    Kobayashi Masaki's best work! Rigorous to a little restrained, not very comfortable, but the ending is too...

    Worthy of being the best anti-samurai film, Kobayashi Masaki shows the humbleness of the fate of a human being like a mustard and a true samurai very well. History is written by the ruler, and you can't see him as he is. This film lost Visconti's "Leopard" in Cannes that year, and it is a...

    The explosion looks good, and the duel in the wind is perfect. . . However, the downloaded subtitles are the same as those translated by the machine, which greatly affects the look and feel. . . . . Need to find a good subtitle to watch it...

    The first Kobayashi Masaki, perhaps the best Nakadai Tatsuya. The audiovisual, theatrical, and the way in which the core of the theme is expressed and deconstructed is impeccably perfect. Bloody reality tramples on your dignity, Bushido is just a facade? ! At this moment, Tatsuya Nakadai is transformed into Li Yunlong - what Lao Tzu is fighting is...

    It is entirely a sociological study of the samurai warriors. What really made the samurai class decline was not the musket, but the corruption of money and the differentiation of the rich and the poor. In the face of status and vanity, the samurai lost the honor that they most needed to maintain as samurai. It deeply satirized the hypocrisy of the upper-class samurai who praised "cut belly". Tatsuya Nakadai is as perfect as Toshiro Mifune. The perfect script, deep in...

    9/10. The opening commentary of the film: a pair of samurai armor decorated with white beards appears in the smoke. The opening gong music faintly implies that Bushido, like the armor on the ancestral altar, has long lost its original meaning. The sacred object was held high above the head and fell down with great effort, and the vanity of the samurai of an era officially ended; even more ironically, in another space where Jinyun and the retainers of the Ii family were fighting, the old man...

    What does "narrative" mean? The highest power is essentially the right to speak in historical writing. This film is the best display of the so-called words of the ruler, and at the same time, it has a further excavation of the concept of class and honor rooted in Japanese culture; Kobayashi Masaki is the composition and The master of wide-angle photography, Hashimoto Shinobu's script is carefully organized and deciphered layer by layer, and the performances of Nakadai and Mikuni are very...

    Another work in which the play and technology are comprehensively approached to perfection. The high and low levels, the composition of the characters on the outside and the inner circle, and the push, pull, fix, shake and adjust the flow of the camera are all very ceremonial. The staggered progress makes the plot full of dramatic tension, and it is more decisive than Kurosawa's "Tsubaki Juro" in the strength and way of deconstructing the spirit of Bushido (the impact of the breaking of the...

    It's really a near-perfect work, from the core of the story to the performance skills to the acting casting. The core of the story is to ridicule and criticize the hypocrisy of those in power. Bushido is essentially a tool of governance. It is also a useless tool to cover up shame compared to the literati's death in danger. It is already beyond the times. , This 62-year-old movie is enough to hang up and beat the current film and television people. The narrative structure reminds me of...

    The big screen is too emotional. Too bad Laomouzi didn't even learn the fur of other people's form, let alone the theme. . . . Full of humans. . the entire human race. . . All mankind. ....
