Powerful samurai movie

Watching "Miyamoto Musashi 1" in 1954, I am deeply impressed by the power of early Japanese samurai films. This film won the 28th Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. Today’s war films and samurai films, whether global or Japanese, have strong and shocking scenes, but the height of humanity excavation and the spirit of Bushido (regardless of borders) have not been qualitatively improved due to the development of computer technology. Some are even shoddy and unbearable. In particular, Chinese costume films that have been hot in recent years, such as "Warring States", "Hongmen Banquet", "Guan Yunchang" and so on, are full of "fake big sky".

Toshiro Mifune is a movie genius. He has watched many of his films, and every role he plays has been deeply rooted in my heart. Every character he portrays is very angular and full of tension. The close-up of his eyes, his gestures, and his posture of contemplation and standing have all melted into the character. His success may be because he met many good directors such as Akira Kurosawa, or because he happened to be in the golden age of Japanese cinema, and his handsome appearance is just conducive to portraying some rugged, brave and determined characters.

It is also because of his rough appearance and even a bit sloppy appearance, which is more conducive to the meticulous and warm heart of the character he plays, forming a strong contrast, making the hearts of our audiences agitated, and even more opposite to other things. The appearance of the sheep and the heart of the snake and scorpion are in contrast. Therefore, watching the samurai movie of the golden age can make the human body feel the spiritual height of the samurai even more.

    The relationship with Atong is really cruel. You said that you want to come back, you must come back~ Toshiro Mifune had a beard when he made a black and white samurai film, but he has no beard in the color film. . Still not used to it all the way down)

Samurai I: Musashi Miyamoto quotes

  • Musashi Miyamoto (Takezo): Why are you here?

    Takuan Osho: To capture you.

    [Takezo gives Takuan and Otsu a look of betrayal]

    Takuan Osho: If you surrender to a Buddhist priest, consideration shall be given to you.

    Musashi Miyamoto (Takezo): Never!

    Takuan Osho: My boy, do you think you can win?

    Musashi Miyamoto (Takezo): [stoutly] Yes.

    Takuan Osho: Are you trying to defeat yourself, too?

    Musashi Miyamoto (Takezo): I don't mind dying in a good fight. But before I die, I will have some blood!

    Takuan Osho: What about your relatives? They're prisoners on your account.

    Musashi Miyamoto (Takezo): What relatives? They all hate me!

    Takuan Osho: Some are suffering.

    Musashi Miyamoto (Takezo): Hang them all! Better off dead, all of them!

    Takuan Osho: Even the women?

    Musashi Miyamoto (Takezo): [close to tears] Quiet!

    Takuan Osho: And their children?

    Musashi Miyamoto (Takezo): I don't care! Let all of them...

    [Takezo starts sobbing. Takuan gets up, grabs him by the back of his collar with one hand and beats him with the other]

    Takuan Osho: Fool! Wild fool! I shall punish you, with the hand of your parents!

  • [Takuan leads Takezo to a stairway in Himeji castle leading to an attic, where Otsu is supposedly waiting. Takezo gives Takuan a look of verification, and sees Takuan's encouraging expression. Takezo rushes up to the attic to look for Otsu, but she's not there. Takuan shuts the door to the attic. Takezo rushes to the door and pounds on it]

    Musashi Miyamoto (Takezo): Takuan! Priest Takuan!

    Takuan Osho: She is safely sheltered near Hanada bridge.

    Musashi Miyamoto (Takezo): Damn you! You dirty lying rogue!

    [In a panic, Takezo rushes to the window. Outside there is nothing but lofty shingled roofs. He would break his neck trying to climb out. He pulls on the thick wooden window bars but they won't come loose. Takezo rushes back to the door, pounds on it and tries to pull it open]

    Musashi Miyamoto (Takezo): Open up! Open the door!

    Takuan Osho: Takezo. This room is yours for some time. Otsu will wait.

    Musashi Miyamoto (Takezo): You're lying. She's alone!

    Takuan Osho: She will wait. In those books are many of the things you need. After you master them, I will see you again. Farewell.

    [Takezo sinks to a sitting position, then collapses to the floor and cries uncontrollably]
