      Zushi Sanshiro

      It is still believed that the broadcast of the Japanese TV series "Tsu Sanshiro" in China was unprecedented and perhaps unprecedented. It left an indelible memory in the hearts of our generation. To this day, the aftertaste still makes people think.

      In 1981, China's reform and opening up entered its third year. After the turmoil and depression of the Cultural Revolution, the society ushered in the years of passion. It was also in the same year that Japan's first TV series "Tsu...

      The master shot, different reactions...

      Although it is the first work of the director of Akira Kurosawa, it has already begun to show its edge, and it seems that the prototype of Akira Kurosawa's film empire has been built.

      The film tells the story of a young talent growing up. The opening of the lotus symbolizes the practice and epiphany in the process of growth.

      The first bloom is rebirth. A major shift in thinking.

      Here I think of Dante's "The Divine Comedy", which says that God's most precious gift to man is...

      Two classic lines

      The first paragraph: a dialogue before Shisanshiro jumped into the lotus pond:

      Master Yano: Your ability has become stronger, and your strength may have surpassed mine, but your judo and mine are vastly different, do you realize that? You don't know how to behave, and teaching judo to someone who doesn't know how to behave is like letting a lunatic take a knife.

      Shisanshiro: I know how to be a human being.

      Master Yano: Nonsense. Without reason, without purpose, is fighting...

      "The Oil of Toads" on "Zi Sanshiro"

      The following is excerpted from Akira Kurosawa's autobiography "The Oil of Toads":

      Ready - shoot! At that time, the girl who played this girl asked me, "Director, I just pray for my father's victory, right?" I replied, "Yes. But please pray that this film can be made into a good work by the way. Pray." - When I was the assistant director of Martial Soul, I had carefully watched Mr. Yamamoto's directing, and I was amazed at the fact that he was very...

      Shisanshiro is the little fanboy of Master.

      Such a poetic name, when I first saw it, I thought it was a dance movie. It was the first time I saw Master fight with people, I immediately worshipped Master, and I didn't need any shoes, so I pulled a cart for Master. This kid is too kidnapped. Fighting with people and being scolded by the always gentle master, Master is really angry with him. Shisan Shirou made up his mind to say that I could die for Master, and then jumped into the pond... Master just closed the door and didn't care....

      Generally speaking, it is a very brisk film, but I can already see the clues of the style in the future. - Five fights, each scene is different, it can be seen that the director still has some designs, that is, there are some snacks that are not enough. The specific feelings, I wrote in the viewing...

      With clogs as a cutscene, the passage of time is shown. Helping the girl tie her shoelaces, and then bring the camera to the umbrella, but she forgot to take the umbrella. The camera stopped for a few seconds when he was thrown in the upper left corner during the competition. In the final duel, the wind was blowing, the clouds in the sky ran wild, and the grass on the ground swayed in the wind. The scene is very...

      Akira Kurosawa's debut novel. The philosophy of judo successfully uses natural elements such as wind, clouds and grass to demonstrate the strength and balance of judo. Interestingly, both Kurosawa and Rey used a lot of shots of lotus leaves and ponds in their debuts, one for epiphany and one for conceiving death. Eastern philosophy and aesthetics are still the...

      7. The debut novel, a fighting drama of the era, sharp and fast cuts, and a rising ending. It can be regarded as the prototype of a type of film genre, namely the Hong Kong martial arts film-Ip Man series, etc. Its elements are: distinct motivational events, experience tempering the mind and body, interpersonal relationships push and pull, and lovers finally get...

      Compared to those who are used to watching Chinese martial arts films where flying over the eaves, walking on the walls and licking blood with the tip of a knife, Zi Sanshilang's jujitsu with his shoulders, backs and pushes is almost like a "foot-bound square dance". This perception also exists in Xu Haofeng's martial arts films. However, this kind of non-huaquan embroidered legs is actually a martial art that finds a loophole in the ordinary and kills it with one...

    Movie plot

    In the 15th year of the Meiji era, Shisan Shiro went to visit Sanshiro, but he did not expect to see a splendid fight between the Shimono party and Masagoro Yano of the shrine. As a teacher, he stubbornly became Yano's disciple.
    A few years later, he became one of the four kings of the monastery, and under Yano's careful training, he became a humble hero. Soon, Sanshiro, as Yano's representative, challenged Kadoma to his death. Then...

    "Zi Sanshiro" tells the resonance of "Martial Spirit" and life. The details of the entire movie are very in place, from the costumes, architecture, etiquette, tolerance, etc., are so appropriate, which has a considerable relationship with Wind Man's well-thought-out script. The growth of a judo genius has always been immature from a stunned "boy", but it is this immaturity that creates the ultimate pursuit of martial arts. To become a...
