I was saddened by the boy in "Artificial Intelligence" who still longed to see his mother after 2,000 years, and I was moved to tears by the canopy that silently guarded Ah Yue for 800,000 years in "The Legend of Wukong". Later, I realized that what moved me was not just the emotion itself, but more of persistence. Two thousand years of persistence and 800,000 years of persistence. The most difficult thing for people living in the mortal world is persistence. Those who stem from kindness and persistence and stubbornness, those who are obsessed with human emotions are destined to be difficult to tolerate in this absurd world. Just like Isaburo in Kobayashi Masaki's "The Sword of Death", but Kobayashi Masaki's movie is far from simple. Just like the Taiwanese filmmaker Yang Dechang many years later, Kobayashi Masaki seems to prefer to express the confrontation between the individual and the whole society, and the inevitable destruction of individual ideals. The unmatched Isaburo is obsessed with bringing the story of his children to Edo. Go to announce the world, but in the end, die under the more ruthless guns, samurai encounter guns, the pain of tradition in modern times. And this kind of power also has the shadow of Kobayashi Masaki's previous work "Cut the Belly" to the real stifling.
In "Kinmatsu Monogatari", Shigerubei couldn't bear to suffer with him, and once left him to escape; Shigerubei's father also handed over Shigeriwei painfully but resolutely when the government came to arrest Shigebei. This is a tradition For the restraint and imprisonment of the individual's thought itself, especially in the old eastern society, the family has a greater influence on the individual, so Ichiro, who loves Ying Qi in "The Sword of Death", also begged Ying Qi tearfully Back in the castle, here, Kobayashi Masaki deeply expresses the inner contradictions and struggles of the characters, which enriches the characters' emotions even more. In the end, the death of both of them is the most desperate and helpless. In the film, Isaburo was stopped by Tatsuya Nakadai when he went to Edo with his granddaughter Tami. Betrayed the cruel master and fled with Toshiro Mifune, but in "The Sword of Death" Kobayashi Masaki obviously did not have the romantic feelings of Akira Kurosawa. Although Isaburo and Nakadai Tatsuya sympathized with each other, they still had to duel, either you died or I death, this is reality.
