Allusions in the movie----------Fifty years in the world

In the movie, when Oda Nobunaga learned about the news of Takeda Shingen's death, he took out his folding fan and came to this passage: "Life is fifty years in the world, and the world is in a flash. , it must be done in the end."

Then I realized that the origin of this sentence is not a Chinese poem, but a legend of the Japanese Hei clan Dunsheng. The content of the legend is in the appendix. One of them was performed by Noh drama, and the lyrics are as follows:

思へばこの世は常の居み家にあらず.

Leaves of grass can be placed in white dew, and water can be placed in the middle of the moon.

き ん こ く に 花 を Yong じ, Rong Hua は first つ て impermanence の wind に lure は る る.

The moon of the South Tower is the next generation, and the moon is the first.

Fifty years in the world, the next day is like a dream.

Once born, enjoy, and die.

The last few lines of Tang poetry are translated as: 50 years of life, like a dream and an illusion. There is life and death, the strong man He Fushan.

In the plot of this film, Dunsheng's allusions are used. Xinxuan's army was unable to attack the city, and every night someone in the enemy's army played the flute. Xinxuan went to watch the battle out of curiosity, but was assassinated. The piper is the story of Heira Toshinori in ancient times, and the passage that Nobunaga likes to sing also comes from this allusion - "Fifty Years in the World".

    1. The long shot of the fixed camera for nearly 8 minutes at the beginning. Xinxuan is in the middle, Xinlian is on the left, and the shadow warrior is on the right. There is only a ray of candlelight, and the shadow of Xinxuan is like the projection of the shadow warrior; Simple, but moved Takeda's guards and audience, "shadow" and "people" for the first time into one. Shadow Warrior's dream and the ultimate pursuit, shadows are inseparable from people, eager to get rid of people and have freedom, but they have to chase after them to the death.

    What is "shadow"? It is by no means a replacement of life and death, a concrete substitute, but a banner, blood, the faith and loyalty of the Takeda family's death. The shadow expelled is Takeda's uneasy soul, witnessing the coming of fate and the end of the era. Mountains and forests will fall, living beings are impermanent, Nanke has a dream, and an illusion.

Kagemusha quotes

  • Shingen Takeda: Even with this resemblance, Nobukado, he is so wicked as to be sentenced to crucifixion. How could this scoundrel be my double?

    Kagemusha: I only stole a few coins. A petty thief. But you've killed hundreds and robbed whole domains. Who is wicked, you or I?

  • Masakage Yamagata: How old are you, sire? Fifty-three, as I remember.

    Shingen Takeda: Why?

    Masakage Yamagata: And you still behave like a five-year-old child. People gather, scatter, they go left and right following their interests. That is not surprising. But then I find you like this. With such a narrow mind, you must not dream of rulership. Go back to your own domain. You are a mountain monkey. You should be gathering nuts in the mountains of Kai.
