Hell Gate. Inside and outside the door, maybe it's just one thought.
In the category of traditional loyalty to the king and patriotism, the resolute Sheng Yuan will never enter hell. He is a hero, a samurai who is righteous and kills his relatives.
He escaped his brother's fate to the gates of hell - a mutiny. But still can't escape in front of the gate of hell. When he finished paying homage to his brother at the gate of hell and met the cassock again, he began to walk towards hell.
A single thought in anger opened the door to his hell.
Sheng Yuan is not a heinous person.
His hell door is open to his savage concept of love.
In terms of reward for meritorious deeds, Ping Qingsheng asked Sheng Yuan what he hoped to get. People want to be enthroned and to be surrounded by guards.
With his heroic bravery and righteousness, what can he get? Ping Qingsheng said: Except for my head, I will grant you everything you ask.
And he wants a woman.
At this time, his love seemed so romantic and unrestrained.
For a samurai, love can be higher than power, love can be higher than status, love can be higher than wealth...
Sheng Yuan: The big idiot who thinks that you can get love by using force.
But Sheng Yuan still doesn't understand love. Abandoning power, status, wealth, what is left of him? force.
How can a brave woman like the cassock who keeps the traditional women's way, but is generous and willing to sacrifice her life at any time, how could she lower her view of love to force? Therefore, Sheng Yuan should not use force to intimidate a woman he loves in his rage.
She asked him: Do you think I have already thought of this point?
he said yes. I could kill your husband, and if necessary, I could even kill you and your grandma.
What cruel love is this. Maybe it's no longer love.
It is revenge for love after abandoning the world.
Sheng Yuan, who had broken his hair, said: The cassock is the difference between Sheng Yuan's thoughts.
Sheng Yuan tried a trick to kill Watanabe Watanabe, but was killed by the cassock instead.
When Watanabe saw the cassock killed by Sheng Yuan by mistake, he asked her: "The happiest thing about being a husband is the full trust of your wife. Why don't you trust me?"
She loved him, so she would rather die in his place.
He loves her, so he always hides his mood in front of her very well, and he hopes that he can give her happiness.
Watanabe Watanabe's first appearance, I thought he would be a grumpy and violent nouveau riche image. But it is Watanabe Watanabe who understands love best after seeing it. How does a husband endure the threat of his wife, and the rumors about his wife's honor and loyalty? But Watanabe has been doing it, and his provocations to Sheng Yuan are all forbearance and humility. If I still think that Watanabe Watanabe is a gentleman of the shogunate, then in the dialogue between Watanabe Watanabe and Sheng Yuan, the epiphany of love he brought to Sheng Yuan completely sublimated the image of this character.
Sheng Yuan asked Watanabe Watanabe: Don't you hate me when your wife was killed?
Watanabe Watanabe: Is it useful? If you kill you, the cassock cannot be resurrected. Maybe you thought that by killing you, things could be resolved. But what about me left? The only wife didn't tell me before she died. what should I do?
Sheng Yuan, who understood love, said: "Then let me cut it myself and suffer in hell for the rest of my life."
In the thought that he understood the true meaning of love, it was the moment he walked into the gate of hell.
I don't know much about the background of this Japanese history. But I dare to speculate, whether the director also has a specific representative of Watanabe Watanabe and Sheng Yuan in this film, two different values of the shogunate and the samurai class? (to be verified)
