Whether it was Japan during the Warring States period or China now, there was a big group-farmers. They are pathetic, pathetic, and hateful. They use food production as their business, but they are the first to suffer when they catch up with the war or the XX movement. They are scattered and unorganized, and the best words to pursue individual interests one by one do ignore the overall interests. It is often ranked last in the balance of interest groups.
In the film, the crazy Kikuchiyo tells the truth of the world. One of the passages is that the seven samurai entered the village and found the weapons that the peasants had killed the deserted samurai. The samurai hated the peasants. What do farmers think they are bodhisattvas? It’s a joke. Farmers are the most cunning. They ask for rice but don’t give it. They ask for wheat and say no. In fact, they all have, and they have everything. Open the floor to see if they are not underground, they store things. In the room, you will definitely find many things, rice, salt, beans, wine... Go deep in the valley to see, there are hidden rice fields. The surface is loyal but the most liars, they will lie no matter what! They will kill the soldiers as soon as they fight. Strong weapon, listen, so-called farmers are the most stingy, cunning, cowardly, bad-hearted, low-powered, and they are murderers." OK, Kikuchiyo turned around—"But...who made them like this? Yes. You, you are your warriors, you all go to death! Burning villages for war, ravaging fields, arbitrarily laboring, humiliating women, killing rebels, what do you tell the peasants to do, what should they do."
