Original sin and reincarnation, in the end, the vast white land is really clean

I didn't know what to say after watching it for a while, God made it! It's really white and the land is really clean...

A large number of fixed shots, coupled with extremely heavy light and shadow effects, like oil paintings and religious images, are both real and immersive, but they also reveal a sense of absurdity but fate.

In troubled times, there is no kinship, and an inadvertent handover of power can instantly destroy a big family that has been established for 50 years. Since ancient times, fathers, sons and brothers at the top of power have mostly been enemies. Seemingly loyal people show their true colors as soon as they gain power, which shows why the rulers of all dynasties have given priority to consolidating their power. Moreover, although the sweet-smelling sword and the bad words have been staged countless times in the history books, how many people can get rid of the weakness of human nature and see the truth when it comes to themselves?

The cruelty of the war in the transition period from cold weapons to hot weapons was shockingly reflected in the three-city offensive and defensive battle at 1 hour. Being besieged and having no way to go, the feeling of desperation of the female family's caesarean section... But I suddenly felt like I saw the scene when Xiuhu attacked the city and conquered the land. The city that he burned down, the family he slaughtered, the boy who was forced to lose his eyes in exchange for survival, Madam Feng and Madam Mo who had to take revenge as their father after their family was destroyed... Is this the reincarnation of heaven? When Xiuhu was insane, he vaguely saw the souls of the dead begging for his life, and the echoes when he shouted at the burned city ruins seemed to be no longer in the human world. Madam Feng, who originally thought that snakes and scorpions were venomous, was actually a poor person who had cherished the revenge of her father and brother for many years in order to make big plans. In the end, only the crane was left, dazed and at a loss on the cliff...

The world, the human heart, just like when the lord died, Kuang Ami asked the gods and Buddhas to make humans cry. Is it so interesting? Don't cry, this is the human world, don't seek happiness but sorrow, don't seek tranquility but pain"... This is probably the original sin of human beings!

    [78%] Kurosawa Akira’s color use textbook, Zhang Yimou’s "The Great Wall" did not even learn the fur. The scheduling has reached the extreme, and the large and mid-range shots are particularly prominent, coupled with the typical sports shots, it is really shocking. It is also very interesting to insert close-ups of astronomical phenomena from time to time. The play is the framework of Shakespeare's "King Lear", which is very interesting: Kurosawa removed the part of the story that was too drama in the beginning, rationalized the cause of the story, but added more drama in the ending. I like the setting of the characters like Madam Mo's younger brother and Madam Feng, but for other parts, there is not much resonance. However, for such a work, the play may not be so important.

    ! Edited to blow up. Compared with the two-line structure of King Lear, it is not simpler, and after the concentration, more Shakespeare emotions are put into it. The hesitation caused by the killer's order, the peculiar melancholy among men, the ecstasy brought by power, and the ambiguity of the public and private fields, Shakespeare's plays constantly test the confusion and tragedy brought about by this ambiguity. The role of women is politicized rather than dwarfed, and the vision of a wife as a courtier has both the East and the West. The two women are like two paths. The contrast of colors in the natural environment and the integration of dreams, the blind and the lunatic have become Japanese symbols without abruptness, the Stoics are more open after enduring reason and replaced by Buddhism, the harlequin, the jester, the scourge, and the slave are both existing and growing... It is a very fitting Japanese strife and family hardship and chaos in the imagination. Shakespeare is so good, there will be a kind of sadness of the times after reading it. Good drama is the question, not the answer.

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.
