In form, there are "Seven Samurai" tributes to Akira Kurosawa, the swordsman protecting Wuzhuang corresponds to the samurai protecting the farmers, and there are also various reflections of human nature. But Tsui Hark wants to express more obviously. The enemy in "Seven Samurai" is just bandits, and the enemy in "Seven Swords" is the Manchu emperor who issued the "Forbidden Military Order". There are confrontations between the ruled class and the ruling class. , and there is a national dispute between Manchu and Han, so there will be "Heaven and Earth Association" (reverse Qing Dynasty and Ming Dynasty), North Korean women (North Korea was originally a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and also regarded herself as the inheritor of Chinese civilization, so there will be Houjin That is, the Bingzi Rebellion in which the Qing Dynasty invaded Korea later), and Wen Tianxiang's "Song of Righteousness" at the end of the film. In addition to the traditional chivalrous feelings, I want to express the freedom of the people and the independence of the nation! The "Prohibition of Arms" is like the "Prohibition of Iron" issued by Emperor Qin Shihuang (all civilian weapons were handed over to the state). In a sense, the anti-arms ban was the ancient version of the "Western Cowboys Anti-Gun Ban Movement". "Wu", like the "gun" of the western cowboy, is a symbol of defending freedom! Unfortunately, Tsui Hark wants to express too much, and the expression on each point is not enough.
