Many people may think that Washizu's slaughter and usurpation was due to the "prophecy" of a monster, but this is actually his desire for military power. It is difficult for anyone to say whether it was a "passionate murder" or a "long-planned plan". The old part counterattacked and quickly defeated the rebels of Akechi Mitsuhide, just like Washatsu was defeated and killed.
There are also some movie symbols in the film. For example, there is a centipede on the flag behind Washizu, and the centipede is a poison, implying that Washtsu has a wicked heart, murdered the master and usurped the throne, and did not hesitate to bleed into a river, and his wife was stillborn. The banner behind Miki is a little white rabbit, implying that Miki is simple and honest, and has no evil intentions, but rabbits are more likely to become prey.
In order to avenge the murder of his father, Miki's son took refuge in the Ganjun. The so-called "enemy of an enemy is a friend". In the film, the scene where Washatsu kills the castle lord is also interspersed with the drums of a Japanese stage play to create a tense atmosphere. Asakusa helped Washtsu to murder the castle lord, but he could not escape the condemnation of his conscience.
I have to say that director Akira Kurosawa is really great, using sports shots, panoramic shots, and rectangular compositions. Several larger panoramas show the sense of urgency that the army is under the city and the army is pressing, which can be called "Oriental Shakespeare".
