Iguchi is the inevitable victim of this era. The impact of the changes of the big era on the individual has produced self-awareness. The warrior's personality gradually fades, and a peaceful family has become the most eager and dependent in the heart. So when others can go to drink and have fun after work, he must be walking home every evening.
He is not a weak and incompetent person. When the heavy responsibility of the feudal lord falls on him, his first thought is not allegiance, and he has a strong sense of self-devotion like a normal samurai should respond, but after thinking for a long time before accepting. I think half of it is fear, because even the treasured sword was sold because of his wife's funeral, and the other half is a rebellion against the samurai's spirit of killing as honor, and he is not someone who can kill casually. What he yearns for more is a peaceful life and the love of Pengjiang. But he couldn't. He was a low-level samurai with a meager salary. His life was allegiance. Killing and being killed were natural and honorable.
The film is not as big as The Last Samurai. The big scenes are always narrated in a peaceful manner, focusing on the ordinary life of an ordinary lower-level samurai, but the protagonist must be able to take on the heavy responsibility that others cannot. Prove your talent in the eyes, and you can finally win a beautiful love. In real life, it may not be so ideal, but I still thank the director for his warmth, because when Pengjiang rushed out and threw himself into the wellhead's arms, I was still moved. . Childhood sweethearts are courageous, even if time passes, the initial feelings will still be sultry when they meet again.
The general wearing golden armor in Wujili has turned into a sloppy image with a beard and a bun, but this highlights the splendor of the inner drama, not just the visual favor of the bright appearance, which is a bit like the domestic The blockbuster mechanism is getting better and better, and the production is getting bigger and bigger, but the storytelling is getting worse and worse.
Iguchi finally gave his life for his mission, which was the life of a samurai who he could not escape. Pengjiang's love made his short life beautiful, and the memory of his daughter made his soul rest in peace. Like a small person, there is no brilliance, but the light of love wiped out in life is like a blossoming cherry blossom, full of poetry.
