Spider Nest - Power and Prophecy

Maegan 2022-03-21 09:02:10

People suffer from being unable to predict their own future. If one day they can learn one or two things, what should people do?

Was it necessary to kill the monarch to be the castle lord of Washatsu? I don't think so, maybe there are other opportunities. It was as if Washatsu used Miki to know the trap set by the prophecy to get rid of him. Miki thought that his son's succession as a castle depended on Washatsu's succession, but he did not expect his end and his son's revenge.

Even if people know a thing or two about their future, but there is no practical and practical guidance for success, it is better not to learn such prophecies. Washatsu was besieged by the spider nest city, and went to the forest to ask the witch, but the witch's information actually accelerated her demise.

The person who taught the prophecy didn't charge for it, and the terrifying prophecy x ambition made Washatsu a slave of the devil. Perhaps what the witch wanted was a forest full of corpses.

In fact, both Washizu and Miki should think about it for the first time. Why do people make prophecies for you for free? There is no winner in Spider Nest City.

    Desires, ambitions, suspicions, anxiety, and conscience in people's hearts are all intertwined in Kurosawa's lens. It depicts a ghostly human tragedy, and the slightest chill soaks into the skin, making people shiver. It itself is like the spider hand forest in the movie, filled with endless layers of white fog of desire, and smeared with terrifying blood on the bones of the forest, reflecting the spider nest city in everyone's heart.

    The female characters in Akira Kurosawa's film are either Nemesis or disaster... He and Mizoguchi Kenji are really two extremes. It is also a tragic adaptation of Shakespeare.
