A war has changed so many people. It is said that prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer. Those who suffered the worst disasters in the war were the ordinary people.
Genjuro, who was at the end of the Warring States Period, made a small fortune in the war at the beginning, so he encouraged his wife Miyagi and their children and family, sister Abin and brother-in-law Tobei to make ceramics together to make money, but they were burning. In the process of making and selling, because the risk was too great, Miyagi and his son were asked to go back first, and only the three of them were left to transport and sell ceramics. This time, the situation has changed dramatically, and too many things have happened, which changed the initial life of each of them.
Genjuro met a noble lady Wakasa, indulged in her gentle village, did not ask about world affairs, and was finally met by a parade Taoist, the Taoist explained the situation to him and let him see Wakasa's true face, ? This made him wake up and return to reality. Nanke has a dream and a pillow of yellow beams. The gentle village in the dream is just a big dream now, but for him and his wife, it has become a mistake that can never be made up.
When he woke up and returned home, he saw his long-lost wife and son, enjoying the usual warmth at home, but how precious this moment was to him. At this time, he may still be fortunate, still thinking of apologizing to his wife for his actions, and his wife is waiting for him to return safely at home. But only the next day I found out that all this was just a dream, my wife had already left and died in that war. Yesterday's encounter was more like the wife's reluctance to part with her husband, even though she died until she stayed here and only wanted to see her husband for the last time. Finally, meet, consummate, and leave.
Let’s talk about Abin and Fujibei. The husband is obsessed with becoming a samurai. After selling ceramics to make money, he used them to buy armor and weapons, and he took the goat to get the head of the enemy general as a gift to the adults. By accident, he became famous. However, his wife was insulted by another part of the soldiers on the way to pursue him, and had to become a prostitute to live. When a successful husband and a disgraced wife met in a brothel, the wife was full of complaints and distress. If it wasn't for the pursuit of him, who wanted to become a samurai, he wouldn't be where he is now. Now the two of them meet here, but their identities are vastly different. But fortunately, it gave them a relatively happy ending. Fuji Biewei gave up all of this, accompanied his wife back to his hometown, honestly and diligently became a farmer, worked steadfastly, and started life again.
It's all a dream, and some people weave a dream, trapping others in the dream, and trapping themselves here. Some people died in this dream, but they are still looking forward to a good ending. Some people have experienced tragic experiences, but in the end they choose to continue to live and move forward. Only by watching the peaceful life of this group of people, can they understand that the essence of life is simplicity and purity.
I read some explanations about the aesthetics of this movie, but I still don't understand a little bit. I will take a closer look at it when I have the opportunity in the future.
