His job is to "test the poison". Before the general's meal, a row of warriors knelt down neatly, each with a pair of chopsticks tied to their waists. The kitchen was busy with work, but in an orderly manner. Dish, they mechanically took out the chopsticks, put the food into the mouth, chewed slowly, and then the old warrior who supervised the test asked: Do you feel uncomfortable? Everyone bows together as acceptance. Another neat line of warriors hurried past in small steps, delivering meals to the general. The day's work of the poison samurai is over.
Mimura felt a little tired of this, although as a samurai he had a decent and status, and even, he had a loyal old servant, who was also a hereditary domestic servant, as a person who is not satisfied with the fate and a little ideal Samurai, Sancun is a ray of sunshine in the whole dark society. He is a samurai who likes to joke and feels depressed about the setting of life. He has a beautiful wife, Kadai, who is not only beautiful, but also has a good family and strict women's ethics. , serving the husband every day and presenting cases, Qi Mei is courteous, the room is sweeping, and orderly, Mimura is probably the only samurai who can joke, he often jokes with the old slave and his wife during dinner.
Finally one day he decided to change his life and told his wife that he would quit his job and come back to open a school to teach kendo and teach children to learn swordsmanship. The future life may not be as good as it is now, but it is a very happy life, the wife's decision to her husband She lives in every way, and she grew up as an orphan in her husband's house, and her lifelong wish was to live with him forever.
"Your grandson will be sent to study," he said to the old slave.
"Can the son of a peasant learn swordsmanship too? "
Of course."
"Thank you, master, you can beat him if he doesn't obey."
"Children are not allowed to be beaten," Mimura said with a smile.
On this day, the morning when he decided to resign, it was sunny and sunny. His wife served him breakfast, and after cleaning, she sat at the door and fed a pair of caged birds. She smiled like a flower. In the small yard, there were trees. Ru Gai, the old slave was fetching water and chopping wood. After breakfast, he bid farewell to his wife confidently, and painted his new life in his heart.
He was brought back~~ his eyes were closed, his lips were closed, and he was unconscious.
On this day, when he was trying dishes, he poisoned the well
-ordered general's mansion, and the general ate the first mouthful of fragrant rice and the first delicious snail sashimi. At this time, Takuya Kimura, who was outside the door, suddenly planted He fell to the ground, sweating coldly, and passed out.
The results of the investigation came out soon. It was not someone who had poisoned them, but food poisoning caused by undercooked sashimi, just like eating puffer fish.
After the weather calmed down, the elderly samurai, the steward of the food tasting, returned home and committed suicide by cutting his belly. This is a kind of honor for him, because he had already fallen asleep on his knees in just a few seconds while everyone was trying the food- -Obviously, he can no longer take on this position. Perhaps he committed suicide in exchange for the inheritance of his descendants and the samurai salary that he can continue to apply for. On that day, the house was full of descendants, all without makeup, wearing hemp and wearing filial piety. He invited the shining dagger inside the house, stared at the cold light of the sword, wiped it carefully, and slowly killed himself by cutting his belly. His painful voice came out of the house, adults and children snuggled together, sobbing lowly, chanting sutras woodenly. . .
I don't know if he was lucky or unfortunate. He was not poisoned, but he has since gone blind - this is also a common sequela of seafood poisoning.
As a samurai, he certainly thought of dying, first by trying to hide the fact that his wife's vision was blurry, and then his wife's efforts to hide the fact that he would be blind forever.
After a struggle, with an unspeakable deep love for his wife, he decided to live bravely.
However, at the family meeting, the clan members were quite worried about their lives. They became more restless and sweaty because of the heat,
"How are you going to live?" He lost his salary, you may not be able to live in the city-state, you have to move to the country.”
Everyone came up with ideas
Kayo said hesitantly, maybe Shimada-kun can help
"Ah, that's great, do you recognize him?" Hurry up and ask him for help.”
The problem was finally solved, everyone opened the closed screen door and enjoyed the cool breeze and side dishes with relief.
Sancun's salary has been preserved, and life has returned to peace.
Soon, the quick-talking and wordy aunt, mysterious and sweaty, came to Mimura and told Mimura,
"My husband saw Kadai at the hotel, with another man." The
dinner was no longer sweet and delicious, so he sent an old servant Secretly stalking his wife, and finally found everything.
As a samurai, it was a huge insult that was unbearable.
"The rice you exchanged for your body, I eat sweetly every day, I am lower than a dog, you are not the Kayo I know! I'm divorced from you, move out immediately." The
old servant was sad and helpless, he pleaded, "She is an orphan, where do you want her to go?"
Jiadai was heartbroken, but he still packed a small bag of luggage in a hurry, and said cautiously: It's good that he didn't cut off my head, and I'll leave.
In the days that followed, it showed the sadness of the late summer and early autumn. His forehead grew long hair, no longer the hairstyle of a samurai. He sat at the door all day in a daze, living like a walking corpse.
His colleagues often come to visit. In a small talk, he learned that Shimada cheated on his wife. In fact, he was a selfish samurai who just wanted to climb up. He cheated Kayo and did not give the general advice to protect Sancun. Salary, the reason why his village kept his salary was because the general thought that he was poisoned by trying dishes for himself, and he just took pity on him.
Hearing this news, Mimura was angry and remorseful, but since then he had a purpose in life. He cheered up and practiced swordsmanship with his old servant every day. He made an appointment with his teacher, hoping to get the final advice. The teacher asked him, who do you want to be with? duel? Duel for what? Say it and I can help you.
He gritted his teeth to prevent the tears from falling, and said in a forbearance: Out of the dignity of a samurai, I forgive me for not being able to answer. We'll learn later that being a smart man out of tune with the world at the time, he didn't answer, not just out of samurai dignity. It also lies in the correct estimation of the situation at the time, not wanting to implicate the master, and not wanting to disturb other people. After all, what he wants to kill is a warrior higher than him.
The teacher said: You are blind, but you can win. As long as you have the heart to perish with him, he will be afraid.
He asked the old servant to send a duel message, and specifically told the other party: Don't underestimate the enemy because I'm blind. He was about to face a high-ranking samurai with a high-ranking swordsmanship title.
On the eve of the decisive battle, he stroked his shirt, which his wife had carefully ironed with a small stove burning coals every day. It was as smooth as ever, expressing the life and dignity of a warrior
. His eyes were blurred, and from a distance, Shimada came. He was wearing a samurai cloak and a samurai sword.
Mimura took out the cuff of his wife's kimono and put it on his head, with a long sword in his hand and murderous aura.
His sword was so accurate that Shimada even thought he was not blind. He fled in panic, sneaked around to the roof behind him, threw the scabbard down, distracted his attention, and attempted to sneak up from behind.
In an instant, the outcome was decided, Shimada's arm was pierced, and Mimura was safe.
After Shimada was carried back, he committed suicide by cutting his abdomen. There was no investigation into the matter, and no one knew who defeated him.
Mimura returned to his desolate home and gained a brief inner peace. Under the ingenious arrangement of the old servant, Kayo returned home as a maid and cooked food for him.
He ate a meal, summoned the old servant, and met his wife. He said, "How could I forget what you cooked."
Jiadai cried and fell into his arms, washing away the grievances and pains of many days.
He is the unique warrior in the Warring States period, not because he is blind, but because he is different from most people in that era. He has warmth, sense of humor, and curiosity, so he does not accept everything that others accept: Status, salary, and seemingly glamorous but boring life without dignity. He can accept everything that others can't accept: blindness, his wife being bullied and not seeking death. He had a happy life that no one else had ever lived.
This 122-minute film, after watching it slowly, is unwittingly lengthy. The Japanese director is really calm and rigorous. Every flower and every grass shows the historical style. Every word and deed are all appropriate. It is like returning to the shogunate era. In the world, there is no science and technology, and material is scarce. People use a backward hierarchical system to limit their lives. It includes cumbersome etiquette, strict class division, and rigid daily life. A woman with pleasing eyebrows and no low status at all. In this society, everyone's happiness (even the generals) is pitiful, and there is not much sadness, but the style at that time was so intoxicating, the spring Green trees and safflower, flying fireflies in summer, falling leaves in autumn, neat Japanese houses, women's neat buns tied up high, small Rosa fans dancing gently, blue and white glazed porcelain for boiling water and simmering soup Tile jar..... The director used a very delicate lens to reproduce the life at that time. This is an extremely ordinary story. Even every step of the plot development can be predicted by the audience, but it has reached an exciting and exciting level. The effect is as if all the trivial details laid out in front of them lay the groundwork for the embrace of the two later, as if all the characters portrayed are to set off the difference of Sancun. He is an alternative of that era, and every era has an alternative, see. Going up, they are similar to other people in the whole era, because he follows his nature and challenges the strict and powerful society. Although it is inevitable to be careful, it is enough to shine in the background of the entire era.
The style of the whole film is as calm as running water, and the deep lyricism under the running water deeply infected me. I watched it tenderly, and the deep friendship between the male and female protagonists in an environment where men are superior to women is deeply touching. It is effortless to imagine that the two are happy and innocent childhood sweethearts, the loyalty and simplicity of the old servants, and the rambles of Aunt Mimura are interspersed with small jokes, and in this movie, you will find that Kimura Takuya is not just a handsome scumbag Just a child.
The screenwriter and director of this film is Yamada Yoji, who is also the screenwriter and director of "Twilight Seibei".
The society in this film is monotonous, pale and lifeless, but it has the most basic strict order and dignity. As the moral bottom line of the whole society, Mimura, who is about to lose his status as a samurai, once thought of breaking away from the clan name, but relatives and clansmen disagree, they would rather Sacrificing a woman who had no status at the time (Kadai) to maintain family glory, an old, useless samurai, chose to end his life by cutting his belly (perhaps his life was as boring and boring as a day), and even lustful Shimada, when he was in danger of hooking up with Kadai, was courteous and courteous like a modest gentleman. He did a lot of foreplay. First, he recalled the past and praised Kadai for being the most beautiful when he was in school at the temple. If you need help, please speak up. It takes a dark room to show a human face and a beastly heart. He who failed in the duel, lost his soul and was so ashamed that he did not want to live in the world, and chose to commit suicide by cutting his belly silently to preserve his final dignity. Therefore, the order of superiority and inferiority is a very bad system, but it does not mean that people will lose their dignity.
