    86/100 Traditional culture, which is both a proud and intoxicated facade of the bottom class, and a tool for the ruling class to domesticate and bind the bottom class, this film tells how an awakened bottom person uses a very persuasive truth. A story that shreds its false mask. From this film, we can see the inspiration of many Chinese...

    Completely closed composition, suppressed from beginning to end. For the proper use of all three, the abdominal cutting does not have the stimulation of the senses in Japan's longest day, and the hundred people cut does not have the madness of the Great Bodhisattva. But what is more worth noting is that in that era, the black and white meaning cut the belly with a knife, and the flow out is all dark and gloomy. Geisha and samurai are really human beings. Rentaro Mikuni used every muscle on his...

    When watching the movie, it feels like the heart is being held by someone's hand, as if it were hanging in the air. I want to find someone to go to McDonald's for one night and talk about this movie all night. I am puzzled. I will describe the oriental aesthetics contained in Japanese samurai films in detail. I am also eager to hear more about the relationship between Bushido and human nature, and I want to be cold-blooded. To dissect the death ritual of 'cutting the abdomen', its beauty,...

    Hashimoto Shinobu's script is really awesome. The absurd drama at the beginning turns into a tragedy, and the narrative method of disrupting time and space ensures the observability of the film, while controlling the rhythm and sweeping the background. The practice of the family at the end of the film is worth recalling, and the armor and history books that are symbols of Bushido throughout the film are really meaningful. Tatsuya Nakadai is really...

    It was a bit boring in the second half of the film, and found that Kobayashi really likes diagonal lines. The foreign guns and shells hit the last warriors, the prelude to the new era is always low and...

    9.0 After watching "The Sword of Death", I really couldn't bear to re-watch the masterpiece "Cut the Belly". The shot is so classical and delicate, the story is slow, and the layers are progressive, but the tension is full, and there is a chill in the composition. Sing a dirge for Bushido, forbearance and heavy, full of sighs, Bushido has long been broken, and only the hypocritical appearance has become a "useless...

    Everyone has their own order and principles. Jinyun's samurai attitude conflicts with the samurai rules, revealing the unbearable under the spiritual system. Spiritual things are human creations in the end, and they must be blinded, and there are bound to be flaws in careful study. To pierce the absurdity of reality, sincerely attack the shield of the child with the spear of the...

    A clean lens without a trace of "impurity"! I feel that Mr. Kobayashi directly put the camera to the symmetrical point, the camera position is fixed, and the film was completed with simple shooting techniques such as long and short focus, front and back shooting, close-up, fast zoom and so on. This story is so pure, the scenery, precise lighting and heart-wrenching soundtrack are so pure that people are fascinated; the final big killing formation goes against the heroism of the predecessors,...

    The same samurai, how to force each other? The compositional kung fu influenced later generations. The simple violence of the Japanese architecture and the complex and individual characters became the spiritual monuments of the black and white films of that era. The wind is silent, and the rage is mad. Life is not worth it, but people die, and the battle armor will laugh at the smoke and dust. The tyranny and insult of dignity, the sharp black stone under hatred and madness, the black shasha...

    In some films, there is a deep national temperament, and perhaps this is what the domestic films lack. For a movie made with culture, one of the good movies of that era should be watched...
