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.

    A movie from 40 years ago, if you think about it carefully, this is 40 years! At the moment when everything is in pursuit of efficiency, it is a very unflattering and even dangerous move for the film, especially the drama, to slow down the pace and still tell a suspenseful story; but this film removes the director's reputation bonus, from film language to ideas The expression is still at the top level, especially the editing can be called a montage template, the atmosphere is not original, neat and agile; the ending is neat and tragic, and while feeling desolate, it naturally completes the transformation of consciousness from the individual to the whole. It is difficult to think about the social (political) meaning derived from the film along this thread of consciousness. This is the height of the master.

    The shortcomings of Akira Kurosawa's works are that they are not good at expressing the motif with appropriate length, and the setting of actors and costume scenes is too exaggerated and dramatic. This film has a wonderful introduction, but the newer script involves less related plots such as the succession of the throne. The lengthy war scenes have never been directly rushed, and there is also a "Rashomon"-like contrived ending. A family that is doomed to decline cannot be preserved by a personality that cannot be forcibly preserved.

Kagemusha quotes

  • Nobukado Takeda: I know it is difficult. I was for a long time the lord's double. It was torture. It is not easy to suppress yourself to become another. Often I wanted to be myself and free. But now I think this was selfish of me. The shadow of a man can never desert that man. I was my brother's shadow. Now that I have lost him, it is as though I am nothing.

  • [the double's aides are worried that others will find out he is an impostor]

    Masakage Yamagata: Little Takemaru was a problem, but the horse is worse. It can tell. Only the late lord could ride it.

    Nobufusa Baba: If the double falls off, everyone will suspect.

    Nobukado Takeda: Lord Shingen has been ill. He must refrain from riding.

    Masakage Yamagata: Good idea.

    Masatane Hara: There are many other problems. We must be careful to keep the late lord's intentions.

    Katsusuke Atobe: Tonight he will have to meet the late lord's mistresses. How will he be with them?

    Masakage Yamagata: Our master has been ill. He must refrain from riding.
