People do not save themselves, but seek God

After watching "Crazy", it reminded me of Guy Ritchie's "Gentlemen".

"If you want to be king of the jungle, it's not enough to pretend, you have to be king without hesitation, because hesitation brings chaos and one's death."

"It's not that easy for a tobacco boss to retire."

"Chaos", the story of the retirement of the boss, moved to Japan during the war-torn period.

Showing off a tiger with a single character, he has been on the battlefield for many years, mocking his own meat as "old and smelly", and has the intention of retreating. He called the three brothers Taro, Jiro and Saburo, and asked them one by one to hand over the great cause to Taro Xiaohu. In the era of war, Xiuhu did not teach his three sons loving fatherhood, and some just asked for obedience. When handing over power, his heart may be extremely soft. On the one hand, he handed power, and on the other hand, he used the metaphor of "one arrow is easy to break, but three arrows are not easy to break", hoping that the three sons would love and unite with each other, and he would take turns to three A son's city-state is a guest, and he is living in a long life.

This powerful lion in the evening, unable to run, took a nap, and wanted to retire.

Taro and Jiro accepted the power politely. Saburo put his knee against the arrow and broke three arrows, and told his father that three arrows could be broken. Xiuhu was furious and chased him. Fortunately, the monarch of the neighboring country took a fancy to Saburo's righteous words and recruited him as his son-in-law.

If the situation is as Saburo said, after Xiuhu handed over power, he would form a conflict with Taro, who wanted to consolidate his power, and Taro Castle would not be able to accommodate him. Xiuhu hopes to live in Jiro Castle, but Jiro, who was already complaining that Xiuhu did not hand over his power to himself, can tolerate him.

Leaving Jiro's city, it seems that, overnight, Xiuhu wandered into the wilderness from the all-powerful lord of the evening. Until all the attendants were killed, and the remaining servant Kuang Ami, who had been serving him, Xiuhu himself was greatly stimulated and seemed to be crazy.

The outspoken but upright Saburo, came to pick up his father. However, Xiuhu's other two Yuhi allies seized the opportunity to seize Xiuhu's former main city. During the war, Saburo was shot and died, and Xiuhu couldn't hide the blow and died of grief.

The country that was once established by countless Xiuhu has been thrown into chaos again due to this failed transfer of power.

This is the storyline of Chaos.

The world of great competition is so cruel, all depends on strength, personal prestige may be useful, but once the foundation of strength is lacking, prestige is like the clouds in the sky, spectacular and beautiful, but as long as the wind blows gently, it will dissipate. go.

Of course, in addition to the storyline of the film, the film's elaboration on loyalty, redemption, the creator's mercy, etc. is also worthy of our attention.

Taro and Jiro, who talk nicely, quickly pushed their father to a dead end for greater power after they were granted power. Instead, it was Saburo, who spoke righteously and was expelled by his father, and Empress Tang, who was expelled for blunt advice. , When he is down, stand up and help him.

Taro's wife and Jiro's wife are both daughters of the owner of the city that Xiuhu took, and they are married to Xiuhu's two sons. Taro's wife tried hard, and destroyed Xiuhu's foundation step by step. After it was destroyed, she fell into a deeper hatred, or she could return to her homeland. The film didn't explain it to us, but she didn't have time to see her own achievements with her own eyes. It turned into a pool of blood on the wall. After Jiro's wife's castle was destroyed, she devoted herself to Buddha, like avoiding the world of great competition, but she avoided others, but others did not want to appease her, and soon became cannon fodder in the power struggle. One is radical and the other is peaceful, but it seems that neither of the two paths of redemption can go through, and there is no exit.

Xiuhu was surrounded, and Taro and Erlang jointly forced the palace. The film has a long description of the battlefield, how long it is, and it is long enough to cause discomfort, and "Shadow Warrior" also has a similar technique. The sound of knives, gunshots, roars, flames, broken arms, ruins, and blood flow.

In the scene where Xiuhu died, Kuang Ami roared at the sky:

"Is there no god? If there is, listen to me, you are mischievous and cruel!

Are you bored to kill us like ants?

Is it so much fun to make humans cry? "

On the side of Tango, he said not to blame the gods and Buddhas:

"God weeps too,

He saw human beings who did all kinds of evil kill each other, and even gods and Buddhas could not save them.

Don't cry, this is the world

Do not seek peace and seek pain, people are taking sorrow and pain from each other, and celebrating killing! "

Perhaps when directing, Akira Kurosawa, who was behind the camera, could not hide the pain and shed tears.

We looked at the clouds, and the clouds flew away.
