This is a movie full of the spirit of Japanese Bushido. The spirit of Bushido that is still not forgotten by the lower-level samurai is in sharp contrast with the spirit of Bushido that was lost by the upper-level giants. It is a pity that the true representative of the spirit of Bushido, Tsuyun Banshiro died. By the hands of the false Ii family. This may be because the director wants to express that since the era of Azuchi-Momoyama, the world of war is gone, and the samurai who are senior soldiers are no longer needed. One of the reasons for its decline.

When it comes to the set of the film, almost all the story of the film takes place in the Jingyi family. The exquisite and symmetrical Japanese-style courtyard and the bamboo forest during the duel all have a strong Japanese style, which makes me, a person who has been to Japan, feel a little bit. Nostalgia, and even produced: when to go to Japan again, this time to take a closer look at Japanese architecture. idea.

I won't spoil the story here, from when I heard the one-sided remarks of the Ii family's retainers, I favored the Ii family, and then Ban Shilang told the story behind the story. I really feel that Qiu's daughter is a poor person with responsibility. But such a thing is unavoidable. The problem is that the Jingyi family did not do a good job in the aftermath of the matter, such as agreeing to the request of the begging girl to go home, so as to know the truth of the matter, or sending the begging girl's body. It's time to express the most basic sympathy, explain to Hanshiro and pay the corresponding funeral expenses, and things will not change so badly. Unfortunately, the condescending attitude of the Ii family led to this tragedy.

This is a very good movie, niche and thought-provoking. For people who don't understand Japanese culture, this movie will be a bit difficult to understand, but if you understand Japanese culture, this movie will give you a deeper understanding of that The fallen samurai

    Directly attack the "cut belly" as the ultimate symbol of the samurai spirit, cut it open by the middle, and take a look at it. "What's the use of me wanting this rotten thing!" The composition is precise and perfect, the script is full of master skills, and the structure and form are perfectly combined with the theme described - the first half of the narcissism is like a ceremonial incision ceremony, a solemn indictment of the so-called pride of the samurai ; In the end, a one-man versus world-style messy duel smashed the false Bushido into a piece of chicken feathers. The Ronin used cutting his belly to beg and was despised and killed, but the big family who despised him could only use it as a fig leaf. The best thing about the movie is the seriousness of the issues discussed, and the transcendence of time and time in both vertical and horizontal directions. The universality of the topic - it will not be out of date, because people will not change. If you don't believe me, look at the current world, moral and ethical violence and disregard for the uniqueness of individual emotions are still the same. great movie. //The first Kobayashi Masaki

    Photography, lighting, scenery, soundtrack, drama, scheduling, performance... All aspects are perfect works, and the drama is extremely thick and filmed so dexterously, it cuts into Japanese society only from the point of incision, especially as Paodingjie The cow generally cuts through the false skin of Bushido. Both the film itself and its social significance are indelible in the long history of film.

Hara-Kiri quotes

  • Hanshiro Tsugumo: The greatest delicacies taste of nothing when one dines alone.

  • Kageyu Saito: The ronin from Hiroshima, Hanshiro Tsugumo, committed hara kiri. All our own men died of illness. The house of Iyi has no retainers who could be felled or wounded by some half-starved ronin.
