chaos

1. When the old master was advised by Saburo and Zhongcheng twice, he finally chose to go against it. Although others try to persuade him to make a choice, people cannot be persuaded by others, and subconsciously, his choices are also made to satisfy personal wishes, and to govern a country, one should be as rational as Saburo, thinking with the ultimate overall situation as the premise. From this point of view, it also shows that the father, Taro and Erlang are the same kind of people.

2. The character of Mrs. Feng has always been a bad image in the film. Knowing that her family was killed by her husband and married to Taro, she was just a victim of the war.

3. Saburo was the most upright person among the participants in the story, but he died in the end. The film does not have a name for who killed him, but the woman, Mrs. Feng, will pop up in his mind, implying that she killed him. He doesn't seem to deserve to die. From Madam Feng's point of view, Saburo's death is correct.

4. Kuang Ami seems to be a small person in the play. He is a bit like a bystander, who jumps out of the whole story and watches. Just like the "Knight Leader" who came out of the hole in the painting "Knight Leader".

Supplement: The role of Kuang Ami in the second half is very important. He finally participated in the life of the old master. He thought he was a bystander of the old master's life, and in the end, he also pity and care for the old master. From an angle like him who is not involved in the story and has a little contact, can you see it more clearly.

4. The period when the three cities were captured was very shocking. The whole process was in black and white, except for red and yellow.

5. In troubled times, people who do not have a chicken, such as Ah Mo, dare not even have hatred. The hatred of killing their family and killing their relatives eventually turned into a spiritual support for the Buddha.

5. Tsuru Maru's flute sounds like a whimper of the end of the world, and my heart suddenly tightened when it sounded at the end of the film.

4. In troubled times, do not seek happiness but seek sorrow, do not seek tranquility but seek pain in the world, people celebrate murder, every character is a tragedy, and God is crying for such troubled times.

    A great masterpiece, 4K restoration and rescreening feels like a pilgrimage to the 30th anniversary of the typhoon in the house full of people. Sujing boss M. Barker said with infinite admiration and nostalgia, "Every frame of film comes from the hands of this 70+ old man". Kurosawa Akira's adaptation of Shakespeare makes people even more aware of the universality of a classic that crosses ethnic and language barriers. The last shot is really shocking...

    The characters are slightly symbolized, a large number of perspectives lack a sense of substitution, and are guided by a strong personal perspective (although these are deliberately done by the director), and it is a perfect adaptation. Last night, the atmosphere of the museum was very good. The whole audience watched with almost a pilgrimage in the dark. From time to time, there were laughter along with the plot, long applause at the end, and a strong smell of lilac flowers after the end.

Ran quotes

  • Hidetora: What madness have I spoken? Wherein lies my senility?

    Saburo Naotora Ichimonji: I'll tell you. What kind of world do we live in? One barren of loyalty and feeling.

    Hidetora: I'm aware of that.

    Saburo Naotora Ichimonji: So you should be! You spilled an ocean of blood. You showed no mercy, no pity. We too are children of this age... weaned on strife and chaos. We are your sons, yet you count on our fidelity. In my eyes, that makes you a fool. A senile old fool!

  • Kyoami: In a mad world only the mad are sane.
