Hei Jin is only a supporting role in "Ran", but like Saburo, Madame Mo, and Hirayama, he is one of the few "hopes" in this desperate movie throughout. When Xiuhu was forced by Taro and had to retreat to Jiro’s domain to seek asylum, Kurokin, who was a key minister of Jiro, keenly felt that this might be an excellent opportunity for Jiro to ascend to the position of a literary householder, saying, “If the lord is incompetent, I Waiting will also become the fish and meat of others", not only strengthened Jiro's determination to launch a mutiny, but also revealed the characteristics of Hei Jin: fickle and powerful. Of course, perhaps it was the instigation of the black gold that led to the tragedy of Jiro and Xiuhu's father and son, but in troubled times, father and son cannibalism was originally common sense. In fact, this kind of drama was performed in various parts of Japan. For example, the famous Takeda Shingen and Otomo Sorin, their struggle with their father is far more fierce than the movie "Ran". If Heijin only knows how to use power tricks blindly, then his position in the film is at best equivalent to Xiuhu's rebellious minister Ikoma. The real value of Black Gold is that he has outstanding ability, but maintains absolute loyalty to Jiro, which meets the requirements of the Eastern world for ideal ministers. Black gold's loyalty is mainly reflected in four places: 1. Sniper Taro. This is a very important scene in the movie. Taro and Jiro merged together to "strangle" his father Xiuhu on the mountain castle. Just when Taro triumphantly thought that he could order a literary general from then on, Heijin's cold shot ended. His life. The direct consequence of this shot was to push Jiro's name to the throne of the house governor. In order to prevent Jiro from killing his brother, Hei Jin said a meaningful sentence: "This is the fortune of the war, and God is also helping you. Yeah!" But what is ridiculous is that when Jiro was confronted by a mentally handicapped woman, Madam Feng, he suddenly said "Big Brother was killed by black gold" and betrayed his retainers without any ambiguity. Before and after comparison, people are even more impressed with the loyalty of black gold, and at the same time, it can be seen how fragile the superior-subordinate relationship is maintained by "loyalty" in the monarchy society. 2. Contempt infidelity. After Jiro became the governor of the house, the two elders of the original Xiuhu who had secretly communicated with him before came to join him, and it was these two people who helped Jiro "kill" Xiuhu. To these two people, Heijin’s words were full of disdain: "The lord said that you were a close waiter and betrayed the master. It is really unreasonable to keep you by your side." From one aspect, Heijin’s loyalty is reflected, just like the saying goes. Things are gathered together in groups, and people are divided in groups." Hei Jin cannot tolerate infidelity staying with the lord, just like Guan Ning and Hua Xin can never sit together because they are completely different kinds of people. 3. Speak frankly and dare to admonish. Mrs. Maple is the most important character in the film. She provokes Taro to exile her father Xiuhu, and then seduces Jiro, and finally destroys a literary family business. Her existence directly constitutes the story line of "Chaos". As a veteran samurai, Heijin saw Madam Maple's wrong intentions from the beginning. Therefore, he violated the order of "Assassin Wife Amo" that Jiro confessed, and used the allusion of "Vixie" to humiliate Madam Maple. Before leaving the battle, he warned Jiro. "Do not miss a woman before the general goes out." When Jiro obeyed Mrs. Maple's words and wanted to fight Saburo, Heigin asked loudly, "Is the master of this country the lord or Mrs. Maple?" All this is to let Jiro see the true face of Mrs. Maple. . It is a pity that instead of heeding the words of the black gold, Jiro continued to indulge in Madam Maple’s gentle homeland, and went further and further on the road of self-destruction: assassinating his wife Amo, and reluctantly attacking the Fujimaki army, all were served by Madam Maple. "The will", eventually ended up ruined. At the end of the film, when the angry black gold took Madam Mo’s head and forcibly killed Madam Feng who had missed the country, the audience felt not happy, but deeply sad — even if Madam Feng was killed, a writer’s family would lose. It is irretrievable, why does the punishment for the traitor always come so late? Even if Heijin has enough wisdom to see through Madam Maple's evil intentions, he has to continue to obey Jiro, who has been deceived by Madam Maple. Although all this stems from his loyalty, he has to watch the country go to ruin. 4. Be generous. When Fujimaki's army invaded the city, the energy of a writer was exhausted. At this time, he finally slashed Madam Maple’s black gold, and left his last sentence in the whole film to Jiro: "Please confess your fate (suicide), I will accompany you!" If before this, there are still people who provoke him. Jiro's relationship with his father and brothers doubted his ulterior motives. Then when he saw this, all these doubts were self-defeating, and he was willing to fight to the end for the Lord. Even in the ancient society that emphasized loyalty, it was not easy to do. There is a saying in Japan in troubled times that “the samurai is worthy of being called a samurai by three changes of the samurai”, and Kurokin can do it for Jiro. The last straw left by the audience. Black gold has its cruel, cunning and cunning side, but its loyalty to Jiro is no less than Hirayama's loyalty to Xiuhu. He is cold, because the troubled times cannot tolerate tenderness; he is cunning, because his opponents are fox-like people like Madame Feng; and his loyalty is entirely derived from the simplest "jun and minister" thinking in traditional society. Comparing Heijin with the courtiers in a character in the movie, and making judgments, even the loyal and courageous Hirayama, compared with Heijin, has a bit less courage in front of the lord. Therefore, if a family of characters in the movie is a ship, then black gold is the bow of the ship.
