I am Shura Xueji, The Undefeated, Nemesis, The Meiji Ronin, The Nightmare of Rapists and Murderers
Blood overflowing, revenge killings, beauty with thorns, and soft pornography that never sets the sun, no wonder Quentin is crazy about it, and filmed "Kill Bill" to imitate kneeling. The heroine Kaji Meiko performed and sang the theme song "Sura no Flower", her singing was cool, and was also included in "Kill Bill".
The film tells the story of Japan entering the Meiji Restoration period. Japan, which was deeply impacted by the Western world's ideas, was determined to strengthen its country with military power. It required young people over the age of 16 to accept registration and join the army when they became adults. The fearful and angry peasants tried to resist. At this time, three men and one woman appeared, claiming that as long as they handed a few hundred yuan to them, they could be exempted from the conscription, otherwise they would be dragged by the government’s dog legs—men in white clothes to conscription.
Xue Ji's unfortunate father appeared at this time. If he could survive, he would probably have to repeat "I'm so stupid, really, I only knew that wearing white clothes was handsome and compelling, but I didn't expect so many ignorant people".
Xue Ji's father staged the most tragic death of an elementary school teacher in the history of filmmaking: he was cut into eight pieces before he left the scene.
Xue Ji's mother contributed all the erotic scenes in the whole film: under the watchful eyes of the greasy woman, she was gang-raped by three men for three days and three nights, and then was taken away by one of the men for her exclusive use. After an orgasm, Xue Ji's mother watched Just in time to stab him. After she was imprisoned, she tried her best to seduce the jailer for love. She has a secret, that is, giving birth to a son to take revenge.
The metaphor of rice scattered on the face when raped is enough, how can the connotation of sensuality be separated from food?
This is the scene at the beginning of the film: there is heavy snow falling outside the prison window, and the camera sweeps over four women who help deliver babies, and the woman who has just finished giving birth but whose hatred remains unabated. The blood-red prison uniform hides the traces of blood, and it is shockingly fierce under the flying snow.
This 1973 film is completely independent of a way of expression of the film, interspersed with photo slideshows and comics, and the combination of dynamic and static methods is just right to take care of the appetite of the audience who love comics "Xura Xue Ji". In the comics, in the black and white tragic scene where the dead are everywhere and the living are uprising, only the hot flames and hot blood have the red madness.
The most memorable part of the film is the classical beauty created by photography and color, combined with the joy of killing. A bamboo umbrella, a sword hidden in the umbrella, a white dress with red blood, and a cold and glamorous end. In the Japanese sword and halberd film, the martial arts instructor pays attention to one-shot fatality and accumulation, and the simpler and faster the move, the better the master. In this sword and halberd film with a woman as the protagonist, Xue Ji's shot can be said to be fatal.
On the short street in the snowy night, the purple umbrella is lightly lifted, this official, it was your dog's legs that kicked over my bamboo basket, you see this wide road leads straight to the blue sky, but you insisted on letting this hateful beast splash me all over the place Bloody, how can I blame it on my fault.
The raging sea ate at night, the corpse was ups and downs, the striking red dyed the shocking waves that swelled and rolled back, and the sins of one person will really affect the lives of two generations. Sympathy and tears are meaningless, because Xue Ji has no tomorrow.
In the first shot of Xue Ji's appearance, she walks forward from left to right holding a lotus paper umbrella, and when she finishes killing people, she leaves with the same posture from right to left. From God's perspective, her frailty and hatred are hidden under the bamboo umbrella, and only the same fate awaits her. Born with revenge, dies after revenge is victorious, like an umbrella in the hand of a companion - when the enemy is killed, the umbrella is also destroyed.
Her appearance is the same as her whole life: the blood comes from the snow, and the blood flies away from the snow.
In the movie, Xue Ji changed a total of six sets of kimonos, and each set of kimonos reflected the mood at that time, which is also a manifestation of the wonderful details of the film:
The first set: white as the base, against the backdrop of the king butterfly, spread its wings swaggeringly, and brilliance.
This kimono is what Xue Ji wore when she first appeared on the stage to kill and kill the last enemy. The color of the snow is the meaning of her existence, and the golden butterfly indicates that she will break out of the cocoon and fly. The person killed for the first time was a wicked bureaucrat. After killing him, Xue Ji left her apprenticeship and embarked on a journey of revenge.
This kimono was also worn when killing the last enemy. At this time, her great revenge has finally been avenged, and Kingdee wants to fly with Tianqi, and see her return from death. After completing the mission of transforming the butterfly, the existence of the butterfly has also lost the meaning of life.
The second set of kimono: white as the base, orchids sway gently, neither humble nor arrogant, neither angry nor happy.
Xue Ji wore this kimono only once, when she set out to find the four enemies. Surrounded by flowers, what she remembered was the horrific cultivation process in her childhood. In order to hone her will and force, she must always be vigilant and ruthless. When she was young, the stem of the flower was broken with one blow, and she was not the flower that was destroyed by the hot hand.
The third set of kimono: white as the bottom, sea-colored stripes, calm and deep, clear love and hate.
When killing the first enemy, Xue Ji chose to do it by the sea, and the whole turbulent coast merged with Xue Ji. With this move, the friendship with Hue is no longer possible. However, blood debt must be tasted by blood debt, and it will be sad when I sing him again tomorrow. For the first revenge, she kills her friendship.
The fourth set of kimono: white as the base, green dyed and compound brushes, the bamboo is hard to break, and the heart is different
When she killed the second enemy, Xue Ji jumped off the roof, and a bamboo forest seemed to cheer her up. The life-and-death struggle in the yard brought her strength and bravery to the extreme, and the upper injury on the shoulder made this bright green even more eerie. .
This enemy was a woman. When Xue Ji chased her down, she found that she had been hanged to death in a secret room. It is conceivable that as a woman, she is not only in great pain for her mother's suffering, but also resented by this woman who is watching and assisting. What she cut off was the lust for the pleasures of men and women. When the novelist hugged her and asked her, "Can you live an ordinary life?" Xue Ji's frowning brows already had a silent answer. In the face of the novelist's lust, she can't take the initiative and decisiveness like a sword move.
The fifth set of kimono: white as the base, light flowers embellishment, no worries, peace of mind
This suit is what she wears when she pays respects to her parents, faces her teacher, and looks at children from afar. In the face of playful children, only in the face of life without stains and burdens can she feel relaxed and comfortable. Fierce as Xue Ji, she would also act like a child in front of her teacher in this light-colored outfit.
The sixth set of kimono: Lotus blossoms, fresh breeze, from death to life, from life to death
The only brightly colored clothes that Xue Ji wore in the film. Once, after checking the cemetery of her enemy, she met the love of her life; once, she thought that her revenge had been avenged, and she was dressed as a nun in her first love. costumes. From the moment she was born, she was forced to be the Xue Ji who shouldered hatred, and the white robe was better than Xue Yingxue. Before walking to the door of the lover's room, I believe that she is eager to change into an ordinary person.
The goddess of nemesis walking on the edge of life and death, killed her lover for revenge, was killed by friends for revenge, and was nostalgic for the last roar, because everything was lost and it was too late.
