The cassock is the difference between Sheng Yuan's thoughts.
The fiery desire eventually leads to an irreversible tragedy. Since there was no way to escape, the cassock chose to die for her husband.
At the end of playing the qin, the husband blamed the cassock for playing such a sad tune. He didn't know that it was the farewell of the cassock to himself.
As a husband, the happiest thing is the unconditional trust of a wife. Why don't you trust me, why don't you ask me for help?
Really can? In order to get the cassock, Sheng Yuan vowed to put Du to death. As the wife of a samurai, the cassock cannot and will never violate loyalty. Pretending to promise Sheng Yuan, she is ready to die.
Dressed in a sakura pink dress, she moved through the corridor step by step. With the sound of drums, time seemed to stop, and the swaying gauze tent whispered the reluctance of the cassock. She had too much nostalgia, but had to die.
The candle goes out, the knife falls.
Sheng Yuan finally realized his stupidity, but it was too late.
Do you think you can solve everything by falling on your head? In the face of Sheng Yuan's remorse, Du did not raise his sword to kill. My beloved wife has passed away, what should I do if I live alone?
Erotic infatuation, grief broke the world. Sheng Yuan lost his hair as a monk, passed through the gate of hell, and wandered the world.
Slow movement of the mirror, classical beauty, insects chirping, wind movement, tree shaking, and natural phenology are used to express the emotions of the characters. Hou Hsiao-hsien must have seen the gate of hell, the veil floating in Nie Yinniang's room seemed to be absent, and his feelings were hidden.
Life is like a dream scattered with the wind, scattered and rootless like duckweed. What is long, what is eternity?
Obsession is hell! Giving up is liberating! However, it is too difficult!

    The color saturation is dazzling, the plot is simple, the characters are bright, and the tension is a bit excessive. Other than that, it doesn't feel particularly appealing. But Cannes gave the film the grand prize, because the président du jury was Jean Cocteau... I think it really suits his taste.

Gate of Hell quotes

  • Moritoo Endô: Brother, please don't be a traitor. This isn't you.

    Moritada: I know what I'm doing. What good will it do for you to serve Kyomori?

    Moritoo Endô: I don't know. Once you serve him though, he's your master forever. How can you betray him in his absence?

    Moritada: It's not cowardice. It's shrewd stratagy. I'm sorry to tell you Kiyomori won't be coming back.

    Moritoo Endô: How can a pack of mutts defeat the Taira Clan?

  • Kesa: [after Moritoo grabs her in a strong embrace] What are you doing?

    Moritoo Endô: You refuse no matter what?

    Kesa: Yes.

    Moritoo Endô: Then I'm ready. You're mine now!

    Kesa: No matter what you say, female virtue won't allow it.

    Moritoo Endô: Drop your husband. Leave Wataru.

    Kesa: I can't do that.

    Moritoo Endô: Why can't you? I, Moritoo, will slay Wataru. I won't stop with Wataru. If needed, your aunt too. I might have to kill you too!

    Kesa: [the camera moves in for an intense close-up of Kesa] Are you ready to do all that? Do you want me that much?

    Moritoo Endô: I want you. I can't live without you. What do you say? Can't you grant my wish? Eh? Why don't you answer? Do you want Wataru, yourself, and your aunt all dead? Kesa! It all depends on your answer now.
