During the journey, the samurai Mizawa Ibei was trapped
in a small inn full of poor people due to continuous heavy rain. He used the money won in the competition to buy food for everyone,
but he lost his unintentionally obtained high job. .... This film is
the last work of Akira Kurosawa, his mentor, directed by Koizumi Yaoshi, and contains a broad and profound chivalrous
spirit. Sanze Ibei has a good skill, but it has not been
reused for a long time. It is rare for Nagai City Lord to have a discerning eye, but because Ibei
committed a taboo on gambling, he was not allowed to keep it. Sai Weng loses his horse, how can we know the good or the bad. If
Yibingwei really became the great teacher of the city lord, wouldn't the open and secret battles within the shogunate
bind the hero's chivalrous heart; it would be better to wander between heaven and earth
, sharing joy and sorrow with the common people.
The ancient and warm-hearted Yibingwei is not ostentatious,
and even thinks of pawning a samurai sword in order to help the poor to tide over the difficulties. The chivalrous man also had a good and
reasonable wife, who followed her husband on a hike without complaint, and even
scolded the city lord Nagai at a critical moment, so that the wise monarch
personally went out and chased after Ibei, who had been away for a long time. The film ends with
an open-ended ending, which is fascinating.
