First of all I want to pay tribute to this old director, and secondly I feel ashamed of myself. Excellent culture can be passed down in other countries, but it is less and less valued in its own birthplace. The long shot at the beginning is enough to prove that this is an extraordinary film. The tatami viewpoint, a pan and pan shot, clearly explains the general situation of a family and the current events through the narration of the characters. Why is it called Twilight Qingbingwei? It turned out to be because he had to be at home before dusk every day to take care of his young children and his elderly mother. This was a nickname given to him by his colleagues, mocking him for not being able to eat, drink and play as freely as they did. Although a samurai is trapped in the material world, his spiritual world is extremely full. He pursues a life that is in line with nature, is not burdened by fame and fortune, has no desires, cherishes the gifts of life, and experiences the great love in the world, which is short-lived. life is full of good memories.

Many cultural values ​​can be read from this film, and these things have great practical significance for the current society and social atmosphere. Why do we study? Although reading is not like tailoring, it can make people see immediate effects, but reading makes people have the ability to think. No matter what age, if you can think independently, you will be able to use this ever-changing method. Solve all puzzles.

Wu has virtue, sword has Tao. In China, martial arts should emphasize martial virtues, and kung fu is infused with the feelings of the Chinese people, and Japanese swords also have kendo. This kind of kendo is quite similar to the plot of Chinese scholar-officials. During the Meiji Restoration, samurai should be like Chinese scholar-officials. no big difference. As a result, duels have become wooden swords. To be ordered to kill thieves, you need to organize your clothes first. It is very similar to the etiquette emphasized by Chinese scholars and officials. A noble sense of ritual arises spontaneously. .

The relationship between samurai and peasants, the identities of samurai and peasants are overlapping, just like Mr. Tao Yuanming in China, only if you can truly let go of the worldly feelings can you experience the peaceful fun and life feelings of Qingbingwei. , Of course Qingbingwei also has pursuits, especially love, his childhood sweetheart, the last part of the film back to the carbine can very well express the character of the character, my dream of marrying you has never faded, I don't know this sentence today Whether it can still move people, but Qingbingwei did use such a sentence to win the happiness that is about to be lost for himself, life is so strange, you don't want him to come to you when you want, and when you want it, he is gone. , but if you really believe in it you will be able to find it again. Through such a plot design, the contradictions and hesitations of the characters who have been beaten by poverty are shown, and people can experience the realism of romantic writing, and at the same time, they are deeply impressed by the power that erupted under the predicament. Therefore, Qingbingwei Finally, accepting the task is not only a political order that cannot be violated by the emperor, but he has elevated him to an opportunity to change the fate of his life. He is fighting for his own future happiness. Finally, through the narration of his daughter, he proudly outlines his father's life.

The so-called hidden in the city, Qingbingwei is a real master of wisdom and ignorance, and the real master is always very low-key.

The picture is great, especially the long shot formed by the tatami viewpoint, which is a praise for a poor but simple and beautiful family. The music is really wonderful and used very restrained, so every time the music is played, it is not only a rendering, but also a reminder, prompting the agitation or change of the character's mood.
