Kurosawa's ancient costume martial arts film has reached its peak in this drama, and I personally think it even surpassed the previous "Intentional Stick". The key is that the director suddenly realized the righteousness of martial arts and the avenue of life. A very interesting section in the film is the wife of the manager and her daughter, when Tsubaki Juro and the others were discussing the signal of conspiring to launch an attack, the two women were at the side discussing whether to use red camellia or white camellia, and they were very devoted. Compared with Tsubaki Sanjiro's murderous aura, the manager's wife and daughter were calm, as if not their own family members were detained, they participated in the process of escape, and they called the manager an old fox. . The famous saying of Mrs. Manager in the film-a good knife should be in the sheath is also a summary of Kurosawa Akira's past outlook on life. Could it be that seeing a similar family in a Japanese costume film, I feel deeply that if there is such a family in reality, their daughter must be a rare marriage partner. In addition, the director used a lot of elevation angles to shoot, making the characters either extremely tall or extremely ferocious, and the formation of the nine samurai is very neat and pleasing to the eye.
