Kurosawa Akira's "Shadow Warrior" is the most beautiful movie I have seen in the first half of this year, leaving me with four words: Immovable as a mountain.
Surge like the wind, Xu Rulin, aggression like fire, immobile like a mountain. This is Takeda Shingen's military creed. No matter how fierce the fight ahead, he must be as stable as Mount Tai.
So three years after Shingen's death, when his son Lai Sheng sent troops, his opponent Oda Nobunaga was excited and shouted, "The mountain moved?!"
This metaphor is very vivid, the mountain moved, the mountain collapsed, and the Takeda family was also defeated. Before his death, Shingen said that it was my life's ambition to plant my banner in Kyoto, but if I die, I shouldn't mention it again. Defend the site and refrain from sending troops within three years. It's a pity that my son is disobedient.
Everyone wants to be a hero, all want to make contributions, Xin Xuan is a hero that opponents and allies will respect. Lai Sheng wanted to surpass his father, but it was a pity that he was too young and naive. Xinxuan knew about his abilities, so he left his last words to guard the site and not send troops. If you do so, the Takeda family can live for a few more years, and maybe they can survive until the opponent makes a mistake, or the grandchildren can appear new handsome talents and win the final victory.
It is a pity that Lai Sheng is young and energetic and eager to achieve a career that can surpass his father, leading to the family's defeat. This is ignorance of one's own abilities, no self-knowledge.
In fact, how much a person can do and how much accomplishment he has, has been decided very early, and that is the character. It is not as stable as Mount Tai, but people who only know that rushing forward are likely to lose their lives.
In the end, ten thousand years is too long, and there are some things that will not happen soon, and they will only happen when the time is up. To live longer than the opponent is also a victory.
