Die without ambition

An impeccable film, whether it is actors, scripts, art, music, or settings and props, is simply a textbook existence. "As fast as the wind, as gentle as the forest, swept as fire, and as steady as a mountain", a set of tactics that make the war extremely gorgeous. As long as the mountain does not move, all directions are safe. As long as the mountains are there, no one can break the Takeda family's territory. But such an unparalleled hero could not escape the arrangement of fate, "died before his ambitions", and finally sank to the bottom of the lake in his son's territory, waiting day and night.

Ying Wushu is also a tragic figure. He was found to look like the protagonist because he was a thief. After the protagonist died, he wanted to run away, but in the end he stayed for the sake of his family and country, and temporarily saved the Jiangshan of the Takeda family. In the process of becoming a mountain, it gradually swelled, so that he himself believed that he was a mountain, and tried to ride the royal black horse up the mountain. In the end, as the minister said, "hidden everyone, but not one horse." Shadow martial arts Being expelled from the house, although the face is exactly the same as that of the lord, it is a different fate after all.

Foreign thieves can be reached, and family thieves are difficult to guard against. Shan's son's thirst for power eventually leads him to break his promise to his father and turn his troops to the enemy. The old ministers also knew that the Takeda family was exhausted, but they still followed the new lord to the battlefield to fight to the death, and agreed to meet again on the left and right sides of the mountain! When the wind and forest fires and the mountains attacked the enemy in waves, the shadow warrior witnessed the gradual death of the entire army in the grass. Finally, when the Takeda family had no more soldiers, he decisively rushed to the battlefield frantically. , and finally was ruthlessly shot to death.

How tragic and how proud! I believe that Shandie is also a ghost, and this army of thousands of horses will eventually meet him underground.

    This is one of the best Kurosawa films I've ever seen. However, the character performances in all his films are so exaggerated, and the connotations are quite straightforward. The final defeat scene is too long. The color is pretty nice.

    Everyone lives under the afterglow of the lord. When it comes to portraying the characters of the shadow, I always feel that I still owe a little bit of meaning. In fact, many of Kurosawa Akira's movies will not let you interpret too much. The love and writing are in front of you, you don't feel too emotional, you don't feel the blood is not red, and you won't be silent when you should be emotional. This is also my Warring States. When the enemy dies, I also summon my soul, and when the enemy attacks, I also bombard me. The bloody and calm, aggressive and aggressive in the Warring States period also strengthened the pattern of an era. It's just that shadow, it's just a shadow, there is no better ending, the white clothes turned red and swayed down the lake.
