A little afterthought

I think the existence of the witch and her predictions in the movie can be understood as the conspiracy of the two of Washizu Miki. The two of them suppressed the rebellion. This attempted rebellion touched them. They conspired to rebel on their way back to the city to receive a reward. After the incident, the brave Washizu became the lord of the city. Washizu had no heirs, and Miki's son adopted him. The descendants of Miki inherit the Spider's Nest City, so that both parties will get what they need. Jiujin killed the city lord at the instigation of Asakusa. This might be inconsistent with their conspiracy plan in the Spider-Hand Forest. Therefore, Miki was a little dissatisfied with Jiujin who was carrying the coffin, but he still fully cooperated with him to make him the city lord. As for the later plot, it was the battle between Washizu and Miki, and Miki Fang finally won.

I was deeply impressed by the dialogue between the little characters arranged in the movie. The first time when Jiu Jin became the governor of North Town, his servants said that the environment of the mansion was much better than that in the trenches, which seemed very satisfying and satisfying. For the second time, Jiujin became the lord of the city, and the servants stood on the tower and looked down at Beizhen and sighed that Beizhen was so small. Seeing this at that time, I was filled with emotion.

Sky is the limit? The world has no limits. The destiny of mankind is to use all his life to touch that limit until he fails. The tragedy of Sisyphus? Is there a fundamental difference between desire and ideal?

I don't know what the theme of the movie is, and I don't think it's so tragic. The movie expresses the process of people's destruction under the guidance of desire, and this process is so natural. Is Washijin a product of alienation? Desire is the most authentic thing of human beings. When I heard that song again, I felt a sense of peace. Akira Kurosawa did not show the desire for sin and criticism in the movie. What he wanted to express was human nature, but he was a pessimist.

    It is also an adaptation of Shakespeare's play. Compared with "Chaos", the monologue of the old protagonist is missing, and the story is a little thin. It was read in more than an hour. But still a very successful change. The atmosphere of the spider hand didn't say much. The special effects are amazing, and the scene where the last three ships are shot to death is amazing. The picture and acting are all great~

Throne of Blood quotes

  • Lady Asaji Washizu: What warrior would not want to be lord of a mighty castle?

  • Taketori Washizu: Miki would never speak of it. He is my best friend.

    Lady Asaji Washizu: He is ambitious. Children kill their parents for less. This is a wicked world. To save yourself you often first must kill. It is possible that Miki has already betrayed you. I fear this.
