Akira Kurosawa's "Shadow Warrior", the use of color in the whole film is particularly beautiful, this kind of beauty is the kind of shocking beauty that suddenly breaks into your vision, which is unforgettable. It's still "Ran", also shot by Akira Kurosawa.

The historical background of this film is the Warring States Period in Japan, and tells the story of Takeda Shingen, the leader of the Takeda family at that time. He was called the "Tiger of Jiafei", the first general of the Warring States period. He exiled his father and forced his own son to death. The strength and ambition of the world, before taking the capital directly, was shot by a cold shot, and he was seriously injured and was on the verge of death. Before his death, he left a last word, and kept his mourning secret for three years, and was pretended to be him by a shadow warrior.

The movie is about this story. Xinxuan used soldiers to believe in Sun Tzu's art of war. He had the flags of the four teams of Fenglin and Volcano (as fast as the wind, as quiet as the forest, as invading as fire, and as immobile as a mountain). Less than three years after his death, his son couldn't hold his breath, the mountains moved, and the Takeda family died.

When I was in high school, I liked to chat with my friends about history, and I often talked about the history of Japan. At that time, it was said that the people in Japan were so good. In fact, it is a city in China that is so big. How much can it be tossed? Now I think about it and feel ashamed for my narrow vision at that time.

Kagemusha quotes

  • Masakage Yamagata: [Rainbow appears, causing the advancing Takeda army to halt] My lord, what do you think that light is that is barring your path?

    Katsuyori Takeda: [Gives it a quick glance] A rainbow.

    Masakage Yamagata: You're wrong! It is your late father's instructions not to proceed. He's telling you to stay in your domain and guard it. Those were your father's last words. If you do that, nothing can harm us.

    Katsuyori Takeda: Harm? An ominous word. Since the time of our ancestors, the Takeda have never run from a fight.

    Katsuyori Takeda: [Addressing his army] Forward!... Forward!

  • Nobunaga Oda: [Giving battle instructions to his messengers on horseback] Tell the gunners to shoot the horses first. The Takeda cavalry cannot fight without horses.
