What survived this time is warmth and hope

A ballad performed at the folk fire festival gave the princess insight, and a monologue that the princess sent out before the disaster raised the realm of the whole film.

It was a folk song like the Chinese Book of Songs: human life burns with fire. The life of the worm was thrown into the fire. The more I think about it, the more I feel that this is a dark world. Floating like a dream, go crazy.

When the general Zhenbi pleaded guilty for not protecting the princess, the princess was contented and joyful: "No, Zhenbi, I am very happy. It is hard to enjoy the happiness palace these days. I saw the real world and saw it with my own eyes. To the beauty and ugliness of the world, thank you, I die without regrets." I

can definitely believe that I have seen the real world and I can die without regrets.

In the end, the princess, the general, the servant wife, and the defiant generals did not die, the fire of the restoration was preserved, and the corresponding kindness, loyalty, and beauty also survived. This result retains some warmth and hope, unlike Kurosawa Akira's other "The bad sleep well" (The bad sleep well), which gives people a dark and repressive result: justice is not done, evil and corruption dominate. The world.

    The horse battle and the spear duel that followed, completely put the climax to the front, without the "Force destroying the Death Star" style ending that Lucas did later, and the rescue of the last retainer who defected was more inclined to Westernized thinking. The heroine Mizo Uehara, who was favored by Dongbao, played six or seven films in two years, and retired on the grounds of "insufficient talent". I don't know what happened.

    After "Rashomon", Akira Kurosawa's subtle insight into human nature is another playful work.

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!
