Bright and imaginative yet steady colors, imposing crowd, film-like plot and philosophical balance, slow and heavy performance by actors, music, lighting (the effect of natural light), photography, Set the scene, as all the wind, rain, light, mountains, fire, and water in nature are the gifts of art and turned into the movie, the master of the master. The handling of shadows in the film is very clever. At the beginning, only the real Shingen has shadows. After Shingen's death, only shadow warriors have shadows. When shadows are questioned about their identity, the decisive two have shadows and shadows don't, um, It's wonderful. The identity change of the shadow warrior of the bright line coincides with the fall of the dark line country. After the death of Zhengzhu, the country received internal and external doubts. After the shadow was expelled, the country gradually collapsed. After the shadow turned into a ghost-like existence and followed the Zhengzhu to die on the battlefield, the country was truly destroyed. Fast as the wind, gentle as the forest, aggression as fire, immobile as a mountain, these are the inner spirits that enable a great country to become strong, and it can also make an originally uneducated condemned prisoner sacrifice his life for this spirit. Originally, I had not read this history, but I can also feel that the spirit of the Japanese people's willingness to perform cesarean section has a profound historical origin.

    Tatsuya Nakadai sat behind my seat halfway through, daring not to come out nor turn his head to look at him. The lights came on, as if in a barrier. Watching the story about five hundred years ago filmed thirty years ago with the people on the screen, the most peculiar viewing experience, life is complete. Wu Yusen, you robbed the benefits of our fans!

    "With the deity, the stand-in is meaningful. What happens to the stand-in when the deity is dead?" Maybe this is Kurosawa Akira's discussion of the word "movie", and the development of his movie is gradually moving towards Kurosawa Akira's inner "picture" " approached. Akira Kurosawa also told the audience once again that it is not impossible to simplify the plot of the movie, and how to make such a simple story into a three-hour feature film. Among them, the picture of "Dream" will inevitably remind people of "Dream" 10 years later. "As fast as the wind, as gentle as the forest, fierce as the fire, and fixed as the mountain." The wind stops the forest, destroys the fire, extinguishes the mountain, and everything is blurred, and an era ends. Personally, I like Akira Kurosawa, but I am not too impressed with this later work.

Kagemusha quotes

  • Nobukado Takeda: I know it is difficult. I was for a long time the lord's double. It was torture. It is not easy to suppress yourself to become another. Often I wanted to be myself and free. But now I think this was selfish of me. The shadow of a man can never desert that man. I was my brother's shadow. Now that I have lost him, it is as though I am nothing.
