    4.5. After thinking about it for a long time, I deleted all the writing. After three years between the two Kurosawa Akira, there is no unified and confident understanding of him. At first, I felt that it was a misstep to downplay the high degree of the history of the shadow warriors, resulting in the lack of the necessary empathy for the entire story that originally relied on concepts, but after thinking about it, does empathy have to be towards people? I empathize with the light of flying dust...

    Really explained: always imitated, never surpassed. Without naming names, it is said that a certain director and his works painting tigers are not anti-dogs. Anyway, Huang Shiro and Takeda Shingen are dwarfed by...

    The master is the master. The whole movie is very compact in 3 hours, and the rhythm is controlled very well. The scene is big and not chaotic, and it feels very good to cooperate with the music, especially the war at the end creates a sense of desolation. Various details of the plot pave the way for the failure of the Takeda family. The mountain fell and the Takeda family...

    8.0 1. Takeda Shingen's battle is Fenglin volcano, and Emperor Kurosawa's filming is Fenglin forest volcano. 2. Position the long mirror for more than six minutes at the beginning, and then run fast, with infinite tension between static and moving. 3. The battle of Changxiao at the end was indeed tragic, but I always felt that the fighting method was powerless to...

    "With the deity, the stand-in is meaningful. What happens to the stand-in when the deity is dead?" Maybe this is Kurosawa Akira's discussion of the word "movie", and the development of his movie is gradually moving towards Kurosawa Akira's inner "picture" " approached. Akira Kurosawa also told the audience once again that it is not impossible to simplify the plot of the movie, and how to make such a simple story into a three-hour feature film. Among them, the picture of "Dream" will inevitably...

    Fast as the wind, quiet as the forest, fierce as the fire, steady as the mountain! Film language, script, scheduling, cinematography, and artistry are almost textbook-level perfection. From the big to the small, from the point to the surface, the god-level control has been achieved in all aspects. The artistic attainments and the commercial elements are properly balanced, especially the colorful art (which has a great influence on Zhang Yimou), and several epic battles. Majestic and utterly...

    [A+] "As fast as the wind, as gentle as a forest, as aggression as fire, and as immobile as a mountain" This sentence comes from "Sun Tzu's Art of War: Military War", and was later used by the famous Takeda Shingen and his military advisor Yamamoto Kansuke during the Warring States Period in Japan. Come to command the cavalry of the Takeda family, the strongest in Japan's Warring States period. Akira Kurosawa's films also embody this idea, and now, this sentence has become a supreme dogma of my...

    After watching the two parts of "Chaos" together, the quality actually has a big decline in comparison. The rhythm of the first two-thirds is slightly delayed, the effective plot is too little, and the ties between the shadow warrior and the Takeda family have not been fully established, making it difficult for the final catastrophe to arouse emotional resonance. As for whether there is militarism in this film.... opinions...

    What I’m talking about is, I’m not grateful for helping others

    Seeing that the last 30 minutes came. Isn't this exactly the same as "Seven Samurai", what it says is that you have worked so hard to help others, and it is not easy for you to promise others. The difficulties you overcome at the beginning of the preparation for helping others are not easy. When...

    Takeda Shingen exists like a belief. As long as he is in power, the enemy is frightened. After Shingen's death, the shadow was in danger and was ordered to give up everything on his behalf. To move closer to Takeda Shingen, the battle of Gaotian Jincheng was a big change. The corpse of the samurai...
