I have been thinking about the name for a long time, but I cannot understand it. From the plot of the movie, it is just a simple revenge story. It's hard to get in touch. Director Yoji Yamada is an awesome guy. Because watching all the reviewers in their bird's-eye-view comments still couldn't help but be in awe of the name. Those of us, because of the director's previous works, dare not neglect. Fame has made this bland and simple film calm and indulgent: the calmness of taking the time to watch and the tolerance and indulgence of the bland.
But after watching it, I have to say that this movie is really awesome, too awesome to be able to speak. For example, it is easy for us to describe the colorful fireworks, but it is not easy to describe the ripples on the calm water and the approaching rain. The stormy seas came, and it was a little powerless. I have the urge to praise it. But knowing the word "good" is good to shout, but when you say in detail, you must have the courage and consciousness to meet the bricks and prepare your head full of bags.
Samurai Sanmura Shinnosuke is a mediocre employee today, working in the name of a white-collar worker in a Fortune 500 company, but in a position that is ashamed to talk about, testing poison for the lord's food. Although my wife thinks that this should be a very cool occupation: you can eat in front of the boss, and have the opportunity to get in touch with the boss. Shinnosuke Mimura is someone who doesn't want to be misunderstood by good intentions. Because he had no chance to get in touch with BOSS at all. Stuck with a few trivial colleagues every day. Waiting to taste the food that was tested for poison, and then discussing each other's opinions, chatting helplessly.
Some people are always unwilling to be content with the status quo, such as us office animals, who live a mediocre life of 9 to 5 with a meager ration of 30 shi, and always imagine some unrealistic things, such as Sancun Xinzhicheng resigning his job , and his wife retired to the mountains to teach their children swordsmanship to make a living. For example, although we have no mountains and forests to retreat to, we also want to play in the market place, and we will be happy for the rest of our lives as long as we don’t look at people’s eyes.
Shinnosuke Mimura's dream is a dream of being laughed at, but his wife, Kasei, doesn't. Ordinary people's wives have countless practical reasons to dissuade men from thinking ridiculous deviations. Shinnoki Mimura lives as usual, tasting the food of the lord and chatting with boring colleagues until one day. A food poisoning that rises to a chemical level brings the peaceful life to an end.
We also have to say now that the life of a young white-collar worker is far less glamorous than people and himself imagined. Many times, the deepest sorrow is that they can't deal with their own disasters with real emotion like ordinary people. The result of Mimura's poisoning is blindness. Just like the current welfare system cannot protect people who are injured at work. In addition to blindness, the pain that Shinnoki Mimura needs to face is unemployment.
At this time, his family played a little role. After a group of parents commended their illustrious past, they expressed their inability to do anything about the status quo. salaried workers. The result of their discussion was to ask Mimura Shinnoki's beautiful wife to seek help. Unfortunately, the person they seek help is a pervert. A shameless supervisor named Shimamura Soya.
From this film, it is found that the Japanese life class is so exactly the same as ours. Can't help but be connected with the same disease. The weakness of the little man leaves only his own physical strength. Fight against this huge real oppression with the strength and weakness.
Although the story ends with a happy revenge, it shows the obviousness and helplessness of the injustice.
Director Yoji Yamada is an oriental master who is proficient in the beauty of insipidity. Just like the tea ceremony, he emphasizes the sorrow but not sadness in the idle heart.
Finally check: "One point" in "Samurai's One Point" refers to dignity and face.
I personally think that a society that emphasizes dignity and face is a harmonious society.
