It's just a little thought triggered by the classic duel scene at the end of the movie...

Good movies always have amazing scenes, such as the scene of Andy stretching out of prison in the rain in "Shawshank's Redemption", such as the scene of the girl in red under the black and white mirror image in "Schindler's List", For example, the scene where Ma Junior was beheaded in "The Devil Is Coming", and the scene where Tsubaki Sankuro and Muroto Hanbei confronted each other in the last scene in "Tsubaki Sankuro". This scene is a classic. It was about ten seconds before the opponent was killed by the last knife! That blood, it was sprayed out like a broken water pipe... When I watched Kitano Takeshi’s "Zatoichi", I was secretly applauded by the deadly and bloody violent scene of the blind man and Gennosuke Hattori in a duel, but I didn’t expect it. It turned out to be "Tsubaki Sanuro" inherited from Akira Kurosawa. We can’t say that Kitano has learned from Akira Kurosawa secretly. The culture and art itself has the characteristics of inheritance and development, and the movie is the same. It should be said that Kitano has inherited the cultural characteristics of Japan very well. In addition, Quentin is even more different. The local film culture draws nourishment and further develops it, forming a unique Quentin film feature. Due to my limited reading, I only know that Takeshi Kitano inherited Akira Kurosawa, but I don't know from whom Akira Kurosawa inherited it. From the perspective of story and narrative, the film is very close to "Intentional Stick". Many people say that the film is a sequel to "Intentional Stick" or a reprint, but many people think that the achievement of "Intentional Stick" is much higher than that of the film. I think it is only because of this scene that the film can be compared with "Intentional Stick", which makes the film unique from "Intentional Stick". However, having said that, the two films are really too similar, but not like a person looking in a mirror, just like two twins.

  • Sanjûrô Tsubaki: He was just like me. A drawn sword that wouldn't stay in its sheath. But, you know, the lady was right. The best sword is kept in its sheath. You'd better stay in yours.
