Hara-Kiri--Analysis of the Use of Props in the Film

The work "Cut of the Belly", which takes the spirit of Bushido as a clue, tells the story of the down-and-out ronin Qian Qianyan's begging daughter and Tsuyun Hanshiro in the courtyard of the noble family Ii family. During this period, the director used props of different natures to build three completely different Bushido spirits in the film, which showed the director's own concern for society and...

In the face of fate, even if we have the helplessness of being alone, we must have the fearlessness of being independent.

Some people told me that "Cut the Belly" was a documentary, and when I saw the name, I thought that 80% of the documentaries on this topic were horror films. I can only blame myself for being ignorant. It is not an exaggeration to describe this film with the words "ultimate model". The black-and-white film of 196 years is still impressed by it in 2019. The story, actors, music, shots, scenes, everything is classic, like a beautiful work of art that will make you awed. There are many classic...

Five-pointed work, cut belly

The reason why this film can be given five points is mainly because of the strong shocking power of this film. The story is full of ups and downs, recreating the miserable life of the ronin in the Edo period. Ronin lost his beloved master, not only lost his former glory, but also lost his spiritual sustenance. Jinyun Hanshiro and Qian Qianyan begged their daughter to live happily and happily. However, the illness of their wife and son, and the increasingly difficult life forced the begging...

The Hypocrisy of Bushido

The first time I saw this film, I was deeply attracted by it. I have seen thirty or forty Japanese samurai films, and this one is a reflection on the way of Bushido. The samurai were civil servants in ancient times. Without a big name, the samurai lost their status and salary as a civil servant, and became an unemployed civil servant ronin. Without income, I can only make a living by doing handicrafts, because the pressure of life after begging a daughter to get married and have children,...

In the 1960s, the significance of the era of "cut belly"

Friends who have a little knowledge of Japanese film history will know that the era of samurai movies (period dramas, jidai-geki ) has the highest status from 1927 to 1944. Yes, it was the most powerful period of Japanese militarism. Loyalty, martial arts, and nationalism in traditional samurai movies are vigorously celebrated. And this also caused the samurai movie to experience a period of bleakness after the defeat. There was a time when samurai...

The social predicament of the Tokugawa period and the decline of the samurai class are all deeply discussed in this film. The ending is...

The killing formation is too perfect, the Sanchi version of the killing formation is scum, Bamboo Sword 1VN is just nonsense, and the final cut belly, the Sanchi version can't be compared. The original version is forbearance and restraint until it erupts, but the Sanchi version is more than warm and lacks strength. However, I prefer the Miike-style bamboo sword to cut the abdomen rather than bite the tongue and commit suicide. In fact, the irony is not the spirit of Bushido, but the attack on...

From "Cut the Belly", we can see the decline and poverty of the middle and lower classes, the hypocrisy and cruelty of the ruling class, the shackles and deceit of people's hearts, and the selfishness and sadness of human nature. Everything is regarded as "politics" by "advanced...

8.3/10. ①As written in the introduction: Ronin Jinyun Hanshiro went to Ii's house to rectify the name of Qian Qianyan's daughter (his son-in-law) on the grounds of incision. ② One of the roots of all these tragedies is the dogma of Bushido. ③The fixed or slow movement of the camera and the slow and restrained narrative/editing/performance rhythm render the depressing atmosphere, but unfortunately many times the execution is not in place and becomes a traditional melodrama (fighting clips, some...

In the era of changing world affairs, the shogunate was unified, the samurai declined, and he had to go to the big family to make money by coercion. This story, which is ridiculous in the eyes of those in power and tragic in the eyes of the parties involved, slowly begins. In terms of performance, I personally think it is Tatsuya Nakadai's best work. The opponent's play is very brilliant, and the props are fully utilized and the meaning is expressed. Narratively, it's a very good story, with...
