The calm and philosophical thinking of "Rashomon", the thick and heroic "Seven Samurai", the treacherous and speculative "Spider's Nest City", the ridicule and irony of "The Three Little Men in the Dark Castle"... What can shock me is the chivalry of "Intentional Stick"!
This movie gave me for the first time on the screen what it means to be chivalrous in the true sense. This kind of feeling and experience of chivalry does not come from Jin Yong's martial arts novels, but from a Japanese samurai movie. As a Chinese, I feel a bit embarrassed, but it is very real and unavoidable. The highest realm of the heroes in Jin Yong's novels: the hero of the hero - for the country and the people, although it is morally impeccable, it must be said that it is still a bit false. Even if Xiao Feng and Guo Jing are used as a model to interpret its meaning, it is still I feel that the martial arts novels themselves, whether the plot or the characters are too fictional and exaggerated, are illusory and unreal, and they are more or less unrealistic in terms of real human nature. "Intentional Stick" is not the case. All the details of the construction can almost completely make people believe that it really happened. The real power (even if it is artificial, see the power in the details) is always greater than the illusion of nothingness. "For the country and the people", in the reality of China, the greatest possibility is that it can only become a slogan and a moral call, and Tsubaki Sanjiro, who has almost never put his family and country in his mouth, relies on his own strength ( Wisdom, strategy, courage, self-sacrifice), completely eradicated the two major black power families in a small town, and brought peace and quiet to this town, even if it will not last long, only this kind of manpower is possible to achieve Acts of righteousness can make people truly admire the chivalrous person and yearn for the chivalrous spirit!
Digression: But its sequel, "Junior Tsubaki", is a lot inferior to "Bang with Heart". Another discovery from this is that Master Kurosawa is very unsuitable for shooting sequels to the audience and the market. The early "Tsushiro Sequel" is an example, and "Tsubaki Sanshiro" is another example.
