Derived from traditional beliefs

When I watched this movie for the first time in junior high school, I clearly remembered that it was only halfway through, but from then on, I was attracted by this cultural temperament. Since then, I have been very interested in the two civilizations. It is ancient Egypt, and there is also Japanese culture. I think they all have such an unforgettable atmosphere, unique and similar. During Double Eleven, I added two books about Bushido to my shopping cart. After reading half of it, I suddenly remembered this movie that I hadn’t finished watching but was deeply imprinted in my heart. I found resources and finished it in one go. . Armor, Tachi, and abdomen are three key words that I remember about Japanese samurai. After reading a few film reviews, I feel that they are all too sensible. I don’t understand the background story, but if I really bring the historical view of the real society, I’m afraid I won’t be able to watch this movie, because there will be too many flaws in the subconscious mind. Looking for it all the time, it would be better to trust the director and the screenwriter completely. Fully plunge into the world where every warrior burns his soul, sometimes wielding a knife, and sometimes meditating in Zen. Tom’s handsome guy doesn’t want to mention too much here. The positioning of each role is clear, and the story is considered complete. As the leader of the last samurai, Mori Katsumoto is in line with what I have in my mind about the great names of the Warring States period, Uesugi Kenshin, Takeda Shingen, Oda Nobunaga, of course this is just imagined. In the samurai village, everyone and everything are so pure. Nature and the village remind me of Sediqbale, who is also a group of true warriors. The spirit of Bushido is actually nothing special in Chinese civilization. Loyalty, filial piety, righteousness and faith. Of course, this may be the Bushido in the real history, but the Bushido described by later generations. But now Bushido, like the cherry blossoms, has become a symbol of Japan, a unique feature. Personally, some envy them. I have wanted to say more than once that I hate Ming and Qing, no matter how prosperous it is and outdated. The long history of Chinese civilization is an advantage, but it is also a disadvantage. Those civilizations that have once become a symbol in history have not been preserved in the change of rights and dynasties, but want to discover again and talk about it easily. On the one hand, I understand the tradition, but on the other hand I can’t find the root. It is understandable if you lack faith or believe in other countries. I don't want to talk about cohesion, but if a country has its own characteristics and soul nature, then he has invisible soft power. The fusion of modernity and tradition will make it continue to shine, and everyone will be firm in their hearts and abide by intangible moral codes, which cannot be taught by books. Power from the core of the nation.

    2018.1.28.1056 It seems that as I grow older, I am getting more and more able to understand what story a movie wants to tell, but more and more I find that the quality of a movie and the core of its thoughts are really too much for those of the main creators. The direct relationship, the limitation of his knowledge, his personal experience, and his present moment will all be presented in the movie in some way. This movie is smooth to watch, but you can’t think about it too much, and I didn’t want to study the spirit of Bushido.

    Comparable to Avatar. The plot is surprisingly similar. The sensation is in place, the scene is in place. It was a pleasure to watch with relatives.
