In the face of fate, even if we have the helplessness of being alone, we must have the fearlessness of being independent.

Some people told me that "Cut the Belly" was a documentary, and when I saw the name, I thought that 80% of the documentaries on this topic were horror films. I can only blame myself for being ignorant. It is not an exaggeration to describe this film with the words "ultimate model". The black-and-white film of 196 years is still impressed by it in 2019. The story, actors, music, shots, scenes, everything is classic, like a beautiful work of art that will make you awed. There are many classic scenes in it. The one that impressed me the most was the scene where the situation changed when the two warriors were dueling, the vegetation knew its power, and even the world was moved by it. The music is also very characteristic. It is so simple that you cannot notice it, but it is powerful and has a strong stage effect. The story, everyone knows from the title that it is about Bushido, but it does not advertise Bushido nor does it satirize Bushido. Such a brilliant story doesn't lend itself to spoilers. I won't go into details. I just want to say that all symbols should not be the true meaning of life. In the face of fate, even if we have the helplessness of being alone, we must have the fearlessness of being independent.

    The flow of the lens creates a good sense of spatial hierarchy, and the rigorous composition and lighting are also quite skillful, but the output basically depends on the lines, which is a bit unpleasant.

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.
