They faced each other on the wasteland. For five or six seconds, only the wind was shaking, and then suddenly they drew their swords. Lightning and flint, Tatsuya Nakadai's slash froze halfway, and blood splattered like a faucet in his chest.
This may be the most far-reaching cut-through scene in film history. Years later, the props master still has to recall that he thought he had made a big mistake and waited tremblingly for the emperor's release. Unexpectedly, Akira Kurosawa just smiled and directly kept this exaggerated blood spurting scene.
From "The Stick of the Heart" to "Tsubaki Thirteen", all the little cannon fodders who went forward and succeeded were all stabbed in the body and then slammed into the street cleanly. until this knife.
Since then, blood plasma has become the standard of Zatoushi, the scorpion male wolf, and the Shura Xueji. Swords have no eyes, and severed heads and hands have become commonplace, and it is not trivial to have blood splashing on the ceiling. The monsters or murderers in American plasma horror films are like younger brothers in front of this group of samurai swordsmen.

But Tsubaki Juro, who won the duel, was not happy. His "adolescence" has come.
There are only three kinds of people in "The Stick of Heart", the weak who need to be rescued, the stupid and funny reactionaries, and the great heroes who are perfect in both wisdom and courage.
In "Tsubaki Thirteen", the nine young warriors are still weak and reckless, and the big villains are still funny, but the family owner who has been hidden all the time, as well as the graceful and kind-hearted wife of the family owner, are uncompromisingly better than Thirteen Lang. .
"You are a sharp-edged sword without a scabbard, but a good sword should be kept in a scabbard." He has always been the only one to save the common people, but this time he has been taught a lesson. Oral, so that he, who has always been a hippie unrestrained, bent down willingly and served as a ladder for the owner's wife.

"Women" is one of the myths of Westerns, Bazin said. In that wild world of unpredictable good and evil, at least women are always worthy of respect or pity, no matter how high or low they are born, they are always worthy of love, symbolizing the desire for family, the attachment to the land, and even the maintenance of The moral foundation of the world.
"Intentional Stick" is a Western movie, but the women in it are really not brilliant. One is a cunning and despicable old bustard, and the other is a helpless functional vase. In "Tsubaki Thirty-Law", "women" finally shines.
White camellias, black camellias, and streams are all the beauty of women, a gentle beauty that was never seen in the previous film. Washing your feet by the stream, picking up camellias to drink water, and using fire as an offensive signal is too violent. Why don't you pick a few camellias and go down the river. As for whether white camellias or black camellias are more suitable, it is another aesthetic issue worthy of serious discussion. .

Overheard the conspiracy of the brothel owner, squatted in the corner and stuck out his tongue in disdain.
When I received a thank-you letter from someone, I hummed and said what was so good about it, and looked at it while drinking on the table.
"Great kindness, great virtue, I can't repay it..." "It's easy to talk and talk, just give money."
He always scolded those nine uneasy young people, but he still died for them.
With a big wave of his hand, don't worry about black camellias and white camellias.
The owner of the hotel said in "The Stick with Heart", "I don't have a bad heart, but I just like to put on a show."
Such a gentle uncle.
Although there have been many repetitions from "Intentional Stick" to "Junior Tsubaki", the cooperative relationship between Toshiro Mifune and Akira Kurosawa was almost at an end. It is still a pity, why didn't we make a third episode? I really wanted to know if Tsubaki Shirou, who was full of worries and went into the distance, had an epiphany later, and I really wanted to hear him say with a smile, "I'm already forty years old, so call me Tsubaki Shirou!"
