The textbook of movies, the epitome of Japanese culture

Today, I watched the great "Seven Samurai" with great reverence. After watching it, I still can't feel calm. So there is basically no analysis and evaluation of this word today, it is all my beautiful words. I sometimes wonder whether the movie belongs to the audience or is it artistic? People who walked in the foreword of film art made puzzling, unbelievable art films that have a higher level of understanding of life, reflection on people themselves, and exploration and experimentation of the unknown, all for the artist’s sake. hat? Should you become an art artist or an ordinary, popular artist who makes movies that audiences love to watch? Of course, this issue has been discussed by experts, scholars and enthusiasts since the birth of the film, and I am here to relieve myself of the nonsense. Perhaps the director is more willing to shoot novel themes because the old genres should have been filmed, and there is a mountain like "Seven Samurai" in front of him in each genre. It is really not challenging, because the movie I've all photographed this one, and there is no way to surpass it.

Although from today’s perspective, "Seven Samurai" has many technical deficiencies, the connection between the scenes is sometimes rather blunt, and the soundtrack sounds a bit monotonous, but even if it has many such defects, it does not affect its performance. Great position, because Kurosawa allows us to see his ability to grasp the whole, that is, to insert too many details in such a simple story, every detail looks so familiar, because Kurosawa's descendants We can learn too much nutrition from this movie and only grasp one point to develop it to make a sincere movie. All of these show the unity of the Japanese nation and the strong cultural characteristics of integrity, and the similarities of the Asian region. The conservative concept, the cowardice of the people as ordinary people in the entire human society, the succumbing to power, and the confession of others, see the cowardly temperament in the bones of forgotten righteousness. Then the "Seven Samurai" as a whole made me feel a wonderful harmony and unity.

When someone introduced me to a movie in the past, if someone said that a certain film was a highly accomplished art film, it would not create a sense of distance for me, but when I watch a movie, I will try to go with a particularly tolerant and open mind. I understand the director’s intentions, but I always return to nothing. My conclusion is that my artistic accomplishment, cultural heritage, and ideological level are too low, so I keep watching these kinds of films and related books in the hope that one day I can I have reached the level of discriminating such films. On that day, I can pat my chest and say, “Who, who, and who recommends what movies to me is purely nonsense. He has to be a shit like me, nothing special, and he is not learning and skillful and he is not as honest as me at home, and he is not ashamed to run out to deceive people. "

Thanks to Kurosawa Akira for bringing me close. To me, a toddler who is still on the road of life, said a lot of very profound truths in simple terms. I thank him for inspiring my desire to study and life, and let me see something closer to the truth.
