What survived this time is warmth and hope

A ballad performed at the folk fire festival gave the princess insight, and a monologue that the princess sent out before the disaster raised the realm of the whole film.

It was a folk song like the Chinese Book of Songs: human life burns with fire. The life of the worm was thrown into the fire. The more I think about it, the more I feel that this is a dark world. Floating like a dream, go crazy.

When the general Zhenbi pleaded guilty for not protecting the princess, the princess was contented and joyful: "No, Zhenbi, I am very happy. It is hard to enjoy the happiness palace these days. I saw the real world and saw it with my own eyes. To the beauty and ugliness of the world, thank you, I die without regrets." I

can definitely believe that I have seen the real world and I can die without regrets.

In the end, the princess, the general, the servant wife, and the defiant generals did not die, the fire of the restoration was preserved, and the corresponding kindness, loyalty, and beauty also survived. This result retains some warmth and hope, unlike Kurosawa Akira's other "The bad sleep well" (The bad sleep well), which gives people a dark and repressive result: justice is not done, evil and corruption dominate. The world.

    The image of the poor is nothing to brag about. The second half of the movie makes me want to sleep. 2.5
