My friend asked me for a review of "A Good Show". I'm sorry, but I didn't have much interest and expectations, so I didn't watch it. I recommended him a novel, "Crime Trafficking", the first 8 chapters of the seventh volume "Dialectical Game", which is my favorite "Desert Island Humanity" so far, which basically satisfied all my fantasies about this subject.
Novels, movies and games, if you watch too much and play too much, you will inevitably feel itchy, and you will fantasize about building your own "script". To say that the script is flattering, it's mostly fragmentary "cool", "hi", "important" "Put it together, think about it, just get over it, don't expect someone to write it out and shoot it someday.
"Desert Island Humanity", this small copy in "Crime Trafficking" satisfied me; "Game Fantasy", "Ready Player One" made many people, including me, happy in the theater to sit or not; The theme of "Martial Arts" is Akira Kurosawa's "Intentional Stick" and "Tsubaki Sanjiro".

It is said that they go through the rivers and lakes, but I have never seen the Chinese people completely separate the temples from the rivers and lakes. Whenever there is a fight, whether it is verbal or not, or fisting, using swords, swords, halberds, and weapons, and even killing him personally. Head rolling, it's politics in the end.
In the first year of junior high school, at the cost of being arrested twice in class and writing a review and calling the parents, I finished reading Jin Yong Gulong's full set and a few Liang Yusheng books by the way. Most of Jin Yong's stories have a clear background in the times. The youthful Youyou, who is full of vigor, will eventually walk on the golden road of "the great hero, who will serve the country and the people". However, Gu Long always blurs the background of the times, randomly setting up a small town, isolated island, setting up a mysterious case, and then sprinkling all kinds of strange organizations, gangs, alliances, and occasionally a "temple", but it is only one of the forces.
So I have always admitted that Jin Yong has higher attainments, but I like Gu Long more. It is definitely not because the prodigal son inside makes me yearn for him.
It's a pity that they avoided the temple, but they still got involved in politics. Gu Long's heroes and villains are always good at self-organization. Besides, they are more lively than Jin Yong when they talk about love.
And the ideal martial arts I "picked up" doesn't need politics or love, and if it has to have a past, I can only sigh when the snow falls.

He suddenly appeared on the side of the road, looking lazily, scratching his head, and tossing a branch into the sky to decide where to go. The ranger warrior, who was obviously armed with stunts, was now a jobless vagabond who was starving. In any era, capable people want to find a good job, either to make a lot of money, or to be in power, and if they pursue a higher level, they will realize their ideals and ambitions. There is a problem with the talent selection mechanism, and this must be an era of collapse.
In fact, from ancient times to the present, when the people encounter difficulties, the first thing that comes to their minds is always the Master Qingtian or the squire and patriarch to preside over justice. Where official and clan management functions are lacking, there are knights. Therefore, looking through the history of novels, the era of knights and roaring rivers and lakes was mostly accompanied by the prosperity of the small commodity economy and the backwardness of official supporting management capabilities.
He walked along the road to a dilapidated town, and a stray dog slipped past in the windy sand with short palms in his mouth. Only this scene was full of sinister. Went to the hotel to have a chat, and sure enough, there were two local evil forces fighting for days, no one could do anything to the other, but they couldn't make peace.
He nodded, thinking to himself, this is the time when the knight should appear.
At this moment, he still has no name, and the immortal name was temporarily created by looking at the scenery outside the window, "I'm in my thirties, just call me Tsubaki Sanjuro!" After he finished speaking, he scratched his head and smiled. "Actually, it's almost forty."

As if he had abandoned the cause and suddenly appeared, when he swept away Xie Ning, slashed the shackles of the hotel owner with one knife, and liberated the town, he turned and left. It's really a matter of brushing off the clothes.
This is a black-and-white film from 1961. From the color, the use of mirrors, to the scene scheduling, from the plot to the characters, everything is simplified and simplified. It has a classical and rough beauty. The more movies you watch, the more comfortable you feel with old movies.
Toshiro Mifune's majesty, quietness, and awe-inspiring unyielding in this allegorical minimalist town burst out into the light of film history.

"The Stick of Heart" draws heavily on the elements of American Westerns, or, in other words, this is a Western. In a chaotic world where the shogunate collapsed and firearms became increasingly popular, samurai who had no one to be loyal to were forced to bid farewell to the traditional Bushido spirit of "loyalty and courage", and instead became oriental cowboy rangers.
Three years later, Sergio Leone shot "Red Dead Redemption" in an almost completely copied form, except for some minor tweaks, many of the passages are exactly the same as the storyboards. At that time, I thought to myself that I had bought the copyright to remake an identical film after three years, and Leone was also big-hearted. Later, I learned that Leonne neither bought the copyright, nor admitted any "reference" or "plagiarism". It's not just a big heart.
Later, Akira Kurosawa sued Leone in court, and he heard that the compensation he received after winning the case was higher than the box office revenue of "The Stick of Heart".
