Another good movie that brought tears to my eyes. With such a plain, natural and unpretentious narrative tone, many details can be seen to be warm, making people feel warm, and feel the simplicity of home. beauty of. In addition, I like people with integrity, like people who have a firm mind. And Qingbingwei is such a person. What is happiness? Getting what you want is happiness. Iguchi Kiyobei is not a samurai in the secular sense, nor is he a successful man in traditional values. He does not pursue fame and fortune, but is content with poverty and lowly. He is good at martial arts, but he doesn't want to commit himself to the dignitaries, gain glory, and become famous. The family is poor and poor, but he still does not change his aspirations. Busy all day long, full of dust and dirt, but wholeheartedly taking care of the family, no complaints, no complaints, peace and tranquility. He is a strange man in this world, he is a non-mainstream good man at home. What the movie wants to express is more or less the creator's value projection. In a Japanese movie story, a character who is almost Chinese Yan Hui is played. The Master said, "It is wise to return! A basket of food, a scoop of drink, in a mean alley, people can't bear their worries, and they don't change their joy when they come back. Yan Hui sticks to his heart of seeking the Way, and is not disturbed by worldly fame, fortune, wealth, and honor. And the Qingbingwei in the movie is also such a person who is browned by jade. He is highly skilled in martial arts, he is not clinging around, he is a dog, and he is not arrogant or arrogant, but he is humble and humble, and he is low-key and quiet. He loves his family, is righteous to his friends, has affection for his lover, and knows how to think about others and think about others. He was soft-hearted, without the killing heart of a samurai. He is disciplined, doing things and not doing things. In such a chaotic time in the movie, in the last years of the shogunate, starvation was everywhere, the killings were endless, and the hearts of the people were chaotic. In a very passive fate, he insisted on his seemingly insignificant initiative. But life is like a game, and the rules of the game are so cruel. Everyone, no matter which level or position they are in this game, has their own passives and their own initiative, but after all, they are endless passives. All things in the world, what is fair? Injustice is the norm, and the law of the jungle is the law of the jungle. Under such a helpless living situation, even if a gentleman is constantly improving himself and his fate is not good, how should he behave himself, how should he stand, how should he treat others, and how should he behave in the world? After all, people are subject to the environment, and cannot be peerless and independent. Qingbingwei, a low-level samurai, no longer wants to be with the world. Once the life of the life is firmly grasped by the powerful, for the sake of his family, he has no choice but to submit. Warriors, no matter how high their social status is, are still just thugs of powerful families, working for others and killing others. A good martial arts, if not driven by the powerful, then Only despair, livelihood worry. The so-called Bushido spirit advocates loyalty, to whom and to whom? In a world where economic bases determine everything, can a samurai be loyal only to himself? Do not do things against your will and act according to your own will, or can you only obey orders and obey the mission of the gold master? Even though the character of Qingbingwei is created in an idealized color, it still presents the plight of fate under great helplessness in a realistic way. There is no whitewashing and no covering up, which makes the film more profound. At the end of the shogunate, before the Meiji Restoration, Japanese society was in turmoil and the people were struggling. Every little person seemed to be even more insignificant under the wheel of history. The decline of Bushido, the end of an era, can only be remembered in movies. Finally, I want to say how much I like the way the hero and heroine are presented in the movie. The two people who are in a state of disappointment in life are still so beautiful. No brocade clothes, bright skin, but all have a sincere, bright, simple and pure heart.
