After reading the sword of death, although it is not as good as cutting the abdomen, it is still a timeless classic. In particular, there is an unprecedented female image of a samurai film in this film: Ashi. At first, she was favored by Fanzhu. Although she was reluctant, she was still given to Fanzhu as a concubine by her family as an item. After giving birth, she was given to a samurai to be a wife because of her disobedience. Fortunately, the relationship between husband and wife was beautiful. And gave birth to a daughter, but was asked to return to Fanzhu due to political struggles. From beginning to end, she has absolutely no freedom of personal will, and her fate is all in the hands of the men around her. Her husband and father-in-law rejected Fan Zhu's request for the bottom line of personal dignity, and they were about to face the calamity of overthrow, so the men in the clan called her and hoped that she would take the initiative to ask to return to Fan Zhu, so that everyone could have a step. Down. Facing a group of men who were oppressive and aggressive, she said resolutely: "I want to stay." The other party was furious: "Even if you destroy this family?" She nodded: "Yes." The other party used the situation that her family would face. To put pressure on her, she still said firmly: "My father is my father, I am me, and I would rather die than go back." In traditional East Asian culture, it is a woman's duty or a courtier's duty to take care of the overall situation and sacrifice herself. She expressed her own will: I don't want to be treated as an object anymore, I'm not afraid of your stigma and guilt, because I know it's not my fault, that's what I want, I'm not wrong. In the end she committed suicide in front of her husband who fought to the death for her. I think of the mandarin duck girl vowing to never be a mandarin duck puppet. Du Shiniang sank into the treasure chest in anger. This is all Ashi. There must have been such women. They used death to get rid of their belongings. The freedom they can obtain is death. The steadfastness and courage of dignity and freedom have allowed them to shine, be portrayed and handed down to the world.
