I watched it while reading "Tokugawa Ieyasu", and I wasn't disappointed at all. The imagined images of Oda Nobunaga, Tokugawa Ieyasu, and Takeda Shingen are exactly the same as those shown in the movie. Great scenes, gorgeous colors, great performances and montages. Excellent, it can be said that this film made me really establish a point of view - what is national is what is in the world. Akira Kurosawa is completely shooting a Japanese film, but the essence of this classic can be understood and understood by the whole world. If Chinese films want to go global, they still have to base themselves on the culture of their own nation.

Fast as the wind, quiet as the forest, fierce as the fire, steady as the mountain! Film language, script, scheduling, cinematography, and artistry are almost textbook-level perfection. From the big to the small, from the point to the surface, the god-level control has been achieved in all aspects. The artistic attainments and the commercial elements are properly balanced, especially the colorful art (which has a great influence on Zhang Yimou), and several epic battles. Majestic and utterly tragic and shocking. Worth brushing a hundred times!

A movie from 40 years ago, if you think about it carefully, this is 40 years! At the moment when everything is in pursuit of efficiency, it is a very unflattering and even dangerous move for the film, especially the drama, to slow down the pace and still tell a suspenseful story; but this film removes the director's reputation bonus, from film language to ideas The expression is still at the top level, especially the editing can be called a montage template, the atmosphere is not original, neat and agile; the ending is neat and tragic, and while feeling desolate, it naturally completes the transformation of consciousness from the individual to the whole. It is difficult to think about the social (political) meaning derived from the film along this thread of consciousness. This is the height of the master.

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.
