    Personality: This is a life movie. In the past two years, I have been very fond of Yamada Yoji, and I know that he is best at life movies. I thought Dusk was a samurai movie or a sword and halberd movie that he made while playing tickets. After reading it, I understand, it is still a life movie! Agatha said that he is a real big director, he doesn't play with flowers, and doesn't stress much about authorship, that's right! Movies are all based on the most basic movie elements, the script is extremely solid and delicate, the casting and performance are both very advanced and not too hard, the camera editing is calm and smooth, and the performance points are controlled. The expression is not abrupt at all, because that will affect the plot. The scent is also stable! The mood is also great! In fact, all of this is still a unique and inimitable advantage of Yamada Yoji. In the past, for many movies, I didn't bother to talk about the plot. I felt that it was generally clear at a glance, and it was not particularly worth talking about in depth. But Yoji Yamada's plot is worth talking about again and again and thinking about taste. Because his own thinking is too deep, too valuable. There are a lot of narrations in this film, I didn't think it was necessary at first, but it played a big role at the end, shocking!

    Restrained emotion, restrained style, small people reflect the big era. Still love this old school movie with solid storytelling.

The Twilight Samurai quotes

  • Kayano Iguchi: Father, If I learn to do needlework someday I can make kimonos. But what good will book learning ever do me?

    Seibei Iguchi: Well, it probably won't ever be as useful as needlework. But you know, book learning gives you the power to think. However the world might change, if you have the power to think you'll always survive somehow. That's true for boys and for girls. All right?

    Kayano Iguchi: Yes.

  • Seibei Iguchi: I am ashamed to say that over many years of hardship with two daughters, a sick wife and an aged mother, I have lost the desire to wield a sword. A serious fight, the killing of a man, requires animal ferocity and calm disregard for one's own life. I have neither of those within me now. Perhaps in a month... alone with the beasts in the hills I could get them back. But tomorrow, I am afraid, is completely impossible.
