I don't know how I am

The samurai hated his wife because he was strongly stimulated by the robber to rape his wife's success (including various details), thus projecting his inner pain as the "sin" of an innocent woman. Some mental orientations. The samurai said it was suicide, but he actually wanted to blame the woman for killing him. The woman cut the rope and asked him to fight the robber, which was indeed the indirect cause of his death. At the same time, he refused to admit that he lost to the robber, saying that he committed suicide because of this psychological need. I subconsciously make up lies and tell things because of psychological needs. After analysis, there will always be one or two basic points of fact in the story. The samurai said that he died under the dagger, which should be true, because before he died, he knew that the dagger was pierced into his chest, and his mind did not need to lie in such a place. The woman did not run away, but watched the battle in extreme terror. When she saw the tip of the dagger pointed at her husband, she fainted with fright, and when she woke up, she saw that the dagger was stuck in his chest, and the battle was provoked by her cutting the rope with the dagger, so she blamed herself, He thought he had stabbed her husband to death. Her psychological need was to emphasize another reason for her actions, the cruel, contemptuous eyes of her husband, in order to alleviate a little guilt that she did not have. This woman's psychological needs are really pitiful. She jumped into 18 hells unnecessarily, and her only need is to go up one level. And it was the dagger that stabbed the samurai, so she didn't have to lie about that. In this way, the robber was fortunately not a long knife, but a short knife in the scuffle, and the woodcutter still lied. The woodcutter was lying, so when the samurai said, "I am dead, and a man's footsteps came gently and pulled the dagger from my chest," he couldn't sit still, jumped up, and protested loudly : "No, no, what he said was a lie, the sword stuck in his chest was a long sword, not a short one." The samurai lied a lot, so why did the woodcutter protest this alone? The question of whether it is a long knife or a short knife is not important to others, but it is most important to the woodcutter. Because if it was a short knife, then his theft was not picked from Kusama, but from the bloody wound of the dead, and the nature was much more serious. The woodcutter refused to admit that he was so tolerant, so he said to the monk, "Sometimes, I can't even figure out my own mind."

    The fighting scenes are real and dangerous, and the discussion and disputes on human nature at the end sublime the film. The last description of the crime scene is too bright, and the three people's reactions are very different, which is really admirable. //[20181223 China Film Archive Screening] 4K restoration version.

    What is a magical film? It is this kind of film that took less than an hour and a half to shoot with black and white film in the 1950s, but can directly point to the most vulnerable side of human nature: selfishness and lies, not to mention creating a film theme mode.
