Akira Kurosawa's Samurai View

Hillary 2022-11-10 00:03:07

In the eyes of Akira Kurosawa, samurai is a group of parasites who eat corpses. Therefore, his royal samurai, Toshiro Mifune, is undoubtedly a typical samurai who is anti-samurai. Although this is not the real history, this is the image in Kuro Zeming's mind. The seven samurai and the heart stick are the same. Chivalry is the prevailing principle in the world, and it still applies even today.
And the wonderful detours of this film are even better than the majestic atmosphere of the Seven Samurai, allowing the audience to truly enjoy the story of Akira Kurosawa. The Seven Samurai is the pinnacle that cannot be copied, and the heart stick is a model for later generations to follow. It happened in the western United States, and it is not uncommon for it to happen in China. Even the details can be copied. That's the great thing about this script. When Akira Kurosawa and the screenwriter thought hard, a man's fairy tale was born.
There is nothing to say, I don't want to comment on any camera language, director's technique, innovation and other academic theories. Because the director doesn't think about that when he's filming, it's all intuition and genius.
Tribute to genius.
