Idealism meets reality

Randi 2022-04-24 07:01:25

I'm not a professional film person, and I'm too embarrassed to give a long speech. Watching the full movie makes me feel that in the face of social development, any individual or any doctrine is insignificant, and no matter how powerful a samurai sword is, it can't resist a musket cannon.

However, the inheritance of spirit is not the same as the replacement of realism. If a spirit is inspiring, then it will be passed down. In reflection on these things, I also feel more and more about some things, ordinary people The spirit that is willing to promote and spread is often true, good and beautiful, and once politics is added to it, it is extremely ugly.

Qingbingwei's life is actually beautiful, he insisted on his ideals, and there is a beauty like Miyazawa Rie who loves him, this is also the beautiful vision of many people, but the persistence of ideals is often just the general routine of the ruling class, Qingbingwei should really join the Meiji Restoration. His thinking is advanced, but he can't join because he is also loyal, so contradictory, isn't this the same as everyone in reality? Everyone wants to do their best to fight, but they are afraid that they will lose all their money and will not be able to pay their social security, so they have been enduring stupid leaders and stupid companies. In fact, it is really unnecessary. You have to work hard, because the days of hard work are not necessarily lower than the days of work, right, haha!

    Adapted from Fujisawa Shuhei's two novels "Twilight Qingbingwei" and "Beggars Sukeba", the characters are from the former one, and the plot is from the latter one. With the perspective of my daughter and the background of the big era, it can be read as Yoji Yamada's eulogy for traditional Japanese and Shochiku family dramas. As expected of a director who has filmed the suffering of men, it is perfect for Fujisawa Shuhei. . The interiors were kept extremely dark to match the natural lighting throughout the film. Sports shots are intentional

    43 minutes before the first duel, it was full of literary dramas, but it was so beautiful. A samurai, once a swordsman teacher, lost his wife, his mother was demented, and he had two daughters. Because of poverty, he sold his ancestral sword and secretly replaced it with a bamboo sword. Wearing it, inserting the small sword that he is good at is sealed with a stick, and matching such a knife that cannot be pulled out every day, he once dared not marry the person he loves. He was neither humble nor arrogant in the face of a hard life, so much so that he hesitated like a peasant when he really wanted to be ordered by his boss to kill another samurai.

The Twilight Samurai quotes

  • Ito: With a sick wife, two young daughters and an aged mother in his care, my father was unable to drink with his colleagues. He had to hurry home every evening at dusk. I was told the men he worked with gave him the cruel nickname of 'Twilight Seibei'.

  • 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.
