Qingbingwei was a samurai with a monthly salary of fifty stone. The crazy mother and the lovely daughter are everything in his life. His wife is dying, but he can't figure out how to live. How can the life of fifty stone salary be worth living?

Qingbingwei worked very hard, and everything had to continue before he reached the point of starvation. Selling knives to bury his wife is a man's responsibility to buy the life of a prostitute with spiritual support. When weaving the worm cage, my daughter sang the Analects of Confucius. It was an era of reading the Analects, and it wasn't too bad. Qingbingwei knows what the word survival means, and his daughter will eventually know that sometimes life is survival.

A woman can bring vitality to life. That is not the loneliness that Kiyobei ​​said, it is hope. The problem with Tomie and Kiyobei ​​is that it's too perfect, an apocalypse, with a perfect samurai family, it forces you to appreciate the twilight, which is the allure of this movie. Pengjiang, a woman who makes ordinary people toss and turn, but no samurai, Qingbingwei can't share the hardships of life with others, but when he is at the last possible moment, he will toss and turn, he told himself that if he passed this Guan, the woman was waiting for him, he had to pass.

Zaemon and Qingbingwei, on the one hand, are the grace of knowing, and on the other hand, they are ordered by the vassal. On the other hand, their hair is disheveled, and they are waiting for plastic surgery. Courageous, they are very similar, one ends up beside her daughter's bones, the other disappears into the fire of war, the duel of knives stands up, and the duel of guns hides. When it comes to death, the two are equal.

Although it is a movie from a neighboring country, I see many shadows of China. It is a memory for the Japanese, but it is a metaphor for the Chinese.

    It is not as good as imagined, but it does represent the breakthrough of Japanese swords and halberds since the 21st century. Samurai or ronin will no longer be as free as Zatoichi or Tsubaki Juro, and the pressure of their lives will appear so heavy and familiar in the context of the times. Bushido and the katana sword have become a drag on the wheel of history, but this is really just an innocent rebuke to the men who carry the sword.

    Although it doesn't have an exciting ending like "Hidden Sword and Ghost Claw", there is a touch of warmth behind the plain story. Yoji Yamada is too powerful. I watched three movies adapted from Fujisawa Shuhei's works. This is the best.

The Twilight Samurai quotes

  • Ito: With a sick wife, two young daughters and an aged mother in his care, my father was unable to drink with his colleagues. He had to hurry home every evening at dusk. I was told the men he worked with gave him the cruel nickname of 'Twilight Seibei'.

  • 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.
