Seeing people in chaos

Why is it called a master work? Because I am very comfortable watching it, the two-hour and forty-minute feature film has no extra shots and plots. It looks long but compact. The Japanese version of King Lear is full of the core of the original and put on a Japanese cape. It is said to be chaos, in fact, everyone's motives are traceable, and the reasons for the tragedy are worth thinking about...

Yiwen Xiuhu’s mistake was just believing in the wrong son, no, he was stubborn, lacking in tactics, and flattering words. These words are okay to listen to, but if they are serious, they are dangerous. He also uses the enemy’s daughter as the enemy’s daughter after destroying the city. The daughter-in-law did not reprimand the son, and did not listen to the advice of the loyal ministers. This actor acted like a ghost after going crazy??????

Taro's mistake is that he can't hold back for a while, and he has great ambitions to flatter his father, but he immediately turned his face after he passed the throne. Jiangshan was conquered by his father. What if he regretted regrouping the army? A dying father couldn't bear him for a while, and was easily provoked by women.

Jiro did an excellent job before Saburo took action. He used the melee to kill Taro and seize three cities. Later, when Saburo attacked, he sent someone to ambush, which led to Saburo being killed directly, but the only thing he did badly The place is to start a war rashly without considering the actual situation, being manipulated by a woman, and actually ordering to kill the original spouse. He doesn't believe in his great hero Hei Shi, and even if he doesn't start a war, he will be betrayed by his subordinates sooner or later.

Then when it comes to Saburo, if he is a big fool who offends people in reality, people who are not good at heart and mind will die the easiest, he doesn't know how to please people, if he can please his father in the first place. If you have a third city, the three-way check and balance will not be so chaotic.

In addition to a writer, there are two more people to talk about. One is Mrs. Feng, who thought that her father's determination to take revenge stayed by Taro's side to provoke disputes, seduce Jiro Xiaosan to the throne, kill his original wife, Mrs. Sue, and encourage Jiro and Saburo to fight. Power is her weapon of revenge, grasping the weakness of the Yiwen family and achieving her goals, only she knows that living and dying is worth it (for herself), an independent female role model for the patriarchal clan

The other is Jiro's subordinate, Hei Shi, who killed Taro with a sniper shot, and then seriously reported that Taro was killed by someone on the pavilion. Madam, Madam Feng, who mocked her face-to-face, was bloodied. Both of these scenes made me want to laugh too much. In addition, I later dissuaded Jiro from going to war. She was a man of both wisdom and courage, loyal and courageous, and really wanted to avoid killing. My subordinate, he is sober, but unfortunately he is with the wrong master

There are also a large number of other ignorant and obedient supporting roles in the film, all of which are portrayed in that era. Not only for Japanese people, these mistakes are also made by people in different time and space with different cultural systems, because it is the weakness of human nature.

Excellent soundtrack, if it is replaced now, it will never be out of date

    Not only the "King Lear" of the East, but also Maori Yuan's deduction of the "Three Arrows". The critically acclaimed color and composition aesthetics are miraculously reproduced in the 4K restoration. The three colors of red, yellow and blue distinguish the three warlords, so that the audience can see clearly and clearly, as if they have personally controlled an epic war, which is very enjoyable. The scene of the head of "Fox Spirit" is quoted from King You of Zhou, which is serious but also relaxed. In the end, the complaint to the gods elevates the entire film structure to a new level. It is like a fateful reincarnation, and no matter how painful the present world is, it cannot restore the suffering. The blind noble children are in a dilemma on the cliff, as if the entire human civilization has evolved to the epitome of today's predicament.

    @小西天Floating cloud world affairs, light and dark world, erratic light and shadow are like changing fate, heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are dogs. The call of the king's corpse is like the sound effect of a stage play, and it is an ethereal blow. Madame Mo, who is devoted to Buddha, and Madam Feng, who is bent on revenge, both bowed their heads to the fate of a piece of paper. Crazy Ami, who is a fool for her career, and the big lord, who is a fool for her life, are at the end of the road, and the Buddha statue that shines in the dark finally falls. precipice.
