Let's talk about the main actor - the best bear master in our hearts, Toshiro Mifune, with such deep decree lines, showing a bow and a strong expression of life, and this plot is a natural match, with a peerless swordsmanship, but can only snort, Heroes are like knives, and the world is like a sheath. How can the blood and sharpness in the bones be rusted by the dust of the world? Mo Dao's sword does not slay dragons, it is just that it is not yet unsheathed. It is said that Toshiro Mifune was 47 years old when he filmed this drama. 1967 was also his golden age. For example, the grapes are ripe and the wine is made. For men of this age, calm and indifferent presents a charming matte. Feeling, compared to the sharp-edged boys, it is even more captivating.
In fact, I think the protagonist Isaburo is tragic, but at least two are lucky, and one is fortunate to know Asano (to say something that may be flattened, the big-eyed brother Tatsuya Nakadai looks too hyperthyroid), and the two have been heroes from the beginning. They have the same persistence and persistence in their own feelings, the same self-respect and introspection, but they are equally trapped in power and secularism.
I quite like the character of Asano, so proud, yet so self-sufficient. Before, in the face of high pressure from his superiors, he refused the task of assassinating Isaburo. Who would point the knife at his best friend for such a group of stupid pigs? Of course, we knew from the beginning that there was bound to be an earth-shattering confrontation between the two, and sure enough, at the end, when Isaburo was about to cross the border with his little granddaughter to go to Edo, the two faced off with knives. This episode, in my mind, is beyond beautiful. Yes, it's beautiful. Before the two raised their knives, they were holding Xiao Fu, sitting like old friends, making fun of Sun with a smile. This scene, in my opinion, is the most tender and heart-wrenching scene in the whole film. In Asano's point of view, raising a sword against Isaburo at this time is not that time, not with the utmost loyalty, but with the dignity of a samurai. Before swinging the sword, he also said to Isaburo: "Isaburo, lose to me, for Xiao Fu." A thousand words, one sentence is enough, this is the dialogue between men. In a lifetime, with such a best friend, what more could a husband ask for?
The wind is small, the killing intent begins, and men, in the end, rely on their strength to speak. To be honest, the older generation of Japanese filmmakers are really not covered. The composition of the picture is quite beautiful, such as Kobayashi Masaki, Ichikawa Kun, and Kurosawa Akira. . That set of long shots made me very happy. The fixed shots were strong enough, and the moving shots had a strong sense of rhythm. The two people in front of the knife were facing each other in a circle. It was quite an atmosphere. After going back three times, I still don't understand what happened to the last knife. Asano finally died under the sword of Isaburo, which was regarded as a martyrdom, fulfilling his Bushido spirit, and fulfilling a friendship with Isaburo.
Fortunately, Isaburo slaughtered the dragon for himself. My daughter, why do I like martial arts movies, not only because of the heroes and beauties, but most importantly, the world is vast, the mayfly is small, and I can do anything with a sword or a drink, how free and unrestrained! Everyone has their own heroic dreams. But Isaburo's heroic role is different from what ordinary people understand. In the ancient East, the concept of family was far higher than the individual. The so-called understanding of the general situation, understanding of the overall situation, concessions and seeking perfection have always been advocated by Oriental philosophy, human desire? That is selfish and shallow! Sacrifice for others, even those who are not worthy, is the real virtue, bah! In Tianlong Babu, Qiao Feng's role is defeated here in my opinion. Xingzi Forest uses himself as a knife stand for a group of garbage, inserting that one happy life, do you really think that you are God? Don't use the word "sacrifice" indiscriminately. If the object is valuable, that is sacrifice. If the object is garbage, it is to treat yourself as a fool. It’s okay to fulfill others, but we have to be willing, we think it’s worth it, it’s not easy for me to come here in this world, life, in the final analysis, is your own, don’t pretend to be God. Look at Isaburo, he is much more human than Hero Qiao in this respect. The real sword is only drawn for himself. Protect the truly precious things and people, I will protect mine, I will fight for mine, and if I accidentally hurt you, we really can't do it. In the next life, stay away from us. Of course, reality is always cruel. Persistence and stubbornness, obsessed with their own emotions, and honesty to themselves are the most vulnerable people. I won’t talk about the confrontation between an individual and the whole society. In short, honesty is very costly. High, so few people dare to pay the bill. After all, it is easier to surrender, but heroes are born for this. Isaburo has surrendered for 20 years, but he has not found a reason for him to draw his sword. He felt that there was something worth protecting with one's life in this world, so now, let's do it!
We don't understand cost calculation, we don't understand the so-called lightness and significance, we are just protecting what we think we need to protect, and fighting for what we must fight for, draw the sword!
In the end, Isaburo was still unable to go to Edo, how could a sword be able to resist the pursuit of everyone, a musket and an arrow? He couldn't go to Edo, but he drew his sword. What about us, who would draw the sword for whom, and who would dare to draw the sword, not for anything else, but to prove that we lived?
