The real blockbuster in my heart

4.5. Another masterpiece by Akira Kurosawa. In Kurosawa Akira's films, I think the backgrounds of good works are set in ancient Japan; modern ones are not good enough. It's a war movie, just like "Ran"; it still makes me emotional because I've watched another movie of the movie history. Youku's resources are very clear, and the font settings are very comfortable; Akira Kurosawa's costumes and colors are top-notch, and this is the real blockbuster in my heart. Zhang Yimou's "Shadow" borrowed from this film; I think they each have their own merits and are excellent (to be precise, "Shadow Warrior" is a classic). I think the film is a relatively small-scale war film; this is the most different point from "Ran". The "small pattern" here means that the main focus of the movie is on the protagonist, but there are also bloody and brutal war scenes in the cold weapon era. At the end of the movie, the substitute was thrown out of the palace because he fell on the horse and was kicked out of the palace; "The strange thing is that he can fool both the enemy and us, but he can't win a horse."

In this scene, Akira Kurosawa satirized the entire human being very boldly;

There's a surreal dream in the middle of the movie; it's good, but a little dizzying.

In the film, the background of Japan's Warring States Period is worthy of careful study; many of Kurosawa's films involve the history of ancient Japan.

I noticed that there is often a cloud of khaki mist in the picture of the movie; it is worth learning from, there is helplessness and criticism of the cruel reality.

The film does have a lot of fatalism in it; thinking on various philosophical levels is what I like very much.

The three-hour viewing experience was full of challenges; it also brought me unprecedented excitement and confidence.

There's not much else to say; a great movie that will definitely be rewatched in the future, and now let me savor the details that amaze me in this film.

    8.0 1. Takeda Shingen's battle is Fenglin volcano, and Emperor Kurosawa's filming is Fenglin forest volcano. 2. Position the long mirror for more than six minutes at the beginning, and then run fast, with infinite tension between static and moving. 3. The battle of Changxiao at the end was indeed tragic, but I always felt that the fighting method was powerless to complain.

    Complementary standard. At noon, I revisited my favorite episode. Manchu civil and military respected the shadow warriors only. As a result, he turned his head and listened to the arrangement of the handyman. It was the best reflection and mockery of power. The central idea of ​​the whole film: resolutely support the Party Central Committee, and whoever supports it in the Central Committee.

Kagemusha quotes

  • Kagemusha: A serious illness can change even a man's heart.

  • Takemaru: Why are you called a mountain, grandfather?

    Kagemusha: [Unaware of the legend behind Shingen's nickname] "Mountain"?

    Takemaru: Everybody calls you that. Where is the mountain? Is it because we have this mountain in our garden?

    Sohachiro Tsuchiya: [Quickly intervening to cover for Kagemusha's ignorance] You know the master's banner. What is printed there?

    Takemaru: [Reciting the slogan on the Takeda clan's banner] Swift as the wind... Quiet as a forest... Fierce as fire... Immovable as a mountain.

    Sohachiro Tsuchiya: The lord is that mountain. Both in battle and at home, he is steadfast, like a mountain. When his army advances, first the horsemen attack, swift as the wind. Second, the lancers raise a forest of spears, advancing with silent resolve. Third, more horsemen engulf the enemy ranks, as mercilessly as fire. And the lord is always behind them, watching over them, immovable as a mountain. That is why our army, from general to foot soldier, can fight so resolutely... Immovable as a mountain. The lord is that mountain. So we call him "the mountain."
