Dig a hole and jump

A classic found by chance - Akira Kurosawa's "Ran·RAN".

Human nature is that there are many sinful places, when you are not aware of it. I often say "we just dug a hole and jumped by ourselves". What appears to have been intended to be a morally ideal situation turned out to be a radical departure from control. So, just dig a hole and dance by yourself, or don’t drag others down or cause trouble for each other, and eventually rise to the point of testing your spirit (do you want to dance with you, or watch you dance by yourself?).
The above are my superficial thoughts after watching "Chaos". Human nature is originally "xxxx, heaven and earth will perish", why does a father test his children to drive himself crazy? However, we should take into account that the thinking of the ancients was relatively simple, so the father may simply believe that his "tyrannical education" can produce "filial and gentle offspring"; it is precisely because of the simple thinking that the children thoroughly implement the The code of conduct of "destroy the world".
Human nature is actually very naked in reality, but why should you think about it, because when you see the naked human nature of others, in fact your human nature itself is at a glance. Therefore, using artistic means to focus and exaggerate some of the backsides, or to remind some people who have never been aware of the essence of human nature, can also more definitely affirm the doubts in our hearts.

    Story photography, composition, scheduling, editing, soundtrack, etc. are all masters. Although the story is relatively simple, it still captures the epic spirit and powerless sense of fate. Hundreds of cavalrymen who are full of people's hearts create a grand scene of thousands of horses, which is extremely shocking. The setting is gorgeous and colorful. Tatsuya Nakadai's performance is also impeccable. Worship the Great God of Kurosawa //20160416 Archives 4K restoration. The fire was raging, the guns were bursting, the horses' hooves were thumping, and there was a sound of sad roars. cry

    The subtlety of Kurosawa's colors, composition and scheduling is beyond doubt, but the rhythm is slow, the craftsmanship is too heavy, and there is no originality at all. These are tragic facts that people who like this film must admit. I want to scold him like Zhang Yimou, because his interest in the West is simply kneeling and licking. And his core value is too naive. However, he found a suitable reason for women's misfortune, and this would not be too bad for him to be scolded. 18.12.15 Replay. There is a big mystery in the voice! Every time you mention heaven, there will be echoes, and the design can be said to be quite elaborate. The action design is stylized, creating a strong sense of the times, sense of ritual and allegory.

Ran quotes

  • Hidetora: What madness have I spoken? Wherein lies my senility?

    Saburo Naotora Ichimonji: I'll tell you. What kind of world do we live in? One barren of loyalty and feeling.

    Hidetora: I'm aware of that.

    Saburo Naotora Ichimonji: So you should be! You spilled an ocean of blood. You showed no mercy, no pity. We too are children of this age... weaned on strife and chaos. We are your sons, yet you count on our fidelity. In my eyes, that makes you a fool. A senile old fool!

  • Kyoami: In a mad world only the mad are sane.
