Recently, the conflict in the Ukrainian incident has intensified. By chance, I thought of "The Assassination of the First Emperor", which I had never watched, and I recalled some pictures of "Qin Song" intermittently, so I found "Qin Song" and watched it, and then this "Shadow Warrior" .

The shadow is a human being, but not a human being. The growth of the shadow and his changes add a sense of humanistic realism to the mechanical rules of the empire. He is the shadow, the cogwheel of the empire, and a human being. Ying Zheng in Shi Huangdi's assassination also made me feel this way, they were all being urged to go, and they couldn't help themselves. When the shadow decides to play the protagonist, the shadow is already dead; but the shadow seems to be alive again, becoming the protagonist, becoming a symbol, which is contradictory again. The shadow is moved by the protagonist and is willing to be the shadow, but the shadow does not want to be completely It's the shadow, and the shadow wants to be himself. Use the people around you to speak the shadow's heart, "it is difficult to live as another person", "what will the shadow think after the completion of the 3-year task", and the end also tells us that the shadow has become a human being, a human being Shadow is made.

    1. The long shot of the fixed camera for nearly 8 minutes at the beginning. Xinxuan is in the middle, Xinlian is on the left, and the shadow warrior is on the right. There is only a ray of candlelight, and the shadow of Xinxuan is like the projection of the shadow warrior; Simple, but moved Takeda's guards and audience, "shadow" and "people" for the first time into one. Shadow Warrior's dream and the ultimate pursuit, shadows are inseparable from people, eager to get rid of people and have freedom, but they have to chase after them to the death.

    What is "shadow"? It is by no means a replacement of life and death, a concrete substitute, but a banner, blood, the faith and loyalty of the Takeda family's death. The shadow expelled is Takeda's uneasy soul, witnessing the coming of fate and the end of the era. Mountains and forests will fall, living beings are impermanent, Nanke has a dream, and an illusion.
