    The tragedy of Bushido + Tower of Babel. A: I am willing to accept the blame for the loss (Jungle Theory) B: Comparing the heart to the heart to be fair and just (the view of good and evil). Under the same set of game rules, the two passers-by are still guarding their own interpretations. After the long debate, they can only perform their own duties. It's not a bloody feud, but Jinyun's practice of attacking/preaching (ideological incision) to powerful groups in order to complain of being...

    The flow of the lens creates a good sense of spatial hierarchy, and the rigorous composition and lighting are also quite skillful, but the output basically depends on the lines, which is a bit...

    Hashimoto Shinobu's script handling has always been long-winded and preachy, but the core is very exciting and can rise to the height of philosophy. The film's satirical reflection on the spirit of Bushido is very profound, adding different contexts from the perspective of different classes, which is very appealing to me, but unfortunately the overall rhythm is not well grasped. I think flashbacks are a lazy narrative method. It is too simple and rigid. Although the narrative is completed, it...

    #DocumentaryPhoto# The samurai of Nakadai Tatsuya said in one word that "facade", yes, the once glorious Bushido, which means "benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith", has finally been reduced to a pretentious decoration for the facade. It is also possible to hide the truth from the sky and whitewash the peace, and those ancient warrior ancestors have also been shamed. The emergence of such a movie in Japan in 1962 must contain the consideration of borrowing from the past to...

    [A] In terms of literature, apart from the excessive colloquial narration, "Cut the Belly" is unusually aggressive on the whole. The "Bushido" spirit that spent a lot of time in the early stage to build and backlog was fully released at the end. , ushered in a dead end of hacking and killing, but at the last moment accurately pierced the key point of this spiritual core. In the image, the composition and the use of a large number of off-axis shots subtly construct a deep relationship between...

    Separating the extreme of Bushido spirit from the brutality of truth - the film itself is like a process of incision, mixed with pain and pleasure. The script is already a sharp knife, the photography is the hand holding the knife, and the music is the fatal blow. From the first shot, that sacred, solemn and paradoxical atmosphere is completely shrouded. The faces of all the actors in the close-up are like sculptures, and the muscles twitching slightly are escaping enormous energy. The...

    "Today's fate of others will be your own portrayal tomorrow." Use a storytelling movie to shoot the storytelling; use the warning issued by the protagonist to warn the audience in front of the screen; use the smashing armor that symbolizes faith, come Expose the pretense of a ruthless government... If Bushido is just a facade, then war and peace are nothing but lies and deals; if experience is the best teacher, then the deepest human experience is the lesson of history. Therefore, after the...

    Ethics can eat people, and Bushido can eat people. These are all tragedies under the strong discipline of society. It's a good story, but I'm still indifferent to Kobayashi. The shots and performances are very delicate, even beautiful, but they can't mobilize people's emotions, and even a little irritable at the end, maybe there is something missing in his...
