Six circles, one triangle

The story is exactly the type I like. Several people with different personalities, without any utilitarian purpose, came together, and each showed their abilities to protect the safety of the villagers. The process of finding the samurai, the process of the samurai being accepted by the villagers, and the process of arranging the battle situation to train the villagers and fighting the bandits are all so exciting. I have to admire Akira Kurosawa’s ability to control the narrative rhythm of the film. There is always a particularly relaxing moment when the audience is most nervous. An emergency suddenly appears when the audience is most relaxed, speeding up the narrative speed. In this way, tight, loose, fast and slow, making the rhythm of the whole film highly in line with people's viewing psychology.

But what I like the most is the completely different and extremely vivid personalities of the seven of them:

as the captain of the Kanbingbei, he is stable, sophisticated, and compassionate, and shows the captain’s courage everywhere. It is also the most important thing for the formation of the seven samurai. Character:

Katsushiro, known as the "child", is the worst in martial arts, but also the most innocent and straightforward one. The only love story in the film happened to him. He is really a child, so innocent and cute;

Goro Bing Wei, one of the samurai who walked all over the street, I think, Kanbingbei chose him because he saw his kindness and amiability. I like him first after listening to Kanbingbei's words. He grinned and said: Give it a try...Actually, I was attracted by your character. I think the deepest friendship in life may be obtained by accident. It’s really hard not to appreciate his friendship and frank character;

Shichiro, because he is an old subordinate of Kanbingbei, has accepted the entrustment of his predecessor without hesitation. When he replied with a frank and knowing smile, "This The next mission may lead to death but not necessarily.” The kind of loyalty and mutual trust between old friends no longer need words;

Pingba is my favorite among the seven. His image first appeared in the mouth of the teahouse owner. When I saw this guy who was a bit simple and honest in a plum pattern shirt and bamboo leaf pattern trousers, I couldn’t help but fall in love with him. He was already, plus his bewildered expression when he saw someone staring at him chopping firewood, and his surprised look when he heard that thirty bandits were about to be killed. He was really cute. Goro, who found him, thought that he was optimistic and would be a good companion. He had hoped that "when the battle is hardest, let him cheer up." He didn't expect Heihachi to be the first to lose his life among the seven because of his kindness. But he couldn't help but grabbed Liji, who rushed to the wife who was given to the bandit, and was shot deadly. I cried very sadly at the time because I really liked this samurai who always made everyone happy and always willing to listen to others' thoughts;

Jiuzang, among the seven, was the most silent, self-directed, and perhaps the strongest in martial arts. Always acting alone, but always able to solve tasks that others seem to be extremely dangerous and difficult, I want Toshiro to look at him with admiration and say: "You are really amazing, I have always wanted to tell you" When, the only smile he showed up shows that his feelings have been touched, I think, maybe he is the samurai among the seven who has seen the goal and the mission is the most persistent and serious, so no matter for swordsmanship, It is still so serious and determined for this task that is not fame and fortune;

Finally, it is Kiku Chiyo. After seeing Toshiro Mifune’s name in the opening movie, I have been looking for the face of the famous actor that I have only seen once, and I was really surprised when I saw him appear: I didn’t expect that this time he would act like this. He is full of shortcomings and loves to be clever, so he is also the most vivid and lively such a lovely samurai. He is the character who carries the most jokes in the film. He is always happy, jumping around. He is the happiest to see the enemy, but when he sees the uniforms that the villagers take off the dead warriors, there is Such a strong reaction. Who could have imagined that such a person would actually be carrying the identity of an orphan? He loves to drink. He is very happy to see women in the village. He follows six people like a rascal, but when the six of them cannot be accepted by the villagers, he wants to ring the alarm to let the villagers realize the importance of warriors. At the most critical moment of the battle, he wanted to Leaving his post to get the enemy's clothes, he cheated and snatched a gun-he really looked rascal, but he was indeed a little clever. At the same time, when Pingba died, he yelled to keep everyone from crying, and rushed into the house to carry a flag made by Pingba to inspire the world and put it on the roof; after finally being shot, he still struggled to move towards The enemy who fired a sword stabbed him to death, but he fell down and never stood up.

I thought there would be no casualties among the seven people, but only three remained. I remember the teacher said that the reason why "Seven Samurai" is so high in art history is because of its artistic unification of the beginning and the end, and the sublimation of the ending. At the end, the villagers who killed the bandits beat their drums and sang songs to start new farming, while the three warriors looked at the four graves with solemn expressions and said this sentence: We still failed in the end. It was the villagers who won, but we still lost.

Maybe it's because I don't understand Japanese samurai culture itself. I was deeply moved by this sentence, but I couldn't understand its meaning. I am thinking that in life, what is meaningful is what it does. When you have paid a lot or even your life for an event, it may also be a question whether the event is worth such a large price. Without gaining fame and fortune, even these beneficiary villagers were eventually forgotten in the corner of their lives. Is it true that what they did desperately with a kind of samurai spirit is greater than the value of life itself? Maybe sometimes, what a person has given and sacrificed in his life is still nothingness in the end.

In fact, what I like is this kind of collective story, just as I like Team Work. Looking at seven people with different personalities, but together with the same group of people as the enemy, fighting for one goal, spending the hardships of fighting together, and sharing a little happiness together, is really a great thing. Just like when I watched "Five Sumo Wrestlers" in class a few days ago, the five youths who were vigorous and vigorous, on the sumo wrestling ring, seemed to be one body, sweating together for victory, their hearts were connected. together. So in the end it was a little sad to see that the five people were on their own. At the same time, in a group, the rich personality of each person is also the most worthy of experience and taste. There is too much fun in it.

I like this movie very much. I think I will remember the flag of the Seven Samurai: six circles, sum, and a triangle. Seven people, fighting side by side, together.
