      Life is really hard - film perception

      Have you ever seen a starved samurai?
      Yoshimura's wife finally said to his relic: You have worked hard!
      Dying is so hard. Being beaten into a sieve by the platoon of guns, he used his last breath to return to his hometown to see his family. He was also ordered to cut his abdomen, so as not to implicate his hometown in the new situation. I "cut my belly" without drinking a sip of water or eating a grain of rice, really - why is death so hard?

      invulnerable

      Not long ago, my classmates organized everyone to watch the Batman prequels. Who knew that the number of people exceeded the budget, and the three cars could not be installed. So before the departure, someone committed the tragedy in the theater in Colorado, hoping that the idle people would leave quickly. Unfortunately, even the superhero movies have made us eat leopard guts, especially Batman is such a strong man, who can beat the enemy with his fists without breathing. Immediately, I...

      The end of the wolf

      —— about Mibu Yoshihide Biography- When.the.Last.Sword.Is.Drawn I

      haven't cried for a movie for a long time.

      This is a seemingly bland film, the emergence of memories, the crossed past, the perspectives of two people, slowly in the dark night.

      There is Okita who still has ugly hairstyle but is so chic and bright.
      Always smiling easily but without feeling sad or lonely.
      Confident, sunny, and occasionally naughty.
      He didn't hesitate to kill without...

      death is a relief

      An immature person will die violently for a belief, a mature person will live humbly for the one he loves. This phrase from Catcher in the Rye is not necessarily correct here, but it is appropriate. A samurai needs to take responsibility. For the sake of his family, he needs to leave his hometown. For the sake of dignity, he resolutely rushes into the hail of bullets. These two responsibilities are contradictory. The recollection at the end moved me the most. Perhaps, only death can let down...

      Impressed by Little Japanese Bushido

      From "The Last Samurai" to "Mibu Yoshitsune", I can no longer hold the Japanese Bushido that was BS by the Chinese. Although the movie is exaggerated, it is blunt that I have lost the spirit of Bushido in the torrent of history. , some angry youths even laughed at fifty paces.
         
         The two films are also based on the Meiji Restoration. "The Last Samurai" tells that in the daring and fearless revolution of foreignization, the Japanese people worship foreigners to the extreme (similar...

      I watched it many years ago, but I can't remember the plot... But the director played by Masato is still very impressive. It always feels like it's not like it! ! ! ! ! The hairstyle is too ugly. Does this offend the stylist? ? !...

    Movie plot

    In the pro-shogunate samurai organization Shinsengumi (しんせんぐみ), the wandering samurai Yoshimura Kanichiro left his hometown under pressure to save his family from famine. In the Xinxuan group, he ignored the ridicule of others, desperately made money and sent it home. With the situation in the shogunate declining and the shoguns themselves fleeing, the Shinsengumi was helpless, and fighting was the only option. Knowing that you are...

    Behind the scenes gags

    There are many film and television works about Shinsengumi in Japan, but this film, which was born out of Yasujiro Tian’s novels, did not select those big figures and well-known legends who have survived in history. Yoshimura, an ordinary Shinsengumi member with intertwined contradictions and conflicts, became the epitome of the great changes of the era at that time. Because of poverty, he had to leave the domain to join the...
