Mt. Fuji painted by Shochiku, with the desolate and slightly sharp voice of shakuhachi, the subtitle background music at the beginning of "Samurai's One Point" is very similar to "Twilight Seibei", and then Kimura's face after watching the drama for many days. .
With this waiting, you will naturally have expectations, but confusion will follow, and you need to call five people to test the poison? In Lenovo and martial arts novels, a silver needle that people who walk around the world carry with them, a silver needle that often appears is enough. Even so, the film still has to be taken care of, but the plot basically did not run out of ideas after Kimura's accident, except for Kimura's suspicion when he practiced his swordsmanship--Is it possible that he has a solid foundation, how can he make such rapid progress? The ending is warmer and less labor-intensive—it's all about that.
"Samurai's Point" is still a lot of daily life, dressing and eating, and a life-and-death confrontation that has become an inevitable development of the plot. Obviously, the protagonist will not fall down easily, and I can't say that it is particularly bad after watching it all the way. It's not right to knock down all of Yamada Yoji's works, and then to compare them is not all hard work in vain.
Takeshi Kitano sneered at Kimura Takuya for a while at Cannes before, and wondered if the image of the blind man he played with had been subverted again, such as the appearance of the most cowardly and incompetent blind man on the screen. But can Yoji Yamada make a blind man? It's hard to think about, so the show of "Samurai's Point" is still a civilian version of the period drama, and Kimura's character does not easily light up the knife as a status symbol except when he can't bear it.
In any case, after watching "Samurai's Point", I intuitively said: it is difficult to catch up with "Twilight Qingbingwei". Qingbingwei is a breakthrough in the theme of civilian samurai, and everything that can be done includes everything from the great era to the The little people come together perfectly. Yamada Yoji's trilogy of period dramas plus "Cicada Rain", a bunch of Fujisawa Shuhei's works have been turned out and filmed, and there is a great potential for sparks to start a prairie fire. Consciously, the expectations for the supporting role of Kaoru Momoi are far inferior to those of veteran movie fans. If there is a bit of lingering voices, it is possible to repeatedly compare the heroines of the three versions of Sanada Hiroyuki, Nagase Masahiro, Kimura Takuya, Miyazawa Rie, Matsutaka and Tanli. difference.
However, Kimura's samurai role is probably the weakest of the three dramas - to say the worse is probably the male protagonist in "Naho Over Flowers", which is also the most completely subversive. How can thinking be so unpromising, after all, the people in Yamada Yoji's works will break out before the bottom line of what they can tolerate, and oblivion in "Naho Over Flowers" is the way to eliminate all hatred.
Yamada Yoji has been cooking for Shochiku for decades. Most of his life and creation can be summed up in a few large series films. Some people joked that in the Tora Jiro series, a man whose appearance is described as wretched by today's people can actually support more than 30 years and 40 years. The movie is really unimaginable.
A more intuitive comparison is that Yamada Yoji clearly stands on the opposite side of Oshima Nagisa, showing a warm civilian life. Nagisa Oshima, who was never honest, had the consequence of his sharp works that he was swept out of the house by Shochiku after sitting for a few years, but Yoji Yamada still painted a gourd and shot the series, and the excitement became Shochiku's signature for decades , I never thought that I would accept it when I saw it. The passionate Oshima Nagisa is cynical and ruthlessly breaks taboos; the loyal Yamada Yoji is always content with the warm and cold happiness of the commoners, never out of line.
People used to describe Hou Hsiao-hsien as forever local and always realistic. In the past 20 years, he has been thinking about changes. In contrast, Yamada Yoji, who guards the East and the world, has only eight words: forever commoner, forever lower class.
