The value of human nature in the torrent of the times

Individual happiness depends on the era in which one lives, then society, and then family. And era, society, or family, are all people can't choose. Kenshin, Ba, and Qingli are all chess pieces used by the era and society, but when they can choose their own happiness, they are affected by the original family. constraints. Kenshin was the biggest victim of that era. He was probably the lowest peasant in the shogunate society. Since the fall of the curtain, Kenshin, a child, became an exiled refugee. His parents were also killed by the shogunate samurai in the troubled times. Later, he witnessed the death of his refugee sister who was traveling with him by the sword of the samurai class. The sword was blocked by his sister who had just met for a day. A five-year-old child has experienced the process of tearing apart the truth, goodness and beauty of human nature many times, and this direct initiator is the shogunate, so he puts all his hatred on the shogunate. Fortunately, he met Hikaru, who gave him the name "Ken-shin", and he made Kenshin grow into a powerful samurai. Unfortunately, he met Hikaru, who saved Jianxin's life, but could not heal Jianxin's heart. Fifteen-year-old Jianxin has the ability to summon blood and rain, but he can't see clearly. He said that he hopes to change an era, and perhaps his ideal is only from revenge. Bigu tried to stop him and prevent him from stepping into the torrent of troubled times, in essence, he was afraid that Kenshin would be used by the class struggle and eventually hurt himself. In the end, Jianxin not only hurt himself, he killed the husband of the person he loved the most, the shogunate was broken, and the once proud samurai became a vagabond. The new government that Jianxin personally supported, but he was forgotten.

"Watching the cherry blossoms in the spring, the stars in the summer, the full moon in the autumn, and the first snow in the winter. In this situation, how can wine be unpleasant to drink? If you still feel unpleasant to drink, it proves that you have something wrong. You will understand wine one day. Let's taste the delicious bar together!" I only understood when I saw the movie for the third time. Jian Xin doesn't know what is Fengyue or what is life. His eyes are blinded by hatred, and his eyes are always looking at the prey like a leopard. Bhigu is a wise man. He saw that people who are drifting with the wind in troubled times are always easy to take advantage of. He knows such a world and obliterates the original desire of human nature, leaving only conceptual slogans.

When Jianxin met Ba, the softest and most primitive desire in his personality was revealed, and Jianxin became a complete person. At this time, Jianxin tasted the deliciousness of wine. Ba is undoubtedly a tragic figure caused by the contradiction between the "superego" and the "id". The "superego" is mainly a series of moral systems formed by the education of the original family, and in society, the family is strictly subject to the class system. restricted. Ba comes from a low-ranking samurai family, so she grew up to be a virtuous, capable, forbearing woman with the scent of white plums. She is a traditional woman who grew up in a feudal society and has no courage to cross the moral system. When her personal happiness goes against her inherent morality, she chooses to sacrifice herself to fulfill her morals and emotions.

In another era, Ba may have said, "I can plant your favorite small round white radishes with you next to the hut in the mountain in Xiaoli, and I can go with you to the mountains to pick up the newly grown herbs, and then walk on foot. To sell in town, you can snuggle with you in a hut full of night snow and drink a little sake by the fire. I think we wipe the floor every day to reflect our faces, and if the winter is long, we can try to eat as little as possible. Although such a day is poor, no one can blame it." But they were not so lucky, Ba's class and Kenshin's class are opposed, and one day, tragedy will be born.

Kiyosato, the pressure caused by the impact of real society on personal life, and what an honor it is to shine on the lintel, this traditional thought is deeply rooted. As a low-level samurai, he devoted himself to the class struggle. Although he knew that his swordsmanship was mediocre, he was still full of ambition, but he just wanted to start a family and give his wife a better environment. It's a pity that Qingli didn't understand Ba's needs, even if Guangyao's lintel lost Qingqing's life and ruined Ba's life. Rangba has also become a pawn in class struggle. When he can choose happiness, he bears the moral burden of betrayal and even betrayal of his family.

Kenshin, Ba, Kiyosato. Both are victims of the times, manipulated into absurd fates. What Jianxin killed was just a stubborn struggler of the old forces, but he didn't know that this struggler, serving the old forces, was for personal happiness.

This struggler, in addition to being an old force warrior, he is also a responsible man, he is a husband and son in a family, and his efforts are for the honor of the family.

What Kenshin didn't even know was that in addition to being a gentle woman, she was also the daughter of a shogunate family and the wife of a struggler of the old forces.

Ba also didn't know that besides being a husband-killing enemy, Jianxin was also a tormented child.

When looking at a person's identity in a single way, it is often one-sided, but the most fundamental beauty of human nature is eternal. Regardless of class background, Kenshin is simple, Ba is simple, and Qingsato is also simple. However, such simplicity has no place in the class struggle, and such simplicity is the source of self-inflicted cocooning in the intertwined fate.
The profound meaning of this film is that only by exploring the root of human nature can the class struggle disappear, and the wheel of fate cannot crush the pure heart, because every class in this society is composed of people.

But the truth is easy to say, since the root of human nature can only be explored, what is the root of class struggle? This question is worth pondering.
