The Twilight Samurai--A Warm Samurai Film

Leo 2022-07-06 14:07:06

The warm samurai film is in line with Yamada Yoji's style. The movie "The Qing Guard of Dusk" recalls that after the death of his mother, his father, Qing Guard, who was mocked as "Dusk", devoted himself to taking care of the family. He showed his sword skills in order to save his childhood sweetheart. The daughter is taken care of. The story is a section of Qing Weibing's life. To sum up, these events are not so coordinated and unified, but the director handles them well, and the causal relationship is intertwined. And the tragic fate of the characters is very well combined with the proposition of the times, and the overall look is attractive enough. Qing Weibing is a great father and a qualified warrior. These two qualities are contradictory in him. He wants to be the former, but he has to be the latter.

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.
