Thoughts triggered by Dr. Sansho

I saw this movie by chance, and the latest movie review was a few years ago, but I still couldn't help recording my thoughts and some immature questions.
After watching the movie's pretty happy ending, what I wanted to know even more was what happened to the slaves when they were freed, after their party that night? Behind the momentary joy, some people may find a new career and a new foothold, some people will return to their hometowns and find relatives, and more people may have a kind of desolate joy and sorrow, because they can no longer Choose your own life, and you have become accustomed to your own life.
The second thought that came to my mind was that when the chef king went to liberate the slaves in Dr. Sanjiao’s house as the manager, I saw the yard and the room full of people, at least one hundred and ten people. At most, the people who take care of them are less than fifty. If these slaves can consciously organize resistance, many people may have escaped a few years ago. Why didn't they do it? I feel it is because of ignorance. So ignorance is the greatest tragedy of a nation.
The third question is something I can't figure out. Why does Shinobu, also An Shou, have to sacrifice? Doctor Sanjiao definitely doesn't want to lose another female after losing a male, so if Shinobu can endure for a while and keep her teeth fixed, maybe she can wait for the light. Can't bear it for a while. Especially after seeing her mother persevering and persevering until her son found her, she felt that Shinobu might not have to die, and from Shinobi's growth experience and her tolerant and tolerant character, maybe this character is more The right route is not death.

    Mizoguchi's poetic camera language, slow and powerful, very catchy; flashbacks in the opening scene, switching between mother and son; as always, I like the female characters in it, the stoic Shinoko, the mother singing by the sea, The maids who silently help each other

Sansho the Bailiff quotes

  • Zushiô: [quoting his father] "Without mercy, man is not a human being."

  • Masauji Taira: [Speaking to his son Zushio on the verge of being exiled and separated from his family] Zushio, I wonder if you'll become a stubborn man like me. You may be too young to understand, but hear me out anyway. Without mercy, man is like a beast. Even if you are hard on yourself, be merciful to others. Men are created equal. Everyone is entitled to their happiness.
