Idealism meets reality

Randi 2022-04-24 07:01:25

I'm not a professional film person, and I'm too embarrassed to give a long speech. Watching the full movie makes me feel that in the face of social development, any individual or any doctrine is insignificant, and no matter how powerful a samurai sword is, it can't resist a musket cannon.

However, the inheritance of spirit is not the same as the replacement of realism. If a spirit is inspiring, then it will be passed down. In reflection on these things, I also feel more and more about some things, ordinary people The spirit that is willing to promote and spread is often true, good and beautiful, and once politics is added to it, it is extremely ugly.

Qingbingwei's life is actually beautiful, he insisted on his ideals, and there is a beauty like Miyazawa Rie who loves him, this is also the beautiful vision of many people, but the persistence of ideals is often just the general routine of the ruling class, Qingbingwei should really join the Meiji Restoration. His thinking is advanced, but he can't join because he is also loyal, so contradictory, isn't this the same as everyone in reality? Everyone wants to do their best to fight, but they are afraid that they will lose all their money and will not be able to pay their social security, so they have been enduring stupid leaders and stupid companies. In fact, it is really unnecessary. You have to work hard, because the days of hard work are not necessarily lower than the days of work, right, haha!

    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.

    At the end of the curtain, an office worker with a sword, a monthly salary of fifty stone, a wooden sword without a sharp edge, returning home early in the sunset, Qingbingwei at dusk, happy for three years

The Twilight Samurai quotes

  • 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.

  • Zenemon Yogo: So they sent you...

    Seibei Iguchi: Zenemon Yogo, by order of the clan, I come for your life. Draw your sword, please.

    Zenemon Yogo: [Intoxicated] Have a drink? I know you're all keyed up, but I'm going to run.

    Seibei Iguchi: Run?

    Zenemon Yogo: Yep. I want you to let me get away. If you please.

    Seibei Iguchi: I didn't expect that fromt he clan's best one-sword man. My orders are to kill you. I can't let you escape.

    Zenemon Yogo: Don't be so impatient, you can kill me at anytime. I'd like to talk to you. Have a seat. It's a nice day.
