Akira Kurosawa, I'm a fan

It should be a movie that reflects human nature.

At first, the plot thought it was very cliché to follow the "prophecy", but the ending was very surprising: the spider forest did move, but the enemy army cut down the trees as a barrier.

This ending reveals that the so-called "prophecy" is only the result, but there are many ways to achieve this result. For example, in the prophecy that the first male will be the city lord, killing the lord is indeed a method, but if the old city lord is killed in the process of attacking the enemy, the first male as the number one hero and confidant, plus the support of the second hero and powerful male second, also will be the mayor.

The prophecy that the second son of the male will be the city lord can be like the plot, leading the army to kill the capital; it may also be that the first male recognizes the second male son as his heir and will naturally pass on the throne.

The front is a bit boring, but the ending at the back suddenly raised the height of the whole movie, showing the suspicion of people's hearts. In particular, the movement of the spider forest is actually a plot of the enemy, which makes the prophecy less important, or deepens the theme: it is people themselves who really drive people's hearts.

It also shows that the essence of power is the support of subordinates. The old city lord was assassinated without the support of his men; the man was overthrown without the support of his men. This may be the reason why many people are keen on the emperor's mind.

    Everything is the choice of Steins;Gate. Shakespeare's four tragedies tend to be fatalistic, as ambiguous as the chicken or the egg. Akira Kurosawa's portrayal of women is basically not simple, all of them are like hanging out. What impressed me the most was the wife of the eldest son in "Ran", she was a ruthless and decisive person. How did all the arrows shoot at the end? If I had three boats, it would be a shadow for a lifetime.

    1. The character is silent for a long time, and the camera is slowly pushed. With the sound of instrumental music, the character turns and the camera is adjusted accordingly. The solidified potential flows. 2. The characters are mad, move the mirror restraint, and follow a slight heel. The characters seem to be colliding left and right within the frame, but they cannot rush out of the painting, showing the meaning of the cage of fate. 3. Hurrying to slow down, Washatsu kills Miki and skips the Hongmen banquet that has not been attended, and joins the victory. 4. But the climax is too fast and not satisfactory.

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.
