The film is based on the writings of Wind Man. The director is Takashi Koizumi, who has been with Wind Man for many years and served as an assistant director in many of his films. The crew is basically the old team of Wind Man, and the cast also includes actors who are inextricably related to Kurosawa, including Shiro Mifune, who has been out of film for 28 years, and Takashi Kato, the grandson of Wind Man. The story takes place in the era of enjoyment, which is tired of luxury and advocates substance. It takes a despairing but noble warrior as the protagonist, reflecting a splendid outlook on life that is as bright as the rain. The film was screened as a commemorative special at the Venice International Film Festival in 1999, and won eight awards including Best Picture and Best Actor at the Japan Academy Awards of the year

Akira Kurosawa's posthumous work finally brought the topic back to the discussion of Bushido. The samurai in the film are roughly divided into two categories. One is the traditional samurai represented by Jia Lao and others. Their swords fight for honor and defend their own honor. The second is Misawa, a ronin whose career is not going well. His sword represents compassion and care for the poor at the bottom. The way of honor is the essence of traditional Bushido, and Misawa betrayed the traditional Bushido for the sake of humanity, and gave up the identity of the blade of the ruling class. It was like a mockery to other samurai, so he was spurned by the general samurai class. The city owner felt humiliated by his defeat, learned about Sanze's deeds, and went back to it after an epiphany, which represents his transformation from the way of honor to the way of people. Combined with the theme of "the rain stopped", one is to complete the humanitarianism. Communication, the second is also a symbol of Kurosawa Akira's beautiful vision for the world.

A short samurai movie, the story does not have vigorous fighting scenes, but it makes people see the character of the samurai, and also see a person's joys, sorrows and joys when faced with the impermanence of the world, the sentiments of great ups and downs, and seeing a good wife walking together of happiness. The script is philosophical, and Akira Kurosawa's script has always been thought-provoking, and Uncle Terao is still so good
