The fight for beauty has since kicked off. Tashiro, the team member who was entered in the same period, crazily fell in love with Ghana. When he first joined the team, when he asked why Ghana joined the new selection team, Ghana lowered his head and smiled. No one knows fate, and Tashiro doesn't know. The astonishing beauty of this indifferent young man is sharper than the sword in his hand. It will be the burial place of his love and resentment. The first temptation was rejected, and Tashiro did not give up; in order to watch Ghana perform the decapitation knife technique, he rushed into the field and was confined for five days. After his release, Tashiro met his sweetheart in the corridor. He said, "Oops, I kept calling Ghana Ghana while in custody." Ghana knowingly asked "Is it for help?" Tashiro said, "I miss you, can't you?" Ghana With a smile, Tashiro said, "Is it ridiculous? Is it lonely? I'm going to see you tonight." At this moment, Tashiro, who is rough and unkempt, looks more tender than the beautiful Ghana. At night, Tashiro went to find Ghana, but Ghana put a knife on his neck. Ghana said, "Should I call for you?" Tashiro said, "It's okay to call, but I must have sex with you before I die."-These conversations It's really cute. I wrote it down because it is one of the most beautiful love words I have ever heard. Only a man to a man can say so simply.
The nature of the relationship between the two is explained with a subtitle,-"Ghana avoids Tashiro. Indeed, he is very charming. At the age of eighteen, he still has Liuhai. He seems to welcome the admirer. It is better to say that Tashiro is too pitiful." . "Poor" is the label of Tashiro's love. In the injury scene between Ghana and Personality, Tashiro rushed to the stretcher and said loudly, "I am by your side, Ghana, I am very worried about you!" Everything, love is too hard to end, but the other is merciful everywhere, with collateral in his heart. I think this is also a manifestation of "violent aesthetics", emotional violence, the lover will always bear it silently, unable to speak of its suffering. In the film, another person who feels like a divorce is Okita. On weekdays, he sits on the ridge and watches the children playing, enjoying himself. He seems to be unaware of all the love and hatred surrounding Ghana. When he sees the last, he knows, —— Innocent people know the most and cruelest in their hearts, both in Ghana and Okita. In any case, Tashiro got Ghana and eventually died under his sword, which is considered to be fulfilling his promise. A mortal must die, and there is nothing to regret to pay for the beloved. I love you, this is my business, as for whether you love me or not, it is your business, it has nothing to do with me-this is the true love position, and it is also a helpless choice when you can’t get along with each other. .
There was another seducer and victim Yuzawa who died by the sword of Ghana. The weight of Ghana's murderousness can be seen in its near-perfect performance when he was ordered to perform the first killing mission when he first joined the team. At that time, Kondo praised: "very courageous!" And the more delicate earthworker thought, "No, it has nothing to do with courage, there seems to be something else..." Regarding the motive for joining the team, Ghana later admitted that he was "capable of killing people." , But there seems to be something else too. What he wanted should be the satisfaction of a perverted erotic desire brought about by the killing, and the pleasure of conquering between different admirers. In this way, Shinsengumi was indeed the best choice. The tragedy of Ghana's life is half an internal tragedy and half an external tragedy. His previous experience is unknown, but at least he knows his pathological hobby of lust and death; on the other hand, the environment of Xinsengumi and the attitude of the people around him to regard him as prey all the time cannot escape the blame. As an "insider" of the law, Ghana is also outside because of the leader's preference and connivance. This contradictory situation is a great stimulus and encouragement to his heart. What is not available is the favorite, and the favorite is also the worst. Ghana is like a beautiful boy in the legend, and finally fell into a pond of lust and narcissism that he once looked forward to.
The movie is called "Yufadu", which means legal system and rules; "Yu" contains the meaning of controlling and breaking down. Together, "Yufadu" has become a taboo since it surpasses and surpasses the legal system. Shinsengumi’s "Fadu" written in cursive on the wall of the Shinsengumi barracks. Under the beautiful calligraphy, the word "death" is hidden one after another.—In Tashiro's words, "The law in the game seems to be taken for granted, and the military discipline is indeed. Severe... you can't afford to have nine lives." The law is set up to maintain the normal operation of the organization. It only resorts to ruthless facts and does not consider individual requirements and feelings. The harshness of its moral principles, as Whitehead pointed out, is based on "irresistible On the basis of the concept of destiny-the central theme of ancient Greek tragedies. But the law itself is a very strange thing. If you abide by it, it means there is nothing. Only the punishment of destruction and destruction can truly show its true value. Under a strange tacit understanding, the procedures of Shinsengumi seemed to be intact, but everyone knew in their hearts that, as a form of mutual agreement, it was already under the poisonous smile and groan of Ghana. It's torn apart, but no one can explain it.
But a vase, fragmented from the inside, will finally expand to its visible outside. When the Ghanaian affair has become more involved and affects the military's mind, a two-phase disconnection becomes an inevitable ending. This is also the most poignant and confusing scene in the whole play. As the dueling supervisor, Okita and Tumo first appeared on the stage. Okita told the Tumo a ghost story of the "chrysanthemum alliance". The meaning of the drunkard is not about drinking, but the topic that the new writers silently allows from top to bottom-male sex. That is an allowed taboo, and the Turkish side does not admit it or deny it. Even then, the game has its own rules. When Ghana killed Tashiro and Okita turned and left, Ghana eventually died under Okita's knife. The earthwork suddenly realized-"Okita, it is not that you like Ghana, but Ghana likes you."-Ask what love in the world is, Calling life and death promise? The suspicion and confusion about all this, the human feelings are as good as earthwork, and he can't explain it. He only attributed it to weak fatalism-"The guy in Ghana is too beautiful. Under the man's tricks, he was caught by the monster." At the end of the film, the earthwork drew a knife out of its sheath, and with a blow, a cherry blossom tree fell to the ground, all the dark thoughts of the dust and the dark fell like rain, and the branches, flowers and leaves trembled.
Each story has its own internal logic, which is not transferred by humans. The works of the three ancient Greek tragedies Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides, in their imagination, forced a tragic event to an inevitable ending. For the ancient Greeks, destiny was not a specific god, but an irresistible abstract force. This is also true in this story. Tashiro must die, Yuzawa must die, and Ghana must die. Each of them is empty in martial arts, but their emotions and actions are so weak and blind. Rather than turning a blind eye to the "internal laws", they listen more to the call of their hearts. That is the real "laws"-the laws of heaven, the arrangement of destiny in the dark.
The ancient Greek philosopher Democritus surprisingly predicted long before the formation of modern physics insights: "According to the usual sayings, there are sweet and bitter, hot and cold. According to the usual sayings, there are colors. In fact, There are only atoms and voids."-The history behind this story can be confirmed. Apart from Ghana, the characters in this film all have real historical figures as prototypes. Shinsengumi is known as Rensheng Wolf, the original Ronin team, a special samurai group established by the shogunate to fight against the reformists, maintain their rule, and strengthen the defense of Kyoto. It was established in the third year of Wenjiu (1863 AD), and during the most turbulent 7 years of the reformation of the political situation, it fought a bloody battle for the rule of the shogunate. However, no matter how good the swordsmanship is, the pace of history cannot be reversed. In the third year of Baoying (1869), the Tokugawa shogunate was defeated by the emperor's army. The samurai era was over and Japan embarked on a modernization journey. Isamu Kondo was executed, Suzuzo and Inohara Saburo were killed in battle, Okita died of illness, and Shinsengumi disbanded and surrendered after the death of the veteran. Only seven years after its establishment, Shinsengumi pulled its curtain down. Although the experience of Shinsengumi was only enough to become a sigh in history, its team has always been the strongest samurai group in Japanese history. Oshima Nagisa’s unique perspective and beautiful and wild interpretation seem to be without a trace. Against the bleak background of the shogunate period, it exudes a faint fragrance like chrysanthemums, adding a touch of fantasy to the legend of Shinsengumi. The color of sadness.
I personally think that "Mihonado" is better than Oshima Nagisa's other masterpiece "The Senses". After all, the love of men and women is the norm. The innocence and purity of the subject of homosexuality are even more visible. . The cast of this film is also very strong. The most outstanding one is Matsuda Ryuhei. His image is as beautiful as a comic book character. Although he is sick, he can't help but look at it more. Tadanobu Asano, who played the role of Tashiro Tashi, was taken away by Matsuda Ryuhei for most of the limelight. However, with his qualifications and acting skills in "Zatoichi" and other business cards, he is still a handsome model of an Asian man with small eyes and a beard. impressive. As for Takeshi Kitano, who played the role of Earthwork in order to pay for the friendship of Shien, his face that runs through a scar and the twitching smile that appears from time to time makes people think that the most attractive man in the film is actually him, and the others are just blue. It's a young boy.
"Yofado" is the only one that I have not deleted immediately after reading it. This can be regarded as a kind of appreciation. In order to write this film review, I watched the film again. Looking at it again, there are still many sighs. Where are you sober tonight? The willow bank and the wind and the waning moon. The habit of breaking sleeves is as good as Longyang, and it also has it today; but the ancients’ unrestrained attitude and open-mindedness of life and death cannot be learned by modern people anyway. Estimate and listen to the Tang Dynasty band, in the generosity and tragedy of "The wind does not blow away the long hatred/The flower dyes do not pass through the hatred/The snow does not reflect the mountains and rivers/The moon does not fulfill the ancient dreams", with a touch of heartbreak, memories and Remembrance, relive the perfect harmony of chrysanthemum, ancient sword and wine in the past, tranquil and lofty.
