    One person can live in poverty, and the two will feel resentment. After the film ends, the ending song "The Established Melody" is sung along the long country road, which has a heavy sense of dusk and a long sense of memory. Very powerful, it is the reflection of the 70-year-old director on his own life and...

    2012July7, Jiuting, VCD. The VCD I bought in the past is very bad now, the picture is not clear and the dubbing is not good, and there are many dark night scenes, so the screen is always black and tired to watch. The film itself is good, and I have the opportunity to find a good version and watch it again.

    ★★★★☆ The first part of Yamada Yoji's samurai trilogy, the script of the film is too good to say, the family, love and values ​​of the little people in the era of samurai decline can be seen at a glance, Qingbingwei, a weed-like character, has a great personality Impeccable, and his longing for a bland, unfriendly character is essentially a subversion of the Bushido spirit. Yamada Yoji presents a samurai movie against the Bushido...

    Yamada Yoji was already such a director back then, using calm film language to narrate a story that is not thrilling but deeply touching. The forbearance of Qingbingwei, the helplessness of being rejected when he confessed, and the sympathy of the fallen people in the end of the world, to the helpless confrontation at the end, the stories are interlocking, and the scenes are simple but enough to show the style that the director wanted. The sadness that started after reading it turns into a...

    Spread out like warm water, the cherry blossoms end in zero, and the little people at the turn of the times are also amorous. Conscientiously and painstakingly maintained, this family's financial constraints cannot obliterate the light of life. The samurai who chewed the bones of their daughters were obstructed by the cramped living quarters and were mistakenly killed. The barriers interlaced and constructed a fierce space, which brought the whole piece of warm soup to a rare boil. Qingbingwei...

    Yamada Yoji is really a fine example of being delicate, plump, not provocative, and not sticky, but a question I have been thinking about is whether it is a bit inappropriate to use an omniscient perspective since her daughter is the narrator and memories are used as the narrative method. . . (It must be my professional disease...

The Twilight Samurai quotes

  • Ito: With a sick wife, two young daughters and an aged mother in his care, my father was unable to drink with his colleagues. He had to hurry home every evening at dusk. I was told the men he worked with gave him the cruel nickname of 'Twilight Seibei'.

  • Kayano Iguchi: Father, If I learn to do needlework someday I can make kimonos. But what good will book learning ever do me?
