Kurosawa portrays the Japanese farmers too badly, greedy, selfish, timid, lustful, cunning and tough.

When Qiuyue Kingdom was destroyed, a general, Xia Bi, fleeing with his father, met two farmers on the road and forced them to help escape. Later, a woman who bought a woman from Qiuyue Kingdom, a group of subjugated people began to flee. Catch it, the princess saw the real world and realized that the people are the most important and the second is the emperor, which is a bit of primitive democratic thinking.

Finally, he finally impressed the generals of the enemy country and turned his back to help the princess escape successfully! The peasants were still empty-handed, and they had agreed to live in peace, but when they saw the gold, they would see benefits and forget the righteousness. The peasants had limited vision and were short-sighted.

But after seeing the general and the princess in the end, the two finally realized the principle of peaceful coexistence after receiving the reward, because they finally benefited from doing something to help others, and this spirit of altruism developed in their hearts. This is a rigorously structured movie. There is no waste scene, and it is worth learning many times.

    It is hard to imagine that such a director was not taken seriously in Japan at the time and was forced to go to the Soviet Union to make a film. It is necessary to wait until the Americans like Lucas and Coppola come, and the Japanese understand that this is a master. Oh, it's really like those farmers in the movie. The father of "Star Wars".

    It seems that this film has a great influence on joss whedon's shooting of firefly? Today, when there are so many kinds of fighting, the battle between Zhenbi and Tiansuo seems very boring, but the battle of Zhenbi chasing and killing deserters on horseback is really exciting! It seems that I have never seen such a high-speed advance in a real fight on the horse. The director's personality is too imprinted with the times, and sister Jiang Liu Hulan is on the upper body in minutes

    Matakishi: Shhh.

    [He points at Princess Yuki sitting right behind them]

    Tahei: Don't worry. She's mute.

    Matakishi: She's mute but she can hear.

    Tahei: Stupid. A mute can't speak because they're deaf.

  • General Rokurota Makabe: [sees Tahei and Matashichi scrambling down the rocks, trying to escape] Hey! where are you going?

    Tahei: Boss, run! The Yamana soldiers found us! There were horses by the spring!

    General Rokurota Makabe: Idiots! I stole those.

    TaheiMatakishi: Huh?
