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.

    Different from the previous giant system, Kurosawa's narrowed perspective, using the progress of a trivial matter (fleeing) to express the chaos of the Warring States Period and the entangled relationship between countries, the director is too strong, "selling horses and buying women" carefully It's wonderful, the characters stand up quickly in a short period of time, and the chasing and dancing are really shocking. It is said that he waited for a full 100 days for a beautiful Tianqing shot, and the gold content of each scene is evident. (The character who loves the princess the most)

    An important reason why Kurosawa can become a master of film is seriousness. It is an extremely responsible attitude towards movies that allows him to maintain a high level of each film. It is said that the plot of "Warring States Heroes" is not complicated, even a bit like a short story in an ancient Chinese script. But Akira Kurosawa was stunned by expanding what can be said in one sentence into a feature-length feature film with rich meaning and twists and turns. Compared with previous creations, Toshiro Mifune in this movie seems to have completely become a symbol of Akira Kurosawa (although it runs through but loses the richness of the characters), but the real dramatic light is arranged in those two In the farmers, the sense of comedy and human criticism coexist, which fully supports the entertainment quality of the movie. At the same time, Misa Uehara, the actor of Princess Qiuyue, is also quite eye-catching. Nowadays, few actors can do that with the angry and energetic look of King Kong. There are not many lines in this role, but she criticizes and criticizes her humanitarian thoughts. Enriched the Bushido spirit of Rokuro Mabiki in the movie. This film can be regarded as one of the rare supporting roles in Kurosawa's movies that can surpass the protagonist.
