(My crappy essay review two years ago)
Director's profile: I always think that Kubrick and Kurosawa are both hall-level directors who can handle all types of films. Among them, I personally like Kurosawa better. Spielberg once said that Kurosawa is a movie. Shakespeare in the world, Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou in China, as well as the big directors Martin Scorsese, Francis Coppola, and George Lucas are all fans of him (Kurosawa Akira). "Inspired Coppola to shoot the greatest gangster film "The Godfather", and his "Warring States Heroes" inspired Lucas to shoot the largest classic IP "Star Wars" series in the history of science fiction movies. He (Kurosawa Akira) He is a great master among the great masters, and even the Tokyo Film Festival has to set up a "Kurosawa Akira Award". Foreword: Kurosawa Akira, who is regarded as a god-level director by the majority of movie fans, was born in a samurai family, so he has forged an indissoluble bond with the samurai spirit throughout his life. In 1954, he (Kurosawa Akira) ushered in his own The pinnacle of his career-"Seven Samurai". After the movie was released, the whole world started a craze for samurai movies. Kurosawa also made many samurai movies later, but the most outstanding ones are "Seven Samurai", "Kagemusi", and "Chaos". The industry refers to these three films of Akira Kurosawa as the "Samurai Trilogy." "Seven Samurai" is a tribute to the spirit of the samurai, "Kagemusi" is an elegy to the spirit of the dead samurai, and "Chaos" It is a reflection on the fate of the samurai. The protagonist of this article is the greatest samurai film, the highest masterpiece in the history of Japanese cinema-"Seven Samurai". One year, my reading volume has probably increased by more than 500, but this "Seven Samurai" is still my favorite film and television work, I can only say: there is no one that can play. Synopsis: During the Warring States Period in Japan, in a mountain village full of desolate mountains and rivers, every year when the wheat is harvested, it will be attacked by robbers. On this day, the villagers decided to hire seven samurai to defend their village and harvest. The seven samurai were defeated retired veterans: Kanbei, Sword Master: Kuzo, Kanbei: Katsushiro, Chivalrous man: Katayama, comrade-in-arms: Shichiro, wood-cutting warrior: Heihachi, and farmer posing as a samurai: Kiku Chiyo. He has rich experience in scouting and guarding operations, and he is responsible for commanding the entire village to prepare for defense. During the raid on the robber’s nest, the samurai killed several robbers, but the samurai Heihachi was shot to save the farmer Liji. The samurai and the villagers held shovel and bamboo spear in their hands and defended the village, cleverly repelling the robber's attacks, but died in the resistance Nakakatayama. On the day of the decisive battle, thirteen robbers rushed into the village on horseback. During the fight, the robber leader hid in the house and hit Kuzo with a firecracker. Kikuchiyo rushed into the house with anger and hatred and successfully pierced the heart of the robber leader. But he was shot and fell to the ground and died. Robber finally got All were wiped out, and the villagers and warriors also paid a great price. The seven warriors eventually killed four, leaving four samurai swords that pierced into the sky on the grave. At the end of the film, director Kurosawa Akira injected a very strong human thinking. After the war, the laughter of the farmers and the taciturn of the three surviving warriors formed a sharp contrast. Kanbingbei looked at the happy villagers and said: " This time it can be regarded as defeated. The real victory is the group of villagers.” Then the three warriors left the village silently, looking for the next village that needs to be protected. In the end, the only thing left for the group of farmers was that set up. The four graves on the mountain, and the four samurai swords that stand on the graves. Conclusion: As the masterpiece of Akira Kurosawa, "Seven Samurai" is still as wonderful as ever.
