1. Why do I like Isaburo's samurai tragic: Different from Kurosawa Akira's Tsubaki Juro or Inagaki Hiroshi's Miyamoto Musashi, the samurai image created by Kobayashi Masaki has the color of "sorrow". The tragic face of righteousness and swearing to the death to defend dignity appeared. At the end of YouQi, the swordsman died by a bullet, and fell in a pool of blood, still not forgetting his granddaughter Xiaomei, "I can't go to Edo anymore, no one will know the story of your parents. When you grow up, you want to be like you. A woman like your mother, and then you want to marry a man like your father." This kind of words caught the hearts of female audiences too much, and it's hard to imagine that a prodigal son such as Tsubaki Sanjirou could say such a thing. This mournful remark also became the samurai's swan song. The fascinating thing about sadness is that Isaburo is not invincible like Tsubaki Juro, who encounters Buddha and kills Buddha, and always turns evil into good fortune. Although he is "invincible", he is ultimately no match for a powerful feudal lord. He fell unwillingly, he was powerless to fight against the system, but he knew that he couldn't do it, even though he failed, he was still awe-inspiring. Fear: Isaburo is the married son-in-law. Twenty years of Fear has honed his good skills of forbearance. Under the control of the virgin, he is restrained, obedient, and forbearing, "for twenty years he has endured everything silently" (son Yugoro language), "have been working hard for 20 years to protect the family's reputation and social status", "except swordsmanship, nothing" (Isaburo language). Asano said that Isaburo is an invincible swordsman. He was also the son-in-law of his father-in-law because of his superb swordsmanship. A warrior who was supposed to be full of vigor and vitality has lived so suffocatingly for more than 20 years. It is really a very unique image of a warrior created by Masaki Kobayashi. (It is also too in line with some kind of bad taste of some female audiences. If you marry someone, marry Isaburo, okay?) Resist (and answer what Isaburo resisted and why): This samurai is not worthy of respect if he is always in submission. Wake up in time and rise up to resist, so that the hero becomes a hero. "The Sword of Death" depicts the transformation of a samurai from obedience and submission to reckless rebellion against the entire feudal system with personal strength. What made him change, or what made him wake up, was the love of his son and his daughter-in-law. He suddenly understood what "love" was. Looking back on the first half of his life, he only had "marriage" and never had "love". He realized that "everyone's life is his own", and he, his life is not his own, he dedicated himself to the failed marriage, to the so-called family, to the feudal lord, to the given the system. In the end, I got nothing. It was the love with Goro and Achi that "gives me Isaburo a new life", made him resist, and made him feel "really alive". He and Yugoro did not hesitate to fight to the death, not only for the sake of the family, but also a kind of overthrow of the first half of his life, a denial of the submissive and submissive self in the past. The teacher said in class that the reason for his resistance was "Achi" and "family happiness". Of course, he was for Achi and his family, but I think the difference between him and his son is that the latter is purely to protect his wife and family, while Isaburo In order to obtain a kind of "new life", to rise up and resist for the dignity of the awakened samurai, to truly master their own life. The profound meaning of swordsmanship and Isaburo's life course: His friend Asano has summed up his profound meaning of swordsmanship several times: "The enemy advances, I retreat, the enemy advances again, and I retreat again; but when there is no way to retreat, it is like a mountain torrent." Isaburo "Never take the initiative to attack, wait patiently until the opponent is exhausted." Isaburo's swordsmanship spirit is very similar to his life course. At the beginning, he was patient again and again, but he would not give up, wait patiently, and wait for the opportunity to attack. In the end, it roared like a mountain torrent, and the sword was unsheathed, and it had to be fatal. He is a swordsman, so he has to fight in the way of a swordsman, with the pride of a swordsman. 2. Asano's image has always been paying attention to Asano's appearance. He always appeared as an old friend at the beginning, and he seemed to know Isaburo best. Several summaries of Isaburo's swordsmanship were put forward by Asano. The first time he appears as the opposite of Isaburo is two-thirds of the way through the film. Asano received orders to deal with Isaburo. Asano was sent to take down Isaburo as a samurai of the same level. But Asano was unwilling, his rhetoric was based on legal principles, and killing Isaburo was beyond his control. And the reason why he is really unwilling to kill Isaburo may be that he and Isaburo are sympathetic friends who understand and appreciate each other. However, in the last 10 minutes, he had to meet Isaburo on a narrow road, and at this time, facing his own responsibility, he had to stop Isaburo, not for the loyalty of the lord, but for the dignity of a samurai, for the sake of both sides respect. "Fall to me," he said to Isaburo, so that he could save his own life. But Isaburo refused. So they all tried their best to duel with each other, and they must do their best, otherwise it would be disrespect to their opponents. Asano eventually died under the sword of Isaburo. "With the help of Yogoro, Achi and Xiaomei, I can't win. Take Xiaomei to Edo." He said to Isaburo before he died. The swordsmanship of the two of them is comparable, and it is unknown who will win and who will lose, but in this final duel, Asano should faintly know that he is no match for Isaburo, because Isaburo is obsessed and has something to protect at the cost of death. As Isaburo's long-time best friend, he felt the obsession of his old friend.
