A little bit of garbage

It is a good film and a good historical film. It often emphasizes the combination of personal destiny and sense of history. This film made me see more symbolic traces. A dying pariah made a samurai save his life. Takeda One of Xinxuan's last words, the power is so great that the image of the "Japanese God of War" is established, and the sudden collapse is at a loss. The shadow just imitates the presence of "moving", which can make its followers cry, but the shadow is really satisfied with this kind of greatness. Is it the spokesperson of the other person? Of course he experienced self-alienation, but this alienation was successful. Shadow completely surrendered his subjectivity, symbolizing himself again and thinking that he was already the dead Su Sheng. This is in the last scene. The shadow warriors who were dyed red, blue, and green only collapsed after the demise of their own people. It is worth noting that this symbolization is not on the battlefield, but the subtle completion of sharing the family with Sun. This reveals that Human transcendental subjectivity, the structure of human will is constructed entirely through intersubjectivity, and all identities are given by the experience of the symbolic system. The alienation of human beings is also a construct.
