The trilogy of the movie "Miyamoto Musashi" is a work directed by the famous Japanese director Hiroshi Inagaki in the 1950s. It tells the story of Miyamoto Musashi's growth from a commoner to a great samurai. The film begins to introduce the background of the time when Musashi lived, and the humble birth of Musashi. The first part mainly tells the story of Musashi being persecuted by the villagers and the government after failing to join the army as a samurai, befriended Atong and Zawaan, and was relieved or enlightened by them. The second part is about Musashi's constant duels under the guidance of Sawaan, and the practice of his heart and swordsmanship under the guidance of Honami Koetsu and Haiyu Yoshino. The third part is about the conflict and duel between him and Kojiro.
I have to say that the characterization in this movie is very national, stubborn, and courageous. These two characteristics are vividly expressed in the characters in the movie. Looking at the head of Yupachi’s old mother who is going to Shin Musashi with a sword, Zhu Shi finally forced Atong to a duel in order to get Musashi. At the same time, the Yoshioka Dojo, the general teacher, the trivial things that people who care about their names have done in order to protect their honor, you have to be afraid of Japan as a nation. When the director was creating this movie, it was when Japan was waiting to be reborn after World War II. Obviously, the author wanted to motivate the people through the film "Miyamoto Musashi". We did not fail. We were just practicing. Progress, we will still win in the future. Look at the current Japan can successfully enter the ranks of developed countries, it is not without reason. From this point of view, we should still have admiration for Japan. This nation is really kind.
When we are watching this movie now, we should also watch it with an inspirational attitude and learn from Musashi.

Samurai I: Musashi Miyamoto quotes

  • [Takuan leads Takezo to a stairway in Himeji castle leading to an attic, where Otsu is supposedly waiting. Takezo gives Takuan a look of verification, and sees Takuan's encouraging expression. Takezo rushes up to the attic to look for Otsu, but she's not there. Takuan shuts the door to the attic. Takezo rushes to the door and pounds on it]

    Musashi Miyamoto (Takezo): Takuan! Priest Takuan!

    Takuan Osho: She is safely sheltered near Hanada bridge.

    Musashi Miyamoto (Takezo): Damn you! You dirty lying rogue!

    [In a panic, Takezo rushes to the window. Outside there is nothing but lofty shingled roofs. He would break his neck trying to climb out. He pulls on the thick wooden window bars but they won't come loose. Takezo rushes back to the door, pounds on it and tries to pull it open]

    Musashi Miyamoto (Takezo): Open up! Open the door!

    Takuan Osho: Takezo. This room is yours for some time. Otsu will wait.

    Musashi Miyamoto (Takezo): You're lying. She's alone!

    Takuan Osho: She will wait. In those books are many of the things you need. After you master them, I will see you again. Farewell.

    [Takezo sinks to a sitting position, then collapses to the floor and cries uncontrollably]

  • Takuan Osho: The world is vast and boundless. Be steadfast.
