Like the square structure of the main hall, square, and city, the movie also has a four-story structure in my opinion. Let's start this question at the metaphorical level. Since the sky is round and the place is round, so the sky is under the heaven) naturally means the square "earth". The things in the sky are related to the strange power and chaos, and the things on the earth are related to the livelihood of the society and the people. Therefore, the four-layer structure of the film is naturally related to the "ground" of the founder. Furthermore, since it is Fangzheng's "earth" and "world" rather than "heaven", then this film has no intention to dabble in complex metaphysical factors, but only focuses on the discussion of human world issues. Therefore, there is no transcendental realm in this film: Heaven, God, absolute spirit, none of them. Many people say that the difference between ancient and modern is the existence and non-existence of the transcendental realm, or "is God dead or not". Then the question becomes interesting at this time. If "Hero" happened in an era that bid farewell to the transcendental realm, according to the previous criteria, "Hero" should occur in modern times, but "Hero" is positioned as a The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. So did the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period have modernity because of the "destruction of rituals and music"? possible. But there is another parallel possibility, that is, this is a modern political fable. In chronological order, the film can be divided into four stages in the plot: The story of the national hero, the assassin who kills the assassin enters the palace to receive the reward. The farce of a dog-blooded couple, the peerless master is emotionally alienated. A step-by-step strategy, everything is for the way of the altar. Thoughtful persuasion, "The King of Qin cannot be killed." Divided by genre, the film reflects four kinds of mixed perceptions: Stupid people's assumptions, as reflected in the second story. Ordinary people's inference, as revealed in the third paragraph of the plot. The judgment of the philosopher is as understood by the fourth layer of broken swords. The decision of the king is like the moment when the king of Qin ordered the arrows to be fired. According to the characters on the scene, the film sets up the following four kinds of people's existence states: Alone. For example, "Wu Ming" lived his whole life alone only for swordsmanship. family. Such as Canjian and Feixue couple. Seven Kingdoms. The film focuses on the two kingdoms of Zhao and Qin. world. A field that is expected and imagined. The so-called repairing Qizhiping is probably the same logical sequence. According to the human state of mind, we can do this: Desire. The second layer of dog blood stories is driven by this. Blood gas. Assassin's original intention to assassinate Qin all stemmed from revenge. reason. This is where the third-tier strategy comes from. The "whole vision", or about the "harmony of the soul," obtained by reconciling the above three. Can Jian gave up stabbing Qin, and at the same time gave up the sword that blocked Feixue from being immersed in hatred. Wuming gave up assassinating Qin, and at the same time gave up the violence to break free. King Qin gave up more and had no choice, he had to kill Wuming, he had to rule the world. So what is this modern political fable trying to say? You all probably know it by heart. Finally, I want to say, "Hero" is a real cow force. Regarding Akira Kurosawa, regardless of the external form, just looking at the spiritual core, I think the "reality" of the national teacher is more brilliant than the "nothingness" of Akira Kurosawa.
