Just like the title of the movie, the biggest feeling the movie gave me was chaos. The chaos of the world situation, the chaos of Gangchang, the chaos of human nature. The story of this film is a very common story during the Warring States Period in Japan, that is to say, this story can also be regarded as a microcosm of the Warring States Period in Japan. There are many cases where brothers fight against each other, and fathers and sons break up. Power is what they...

      Akira Kurosawa brought the art of film into the house, becoming a new type of art that can rival the old art category. This film is the representative work of many masterpieces in the later period. I personally think that it can't match "Shadow Warrior" in terms of its originality, but it is better than having universal values ​​and common human nature propositions that can be applied...

      Don't think too much of your brother, for your own interests, for power and desire, you may turn your face at any time. As the saying goes, you know horsepower from a distance, and you can see people's hearts over time. When everything was in the light of day, the old master realized that it was too late. He also caused the only son who loved him to die in victory. He conquered a large area of ​​the country, but because of his wrong decision, his family was separated, the country perished, and...

      In addition to the innate family relationship between Xiuhu and his sons, there is also a relationship between monarchs and ministers determined by acquired identity. When the latter relationship is replaced, the first theme of the film is revealed: politics destroys humanity, and power erases humanity. Almost all the main characters in the film have shown stupidity or paranoia. Ahmad's side lines are small but extend the plot space. The choice of the topic lines, object symbols and ending...

    Background creation

    To shoot the war scenes in the film, Akira Kurosawa dispatched 1,400 performances, 200 horses, and 1,400 armor sets. The armor was designed by Akira Kurosawa himself. The horses were also lavishly transported from the United States to Japan for shooting. Hundreds of exquisite costumes, all handmade, took nearly two years to complete.

    Evaluation action

    The story of "Chaos" is derived from the drama of Shakespeare's "King Lear" and the story of the Japanese military commander Motoori Mori during the Warring States Period. The film’s discussion and expression of human life is accomplished through grand and cohesive scenes. Kurosawa uses many large scenes and long shots to let the world’s disputes, the disintegration of people’s hearts, and the unknowability of personal fate, staring at...
