A good man is really hard. He has to support his family and maintain the age of the samurai. Although he is only a trivial pawn, he is the great father of his daughter and a responsible man. I don’t know if real Japanese men are all Worship this kind of responsibility spirit, but in this kind of film, Japanese filmmakers can always show that they serve their masters under the premise of being responsible to their families, which is always the opposite of China...
even the warehouse administrators , but as a samurai, the male protagonist still shoulders the burden of fighting with another humble samurai warrior and finally kills each other in the process of vomiting the bitterness of life between the two, but, even if it is, reluctantly and unwillingly, as a samurai, Loyalty to the master is the biggest rule. Even in the era when the samurai was defeated, the male protagonist had to leave the house for this rule, leave his daughters and the girl he had admired since childhood, and rushed to the battlefield against the imperial army of the Restoration Empress, and finally Died by gunfire. This is just like what is said in "The Good Man Injiro", it is really hard to be a good man. It is really difficult to fulfill both the responsibility of being a father and the responsibility of being a samurai.
Coincidentally, the kendo master in "The Last Samurai" was also played by Hiroyuki Sanada, and died of gunfire in the battle against the new army. Is this movie a prequel to "The Last Samurai"? Hahaha, just a coincidence...

    Dim screen colors and a bleak life seem to start here, but it's much more than that.

    It's so good, this kind of gentle, reliable and responsible man is really hard not to love

The Twilight Samurai quotes

  • Kayano Iguchi: Father, If I learn to do needlework someday I can make kimonos. But what good will book learning ever do me?

    Seibei Iguchi: Well, it probably won't ever be as useful as needlework. But you know, book learning gives you the power to think. However the world might change, if you have the power to think you'll always survive somehow. That's true for boys and for girls. All right?

    Kayano Iguchi: Yes.

  • Seibei Iguchi: I am ashamed to say that over many years of hardship with two daughters, a sick wife and an aged mother, I have lost the desire to wield a sword. A serious fight, the killing of a man, requires animal ferocity and calm disregard for one's own life. I have neither of those within me now. Perhaps in a month... alone with the beasts in the hills I could get them back. But tomorrow, I am afraid, is completely impossible.
