Produced by Kurosawa Akira in 1954. Infuriated, warm and hearty. Was marked as the best film in the history of Japanese cinema. The samurai spirit is publicized, but the peasants are the final winners. Just like a fly is better than an elephant. Toshiro Mifune is an impressive and interesting character, and the movie would have faded without him. Shimura Bridge, a man with great wisdom and great compassion. "I won't spoil this bowl of white rice." "Good tactics need a gap. We will lose if we completely defend ourselves." Here, we see the spirit of the chivalrous spirit praised by Li Bai's "Xing Ke Xing". Go with your clothes, hide your body and name deeply. In the end, Shimura Bridge and his partner left, and the farmers happily planted rice seedlings in the fields, as if victory had nothing to do with the samurai who paid the price of their lives. Four warriors died in the battle to defend the village, all just for renewing their promises. They joined the group only because of Shicunqiao’s personality and willingness to fight side by side with such people. After the defeat, Japan in the 1950s needed such bloody entertainment movies.
The nation of chrysanthemums and knives. There is a magnificent beauty to life and death. Whoever settles down, who is closer to wisdom. I was very disgusted with Akira Kurosawa's "August Rhapsody" in his later years in college, thinking that it exaggerated the pain of the nation. Now I abandon this narrow mindset. Appreciation of the Japanese culture and political patriotism are compatible. The less obstruction, the more real beauty can be seen. "Seven Samurai" is a fantasia of agricultural civilization.
