    It turns out that this story full of twists and turns is the prototype of Star Wars! Then it must be topped~! Not only the United States has individual heroism, there are also heroes in eastern culture. Just like this film, Xia Bi is not a hero for the sake of being a hero; the two peasants lead the play, which also ends with two people, similar to "Seven Samurai", in troubled times. Vulnerable groups of people always show their complex side. The last enemy general's counter-attack is also very...

    1. Without the track, a lot of panning shots are used to complete the complex scheduling. Although the technique is simple, the visual power is still infinite; 2. The three boats used gold bars to deceive the officers and soldiers to cross the bridge, which is the idea of ​​​​a hero in a small country; 3. I hate ugliness, but In the end, it is a true and beautiful...

    Akira Kurosawa once again used a story from the Warring States Period, which he was good at, to depict the good and evil of human nature, the beauty and ugliness of personality. The whole film has a very high level of fluency, and it also vividly portrays the characters of samurai and farmers. In the 1950s Shooting widescreen movies, the effect is so good, absolutely master...

    Several Kurosawa Akira films co-written by Shinobu Hashimoto always have a dialectic of human nature and philosophy at the end, and they are deep and thought-provoking. (I especially love one of the scenes, where the three are tied to the left, the enemy general is on the right, and Xue Ji reads white) But what is even more commendable is Akira Kurosawa. No matter which screenwriter he works with, he can constantly improve the grammar of the film. Progress, and maintain the consistent...

    A true friend of the ants in troubled times, they are easy to get along with on the Huangquan Road; the spear kills the hero, and the horse runs away; the violent princess plays with rattan, "put away your loyal face!"; burns gold and dances like a dream... among them Influenced too many classics of later generations, wonderful and...

    #Northern Film FestivalPhoto# One of my favorite Kurosawa Akira movies, and "The Stick of Heart" can be called Kurosawa Akira's classic masterpieces, but this time, it is not Mifune's samurai who stand out the most, but Chiaki Mi and Fujiwara Kuzu's The two peasants, who are greedy for money and lust for profit and forget their righteousness, can be regarded as outstanding representatives of ordinary people, while the samurai and Princess Qiuyue played by Mifune are another kind of characters....

    In the spring of 1945, Akira Kurosawa planned to shoot "Wild Princess", which was aimed at cheering up the war that had been defeated, but in the end it was not possible due to the shortage of film. Is the innocent and wild character image of the Mid-Autumn Moon Princess in this film from the idea in 1945?...

    Some people say that Akira Kurosawa is Lu Xun's fanboy, so I believe it. In Kurosawa's films, the samurai is just a long-dead romance. It seems that only the peasants are the eternal victors, especially in "Seven Samurai". In "The Heroes of the Warring States", although the two peasants could not have the last laugh, they could be said to be Ah Q's oriental brothers. They are greedy, stupid, weak, and clever, but they grow like grass. Even Kurosawa once said: "I would say that no matter what...

The Hidden Fortress quotes

  • General Hyoe Tadokoro: Why did you let me survive the shame of my defeat? To defeat an enemy yet let him live may seem kind, but it's cruel!

  • Princess Yuki: I have enjoyed the journey. The happiness of these days, I would have never known living in the castle. I've seen people as they are, without pretense. I've seen their beauty and their ugliness with my own eyes.
