"Look at the ruins full of lust and ambition: the spider's nest city"

Lucas 2022-03-21 09:02:10

The world is so ugly, it is born in the world.

As cheap as an ant, and yet stealing a life, why bother asking yourself how stupid it is.

Life is like a flower, it comes and goes in a hurry, and it must eventually turn into a carrion skeleton.

For the lust for power, people do not hesitate to burn their bodies and jump into the deep pool of five turbidities.

Sins hoarded, to the end of confusion.

The carrion fell to the ground and blossomed, the stench dissipated, and the fragrance was released.

Funny people, so ridiculous.

Looking at the ruins full of lust and ambition, wandering ghosts still linger.

Human desire is like a tragic battlefield, no matter ancient or modern, it will never change.

PS: This sung harmony poem appears at the beginning and end of the movie, which can be pondered with the plot and theme of the movie.

    Basically the same level as Zhang Guoshi’s shooting thunderstorms into golden armor... Kurosawa feels how obsessed with the big scene, he has to let a large group of soldiers or a bunch of horses run around... Well, but how many This lens and certain elements are pretty good, such as the scene where the bird is flying around the room the night before death~ I like it~

    Besides the lens of the logo, this line is also amazing..

Throne of Blood quotes

  • Taketori Washizu: I am terribly drunk...

  • Old Ghost Woman: [singing] Men are vain and death is long, And pride dies first within the grave, For hair and nails are growing still, When face and fame are gone, Nothing in this world will save, Or measure up man's actions here, Nor in the next - for there is none, This life must end in fear, Only evil may maintain, An afterlife for those who will, Who love this world - who have no son, To whom ambition calls, Even so - this false fame falls, Death will reign - man dies in vain.
