The dark twilight and the twilight of Seibei

Probably because he had drunk a few bottles of wine, when he looked back and watched the remaining duel between Iguchi Kiyobei ​​and Yugo Zenemon, he watched silently, without emotion, as if this man was about to meet an unexpected fate. In particular, Miss Tomo, played by Rie Miyazawa, said without a friendly goodbye that Mr. Qingbingwei is probably really bad.

Unexpectedly, the enemy Yu Wushan Uemon actually saw that he would be deadly relieved, and called Qingbingwei to drink, and the two of them chatted for a long time. There are masculine and even violent fighting warriors, here is either your death or my death, and you have to slowly grind for a long time.

After a long time, time flies, the Meiji Restoration, and many, many years, the little girl who acts as a voice-over narrator also grows up to an old woman, sacrificing to the tombstone that her father is not alone. What's amazing is that she found out at a glance that it was Keiko Kishi, a beauty who wants to recognize her once graceful face when she is over 70 years old, and she immediately felt that the "Twilight Qingbingwei" that she swiped a few years ago was basically equivalent to Look in vain. Tears that do not know when to come gradually fill the eyes in the soulful singing of the ending song, sad for the final fate of Iguchi Kiyohei in the changing times, or for the insignificant but extremely satisfied family in the narration. touched by the short-lived happiness.

In front of me is the sky with cumulus clouds at dusk when the subtitles are constantly flipping and rising, with a faint light of sunset.

Most of the highlights of "Twilight Qingbingwei" are Sanada Hiroyuki's performance. Perhaps, you can understand some of the reasons why Chen Kaige chose him to be the hero of "Wuji". Naturally, the subsequent events have little to do with an actor. There is also the familiar "300 Faces" Osugi Rian in the film, and the respectable old man Tanba Tetsuro, who passed away last year, also realized that he was overwhelmed when he saw the last name of CAST.


The Yamagata prefecture where the story takes place is actually the hometown of the original author Fujisawa Shuhei, and he wrote "Hidden Sword and Ghost Claw", the upcoming "Samurai's Point" and the well-received "Cicada Shiyu" by one person. from.

I watched a lot of period dramas, and I knew that Qingbingwei was almost the lowest, lowest and most humble samurai representative who had no right to speak. The "interesting" name of "Twilight Kiyobei". Despite this, he is still a warrior, not a ronin who lives without a fixed place. He needs to obey orders, support his family, and fulfill his due responsibilities for the sake of his status. He has become a little bit of dusk in the radical changes of the great era. The light, the extension and the extinction, it was too late to exclaim for everyone, too late to review it carefully, in exchange for a momentary silence and longing of the latecomers.

"Twilight Seibei" can't be said to be tense and breathless, which is not the style of the director Yoji Yamada who has become an old man. Putting the background of the story in the era before the Meiji Restoration is undoubtedly too easy to move the audience's emotions, the torrent of the apocalypse and the struggles of the little people, and the image of a helpless samurai father who loves his family, loves his daughter, and cares about his sweetheart. His struggle is A version of a period drama of "Men's Fate Is Hard", there is no lack of emotion in the warmth, and it comes slowly.

The Twilight Samurai quotes

  • Seibei Iguchi: I am ashamed to say that over many years of hardship with two daughters, a sick wife and an aged mother, I have lost the desire to wield a sword. A serious fight, the killing of a man, requires animal ferocity and calm disregard for one's own life. I have neither of those within me now. Perhaps in a month... alone with the beasts in the hills I could get them back. But tomorrow, I am afraid, is completely impossible.

  • Zenemon Yogo: So they sent you...

    Seibei Iguchi: Zenemon Yogo, by order of the clan, I come for your life. Draw your sword, please.

    Zenemon Yogo: [Intoxicated] Have a drink? I know you're all keyed up, but I'm going to run.

    Seibei Iguchi: Run?

    Zenemon Yogo: Yep. I want you to let me get away. If you please.

    Seibei Iguchi: I didn't expect that fromt he clan's best one-sword man. My orders are to kill you. I can't let you escape.

    Zenemon Yogo: Don't be so impatient, you can kill me at anytime. I'd like to talk to you. Have a seat. It's a nice day.
