I spent more than 2 hours in front of the computer screen. From being at a loss to the subject, I found that this blockbuster is not a general attraction, it is different from the usual Hollywood blockbusters (the handsome guys and the beauties add action, and then at the end, Flavoring agent-tell you a simple spiritual theme), it slowly reveals the culture he is promoting with the flow of the plot, yes, it is the Japanese Bushido culture, the Bushido culture in the early Meiji period, It is also the essence of Japanese culture.
This is a story about a veteran who has experienced war torment and is attracted by Japanese culture, and then integrates into it, and completes a classic cultural assimilation. This is the power of culture. The memory of the veteran slaughtering Indians on the battlefield tortured his dazed thoughts. God has long been the object of his doubts, but an accidental opportunity was also a life-or-death choice. He was taken to a small village in Japan, where harmony was found. And the peaceful life of a small farmer slowly attracted this veteran. The spirit of Bushido made him from curiosity to attraction, and then fully integrated into it. He learned the spiritual and physical training, and used it to smooth the void of the mind. It is not the existence of a god, or the salvation of a religion, but a spiritual persistence.
As said at the end of the film, we once imagined a rich and powerful country. We had airplanes, artillery and warships, and suits, but we must not forget what we are and where we come from. Perhaps, we have also begun to re-examine our culture and absorb the much-needed spirit in our hearts from the essence of culture. The abundance and deprivation of the material world have plunged us into a spiritual emptiness. Moral inaction is self-evident. The lack of integrity, the fascination with money, and the indulgence of carnal desires all materialize the West. The side effects brought about, the loss of life has made us driven by desire to do what we should not do.
We need this kind of spirit. Inheriting five thousand years of spiritual civilization is a good medicine that we should explore. We have hundreds of schools of thought. In the turbulent era two thousand years ago, our ancestors explored the material world and the spiritual world, and at that time , Western Europe represented by modern technology is still the era of barbarians. The social turmoil a hundred years ago made us discard the consciousness of cultural inheritance. Now the spiritual emptiness of society urgently needs us to pick it up again.
