A little bit of garbage

It is a good film and a good historical film. It often emphasizes the combination of personal destiny and sense of history. This film made me see more symbolic traces. A dying pariah made a samurai save his life. Takeda One of Xinxuan's last words, the power is so great that the image of the "Japanese God of War" is established, and the sudden collapse is at a loss. The shadow just imitates the presence of "moving", which can make its followers cry, but the shadow is really satisfied with this kind of greatness. Is it the spokesperson of the other person? Of course he experienced self-alienation, but this alienation was successful. Shadow completely surrendered his subjectivity, symbolizing himself again and thinking that he was already the dead Su Sheng. This is in the last scene. The shadow warriors who were dyed red, blue, and green only collapsed after the demise of their own people. It is worth noting that this symbolization is not on the battlefield, but the subtle completion of sharing the family with Sun. This reveals that Human transcendental subjectivity, the structure of human will is constructed entirely through intersubjectivity, and all identities are given by the experience of the symbolic system. The alienation of human beings is also a construct.

    It's a good film to be convinced. It talks about personal growth and fate; it talks about separatism between princes and heroes; it talks about the strategy of warfare to govern the country; it talks about keeping static and immobility like a mountain; it talks about the bleak relationship between the shadow and the deity; it talks about the system leaving the leader The continuation and decline afterwards... 34 years ago there was such a good movie, really awesome!

    The shortcomings of Akira Kurosawa's works are that they are not good at expressing the motif with appropriate length, and the setting of actors and costume scenes is too exaggerated and dramatic. This film has a wonderful introduction, but the newer script involves less related plots such as the succession of the throne. The lengthy war scenes have never been directly rushed, and there is also a "Rashomon"-like contrived ending. A family that is doomed to decline cannot be preserved by a personality that cannot be forcibly preserved.

Kagemusha quotes

  • Shingen Takeda: I am wicked, as you believe. I am a scoundrel. I banished my father and I killed my own son. I will do anything to rule this country. War is everywhere. Unless somebody unifies the nation and reigns over us, we will see more rivers of blood and more mountains of the dead.

  • Nobukado Takeda: I know it is difficult. I was for a long time the lord's double. It was torture. It is not easy to suppress yourself to become another. Often I wanted to be myself and free. But now I think this was selfish of me. The shadow of a man can never desert that man. I was my brother's shadow. Now that I have lost him, it is as though I am nothing.
