Life is a monster prophecy

The setting of Japan's Warring States Period is troubled times. Troubled times are rude, so turbulent. Eastern people are used to saying that the times are turbulent, prosperous, declining, and the end of the world. People's existence, such as a chaotic world, is different from the sinking of a prosperous world and a peaceful world, but rather turbulent. This is where the monster's prophecy comes from, and such a life is a monster's prophecy. Both Washatsu and the people in the film are in this prophecy. There is almost no possibility for people in troubled times to be true. The prophecy of the monster looks true, but it is actually false. After that, the monster predicted for the second time that the forest would move, which also symbolized the location. The movement of the forest is false, but the false is true. Such existence is the existence of man. Therefore, people have the feeling that life is like a dream bubble. The so-called life is like a dream, this is the existence of this Dasein. Recognizing this, man can approach his true nature. However, people in troubled times have been alienated by troubled times, so their rootless state is more severe. At the end of the film, Washatsu went to the Spider Hand Forest to look for monsters, which was his inquiry about his own existence. "Have you reached the end of confusion, congratulations, congratulations". If people's life is no longer turbulent in today's world, there will be little drama in life, but today's life is already mediocre. Humans are just ordinary people in the world, and the world changes as people change. In fact, they are all constants. Impermanence is constant change.

On the other hand, Akira Kurosawa tried his best to describe the world, but he fell into the theme of desire, and his insight was also insufficient.

    Everything is the choice of Steins;Gate. Shakespeare's four tragedies tend to be fatalistic, as ambiguous as the chicken or the egg. Akira Kurosawa's portrayal of women is basically not simple, all of them are like hanging out. What impressed me the most was the wife of the eldest son in "Ran", she was a ruthless and decisive person. How did all the arrows shoot at the end? If I had three boats, it would be a shadow for a lifetime.

    1. The character is silent for a long time, and the camera is slowly pushed. With the sound of instrumental music, the character turns and the camera is adjusted accordingly. The solidified potential flows. 2. The characters are mad, move the mirror restraint, and follow a slight heel. The characters seem to be colliding left and right within the frame, but they cannot rush out of the painting, showing the meaning of the cage of fate. 3. Hurrying to slow down, Washatsu kills Miki and skips the Hongmen banquet that has not been attended, and joins the victory. 4. But the climax is too fast and not satisfactory.

Throne of Blood quotes

  • Taketori Washizu: His Lordship trust me more than anyone else. And that is why he has given me the honor of leading the attack.

    Lady Asaji Washizu: Where arrows will find you not only from the front but from the rear.

  • Washizu samurai: I have fought in many battles and have seen blood, yet this stain horrifies me. Because this is the blood of a dog, the blood of a despised traitor. He was a coward too. Cried for mercy after his revolt was over.
