    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...

    [A-] I won't say much about the old-fashioned "Star Wars" past life, the film itself is already a very qualified commercial film under the blessing of Akira Kurosawa. The riot on the steps in the fourteenth minute was really terrifying, and the scene scheduling overflowing from the inside of the shot was already a kind of coercion on the audience. The same is true for the classic chase in the back. Real shooting, front and back shots, camera shake, and repeated editing emphasize the sense of...

    Awesome! Later became Lucas's main source of inspiration for "Star Wars". In all respects it is an absolute model of master-level standards, it is needless to say. The story is compact, the characters are the best, the general who is devoted to his duties and is loyal, the princess who is just and dignified, and the greedy and mercenary mischief. , without the suspicion of profiling, very full and...

    The scene of a clearance-style commercial blockbuster is indeed exciting. The character setting is the same as all works of Akira Kurosawa, each person has only one personality, and there is no depth at all. The extras will always be like fleas hopping in the middle and long shots, and they will fall down once they are thrown, and the hail of bullets will never hit the protagonist. The heroine's stance directly inspired Ronaldo's compass...

    The warring states hero Akira Kurosawa’s warrior warrior entertainment film, the plot design is humorous and tight. In the film, Toshiro Mifune plays the wise and brave general Akizuki, but the most famous image in the movie is the comedy image of two peasants who are tall and thin and the other is short and fat. , And later they became the C3PO and R2D2 in the Lucas "Star Wars" series? Hahahahaha! ---Classic,...

    It is said that the pattern of the story is not big, but Akira Kurosawa has the ability to combine the grandeur of history and the vivid appearance of the characters. The heroic princess, the wise and courageous General Zhenbi, and the wretched and greedy two small peasants could not be more suitable. Especially in the ending part, the princess has a few words, a long song, not only won a general, but also immediately sublimated the mood of the whole film, which is...

    Mifune was very handsome during the immediate period, and the prototypes of R2D2 and C3PO were also very popular. It was pretty good and was ruined by the disgusting voice and the princess whose actions were so...

The Hidden Fortress quotes

  • Princess Yuki: Kofuyu was 16. I am 16. What difference is there in our souls?

  • Old Lady-in-Waiting: I don't know what to do with her Highness. It's the lord's fault. Even if he was lacking an heir, it was cruel to raise her Highness like a boy. Say right and she'll go left, say left and she'll go right. And though she is a girl, she has never shown me a tear. The same with her present behavior. Insensitive to your pain of having sacrificed your sister, she herself doesn't shed a tear, but she still criticizes you. It's too much.

    General Rokurota Makabe: Her Highness is the real sacrifice. Her suffering is having to rebuild the Akizuki clan.
