    Bushido spirit is just decoration, and the world will not be changed by the rendered story. When a samurai was assassinated not with a sword but with a gun, the lingering Bushido actually died. The characteristics of Japanese films that dig deep into ethnic materials can be seen again, and the constant flashbacks, theatrical sets and even Noh music are unique. However, the unavoidable large amount of character dialogue still weakens the power of the image to a certain extent and deepens the...

    Tragedy of the samurai class of a particular era. The false and decent Bushido spirit carefully maintained by the ruler is completely punctured by the director at the end of the film. The low-angle and a lot of gentle push-pull shots present a certain solemn atmosphere, and a lot of slanted compositions strongly show the mental state of the characters. The fighting scenes are not good-looking but purely the externalization of a certain emotional state. In order to maintain the consistency of...

    Well, the five-star finalization will not change. Otherwise, I really suffered the "four-star curse" this year. Mainly, in 2014, I said that Honneur is in nature, that Honneur has it, or it doesn't. Can't force it. He replied, haha. A honneur is a decision. Today I understand the decision he...

    Just like "The Sword of Death", it is difficult to calm down after watching it. It is a samurai movie that fearlessly confronts the elite and feudal system. Sad fate.... Kobayashi Masaki has always been very particular about composition and...

    Living in the world, how can you fully know the heart of others, and how can you easily believe what you say is true. Yang Gun shattered the dignity dream of a defeated era, but such tragedies have been staged in other eras. The performance of the samurai class under the historical changes, the description of the tragic plight of the samurai and the detailed demonstration of the contradiction between the moral spirit and the human relationship spirit in "Cut the Belly" can all be reminiscent of...

    Directly attack the "cut belly" as the ultimate symbol of the samurai spirit, cut it open by the middle, and take a look at it. "What's the use of me wanting this rotten thing!" The composition is precise and perfect, the script is full of master skills, and the structure and form are perfectly combined with the theme described - the first half of the narcissism is like a ceremonial incision ceremony, a solemn indictment of the so-called pride of the samurai ; In the end, a one-man versus...
