I thought I would think “it was amazing to be able to shoot like this at that time”, but after watching it, I realized that “this kind of shooting effect cannot be produced by many directors, especially Chinese directors today”... I re-watched this film in 2019 and found A lot of details. At the beginning of the story, I looked for a companion of the samurai. When the master asked his apprentice to attack the samurai with a wooden stick, a few farmers hurriedly backed away. Because the backing was too natural, I ignored this detail in the past, but this retreat shows that the farmers are pushing responsibility. It was given to the samurai (master), and didn't want to bear the anger of the samurai being attacked, even though they should be the main responsible person, not the master hired by them. There were also disciples who secretly paid the peasants to buy rice, which was a kindness, but when the master later considered that the disciples were young and would not let him participate in the fight, the peasants were eager for the disciples to make up the number of people. Of course, Akira Kurosawa has no brainless black peasants. As Kikuchiyo said, although peasants are cunning and selfish, it is the war of the warrior class that created peasants' character. The samurai is very arrogant, the farmer is also very selfish, and both sides have their own pains, witnessing all this is the farmer Kikuchiyo who wants to be a samurai.

Yes, the Japanese "Murato" mocked by the turtles is so magnificent, because Emperor Kurosawa allows the audience to see clearly, no matter the samurai or the farmers, they are all capitalized people!
