I watched it for 45 minutes today, and by the way, I learned about the battle between Takeda Shingen and Mikatahara. In other words, Japanese names are not easy to remember. As far as the plot is concerned, I think it's okay at the moment. I didn't understand it at the beginning. Didn't I help him find a shadow? Why are all three the same? ! Hahaha, I found out later that, in fact, the other shadow is quite similar. Also, I actually feel that there is a sense of drama in this movie. "It's not easy to suppress yourself to become another person." 1 hour and 20 minutes of viewing experience: It is normal for Takeda Katsuri to feel uncomfortable. The grandson became the heir, and after a search, Takeda Katsurai committed suicide after losing the battle. It seems that Shingen was worthy of being a man of influence in the Warring States Period. Also, how could the lady's eyebrows be like that? Is it a status symbol? Or do they simply think they look good with raised eyebrows? Add a star, because it feels like the growth of a stand-in that I like, the growth of little people. In addition, the picture is not bad, especially the soft light that comes with old movies sometimes feels so beautiful. So eager to prove yourself, Piff

Also, the final face of the Shadow Warrior is a little too pale

Summary: Compared with the photography technology at that time, it is a very good movie, and Akira Kurosawa also respects history, and the life of Oda Nobunaga's 50 years of living is not bad. 7.8 points! Oak!

    Fast as the wind, quiet as the forest, fierce as the fire, steady as the mountain! Film language, script, scheduling, cinematography, and artistry are almost textbook-level perfection. From the big to the small, from the point to the surface, the god-level control has been achieved in all aspects. The artistic attainments and the commercial elements are properly balanced, especially the colorful art (which has a great influence on Zhang Yimou), and several epic battles. Majestic and utterly tragic and shocking. Worth brushing a hundred times!

    A movie from 40 years ago, if you think about it carefully, this is 40 years! At the moment when everything is in pursuit of efficiency, it is a very unflattering and even dangerous move for the film, especially the drama, to slow down the pace and still tell a suspenseful story; but this film removes the director's reputation bonus, from film language to ideas The expression is still at the top level, especially the editing can be called a montage template, the atmosphere is not original, neat and agile; the ending is neat and tragic, and while feeling desolate, it naturally completes the transformation of consciousness from the individual to the whole. It is difficult to think about the social (political) meaning derived from the film along this thread of consciousness. This is the height of the master.

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.
