Farmers’ inferiority is actually due to the bad system.

Kurosawa portrays the Japanese farmers too badly, greedy, selfish, timid, lustful, cunning and tough.

When Qiuyue Kingdom was destroyed, a general, Xia Bi, fleeing with his father, met two farmers on the road and forced them to help escape. Later, a woman who bought a woman from Qiuyue Kingdom, a group of subjugated people began to flee. Catch it, the princess saw the real world and realized that the people are the most important and the second is the emperor, which is a bit of primitive democratic thinking.

Finally, he finally impressed the generals of the enemy country and turned his back to help the princess escape successfully! The peasants were still empty-handed, and they had agreed to live in peace, but when they saw the gold, they would see benefits and forget the righteousness. The peasants had limited vision and were short-sighted.

But after seeing the general and the princess in the end, the two finally realized the principle of peaceful coexistence after receiving the reward, because they finally benefited from doing something to help others, and this spirit of altruism developed in their hearts. This is a rigorously structured movie. There is no waste scene, and it is worth learning many times.

    2.5 Kurosawa is really boring to take the emperor to be okay. It's boring to use the peasants to shake it off. Not to mention, the level of the game is not even a climax, which is out of standard.

    This film allowed me to see the most primitive model of the current commercial film. The actor of Qiuyueguo is really vivid, lively and willful but not superficial and perverse. The whole story revolves around her. This fictional princess of the Warring States period is lifelike. , makes people forget all the criticisms of the plot, but they can't forget her figure.

The Hidden Fortress quotes

  • Tahei: Uh...

    [He realizes Matashichi is about to speak, and tries to let him speak, but Matashichi wordlessly urges, 'No, you first!']

    Tahei: What... are you doing here in the mountains?

    General Rokurota Makabe: What about you?

    Tahei: [stunned] Us? We intend to cross... the border.

    General Rokurota Makabe: The border?

    [Matashichi nods]

    Matakishi: We want to go to Hayakawa.

    General Rokurota Makabe: Hayakawa? But beyond the mountains it's Yamana.

    [Tahei and Matashichi briefly exchange glances and both stand up]

    Tahei: [nervously] Yes... but you see...

    [Tahei crouches, and begins to draw in the dirt with a stick]

    Tahei: t-to go to H-Hayakawa... this is Hayakawa... and this is...

    [He continues to draw on his diagram]

    Tahei: Akizuki where we are now.

    [He draws another picture of a plot of land]

    Tahei: This is Yamana. Yamana, see? We want to go from, uh, Akizuki to Hayakawa. But the border is guarded by Yamana soldiers. So, uh, we'll cross first into Yamana right there, and then slip into Hayakawa. See...

    [He glances at Matashichi]

    Matakishi: See... there's no way that the survivors of the Akizuki clan would go to Yamana, the enemy territory. So, uh, the border between Akizuki and Yamana... should be open.

    [Tahei laughs nervously]

    Tahei: That's right, that's right. Th-the Hayakawa-Yamana border, uh, should be easy to cross, than the, uh, Akizuki-Hayakawa border.

    [He and Matashichi nod in agreement]

    Tahei: Anyway, we're just peasants. Even if anything happened we'd still make it.

    [Rokurota bursts out laughing]

    General Rokurota Makabe: All right, I've made up my mind. Going through Yamana is a good idea.

  • Matakishi: We can't go home like this.

    Tahei: Then strip that dead guy.

    Matakishi: Huh? I may be desperate, but I ain't a thief.

    Tahei: Do what you want. I'm getting out of here!

    [Tahei starts to limp off down the road]

    Matakishi: Go on, then. I'll catch up to you after I make a buck.

    Tahei: Don't come crying to me, then!

    [He scoffs]

    Tahei: You'll caught again and be digging graves! You'll see!

    [Matashichi picks up dust and throws it at Tahei]

    Matakishi: Damn you! Go on, get! It'll be a blessing to see you go!

    [Tahei scoffs again]

    Matakishi: You shitworm!
