A life of warmth and poverty

Zhang Ailing saw the pumpkin being cooked at the door of the Xiaofanpu, and felt that the hot melon smell and the "illuminating" red gave people a feeling of "warm old and poor". The film "Twilight Qingbingwei" also gave me the same feeling. Eating a bowl of Anle tea and rice can live a life of warmth and poverty.

It is Yamada Yoji's consistent style to prefer small characters and small roles. The samurai under his lens have no sense of historical burden, no bloody killing scenes, samurai are also people who have to live. Especially the low-level samurai, in addition to the title of social status, remove the weapon that is regarded as life, and have to integrate into the trivial daily life. When you are poor, you have to worry about the firewood, rice, oil and salt; when you are frustrated in love, you have to worry about Xiao Sorrow.

Small people are often the most genuine. Although the life of Qingbingwei was down and out, he took it calmly. After completing the mediocre work in the treasury every day, he rushed home at dusk. At this time, it was the quiet twilight of "the setting sun shines on the ruins, and the cattle and sheep return to the poor alleys". Japanese Bushido is deeply influenced by Zen Buddhism, and it focuses on breaking the "external attachment" and keeping the mind quiet. His friend Iinuma persuaded Qingbingwei that he should not be buried in this rural land, but he had a look of no desire and no desire, and said with a smile that he should be a farmer.

But there is no guarantee that there will be no accidents in the world, Miss Pengjiang is this accident. Accidents always follow, and Kiyobei ​​is tasked with killing the rebellious samurai. When life and death hang on the line, it is also the most frank moment of the soul. He put aside his concerns, expressed his thoughts to Pengjiang and entrusted the orphan. Unfortunately, fate has fooled people, Pengjiang has already agreed to someone else's proposal. Qingbingwei went to fight with an empty and lost heart, which made people feel worried. The duel scene was filmed very well, and there were no ruthless swords and swords, but it made people's heartstrings tense everywhere. The heart of benevolence and righteousness of Bushido is also fully reflected in Qingbingwei once again.

It was another evening when the sun was setting, and Qingbingwei returned home safe and sound, and returned with the beauty in his arms. However, how can such a true warrior survive in troubled times? Three years later, Qing Bingwei was killed. This ending seems a bit cruel but it is extraordinarily real.

    The samurai sword and halberd, a "very strong" type. No matter how you lay it with low-level grass roots, you are destined to be unable to circumvent this hurdle of top experts. Otherwise, you will be hacked to death in less than half of the performance. Under this premise, you can let him be a good husband, a good father, and a good neighbor at the same time... This role will be full, and if it overflows, he will go to Zhuge. Top experts, if they want to be right, need to balance with odds (with the heart stick) or incompleteness (Zatoichi) or even both (Tange Zuoshan). Otherwise, plunge into the darkness (Da Bodhisattva Ridge). Three and a half.

The Twilight Samurai quotes

  • Seibei Iguchi: I am ashamed to say that over many years of hardship with two daughters, a sick wife and an aged mother, I have lost the desire to wield a sword. A serious fight, the killing of a man, requires animal ferocity and calm disregard for one's own life. I have neither of those within me now. Perhaps in a month... alone with the beasts in the hills I could get them back. But tomorrow, I am afraid, is completely impossible.

  • Zenemon Yogo: So they sent you...

    Seibei Iguchi: Zenemon Yogo, by order of the clan, I come for your life. Draw your sword, please.

    Zenemon Yogo: [Intoxicated] Have a drink? I know you're all keyed up, but I'm going to run.

    Seibei Iguchi: Run?

    Zenemon Yogo: Yep. I want you to let me get away. If you please.

    Seibei Iguchi: I didn't expect that fromt he clan's best one-sword man. My orders are to kill you. I can't let you escape.

    Zenemon Yogo: Don't be so impatient, you can kill me at anytime. I'd like to talk to you. Have a seat. It's a nice day.
