Sophistication refers to the film's script and visuals.
Yuanyuan refers to the idea of the film.
From the perspective of the play, the screenwriter of "Kiichi" is the famous Hashimoto Shinobu. He has cooperated with many famous Japanese directors. His most famous masterpiece "Rashomon" is a model of exquisite play.
The title of the film is cut belly, and the story is also closely linked to the action of cutting belly to conduct in-depth spiritual, meaning and other excavations. Incision is one of the spiritual symbols of Japanese Bushido, and it is the embodiment of its externalization. The samurai regards reputation above all else, and it is the reputation that is tied to the belly.
Japanese samurai is a special social class, evolved from the private armed groups of ancient local lords, with the nature of mercenaries. In order to maintain the relationship of trust between the samurai and the head of the family, Bushido was born.
The background of the film is the Tokugawa Iemitsu period, known as arbitrary politics. Bushido was at its peak by then. Tokugawa Iemitsu weakened the power of the daimyo, and the daimyo could not support so many samurai, and a tragedy similar to the fall of the Qianqianyan family in the film happened.
So, incision is the main clue. The background of the film is that the head of the Qian Qianyan family committed suicide by cutting his belly, and the samurai tree fell and scattered. Many samurai who had no way out of life made moves to force other families to take them in, but in fact most of them wanted to cheat a sum of money.
The current time and space of the story is that Jinyun Hanshiro went to Ijing's house to cut his abdomen;
The reason for the story is the use of flashbacks to surround Qian Qianyan's belly-cutting incident;
At the end of the story, incision is raised to an administrative measure, so that those who are truly incised have no rectification of their names, and those who have not been incised are killed by incision, which is quite funny and bitter;
The subtlety is that the protagonist of the story, Jinyun Hanshiro, finally seized the opportunity in front of the musket, and finally committed suicide.
In the same way, incision is the main symbol in the film. In the film, it is most obvious and obvious that the cut belly symbolizes the tragedy of the family.
The incision of the beggar was actually an unbearable bamboo sword, which directly exposed the extremely difficult situation of the fallen warriors at that time, and showed the precious qualities of the beggar as a husband and a father in addition to being a samurai.
It can also be seen that a truly upright samurai would dare to give up everything for the sake of his reputation. Even a bamboo sword that can't cut tofu with laughter would have to be stabbed into his stomach with difficulty;
After agreeing to cut the abdomen, the final destination of the knife must remain in his body after all.
At the end of the film, Jin Yun recounted the difficulties of begging for a woman. After he was stabbed several times, he still chose to cut his abdomen to kill himself in the face of the musketeer, and he did not choose the wrong person. It can be seen that the symbol of the cut belly symbolizes the decline of the samurai class at a larger scale, and is a samurai elegy at a smaller scale.
Incision is the end of the samurai. In the movie, it represents the downfall of the Qian Qianyan family, and it is also the end of the beggar and Jinyun. Incision represents reputation, and in the movie, it is the effect of administrative measures for the reputation of the Ii family.
What is quite dramatic is that before asking for a woman, there are many warriors with bad intentions, who are forced to cut their stomachs, and they are really trying to defraud money. The unlucky one who begged for a woman became the first test item, and the begging of a woman's abdomen was really difficult. In this way, the significance of the film will be reflected.
From the perspective of modern people, the Ijing family should be held responsible for the death of the begging girl.
They first used Bushido, the moral code of conduct at that time, to criticize the warrior character of the girl who was on the moral high ground, believing that he didn't want to die at all, but just cheated money, which made the girl fall into a dead state;
The second was violent coercion. The begging girl wanted to flee. The Ij family dispatched a large number of samurai to seal the begging girl’s escape route, forcing him to commit suicide;
In the end, he knew that he was begging with a bamboo knife, but he still had to cruelly watch him use the bamboo knife to complete the abdominal incision ceremony, and finally committed suicide by biting his tongue under extreme pain.
The difference is that it is difficult for us to criticize the Ijing family.
This is also because the film's views on Bushido criticism and the upper-class samurai group represented by the Ii family are ambiguous, and it can even be said that it does not care about it.
First of all, the Ijian family was troubled by the ronin, knowing that it was a fraud, but couldn't take countermeasures, and finally let the old family's old Mu Nosuke make a decision that really made the ronin belly-much helpless.
Then it was the Ij family who discovered that the sword that the beggar was carrying was a bamboo sword, and naturally concluded that the beggar was just a ronin who cheated. The anger that had accumulated before broke out at this time, and decided to punish the beggar.
In general, the Ijian family did not know the real situation of the girl begging before the arrival of Jinyun. They use the evidence on the surface to determine the quality of seeking a woman.
When carrying the corpse to the begging girl's house, he still kept a low profile. This is not to shirk, but that they still believe that they have done the right thing, and that they have safeguarded the reputation of the entire family and solved the current difficulties.
Seen in this way, any attempt to constrain modern man's behavior with the moral point of view is interrupted by the premise of indecision.
And if we use the social moral standards at that time to judge, the actions of everyone here are in line with the moral standards of the time.
Ask for a girl first. The motive for begging for a woman was impure. He was trying to defraud the Ijing family of money, but at the same time he also said that the interest rate was high, which also showed that he was really ready to die. As a samurai, his withdrawal before cutting his belly can be blamed in the film as a desire to go home to say goodbye to his family and exchange the bamboo sword for a real sword. Through the subsequent narrative we can believe that he will return.
The beggar still died, and he really took a bamboo knife to commit suicide, and stabbed his stomach with the bamboo knife. In the film, the abdominal incision process is mainly completed through close-up and editing. The painful face of the begging woman and the little blood on the edge of the bamboo knife are enough to make the audience feel the same.
In all of this, does asking a woman humiliate the moral standard of Bushido? Yes, but more often than not, it fulfills the spirit of Bushido. Interestingly, the father who begged to commit suicide by incision symbolized the decline of a samurai family, while the suicide of betrothed by the daughter symbolized the demise of a samurai and a small family, and the spirit of the common people reflected some.
The Ii family, as a family that is still brilliant, is defending the spirit of the samurai. They forced the women to commit suicide, which is actually true. They maintain the family, and also maintain the samurai's morality of doing what they say, and defending their reputation. specification.
However, the arrival of Jinyun shattered everything, and the retreat and panic of the Ijian family could not escape their own guilt. In terms of the resulting administration, they had no choice. After all, in that era, reputation was more important than everything else.
"Separation of the Belly" is an elegy of two samurai, a tragedy of a family, a sigh of the samurai class, and a narration of the Bushido spirit that was produced and passed down in Japan for a very long time.
