some thoughts

My favorite movie, Akira Kurosawa's excellent oriental adaptation, with many deeper meanings. Adding three lines in parallel is the best part. It strengthens the closed loop of the drama and the sense of fate of the characters. One line is the old protagonist and the son. The line is the most important dark line (b story: the ladies who burned the city in the last life. This story is very reasonable in the East. The feudal system is the most important thing about the king's authority, flattering and admonishing. It is not uncommon for the infatuation and desire for power to lead to all betrayals. There is even a betrayer's suspicion of the betrayal Evil overpowers justice This is the world seeking sorrow instead of tranquility but pain Seeing in the first city people are fighting each other for tragedy and pain Celebrating the absurd family tragedy of war for killing Human tragedies get rights, rituals, music, and colors can be broken. Colors differentiate between forces and characters. In the grasslands in the wind, I can't tell the difference between heaven and hell. I saw the city that I burned in the past. The causal woman is the avenger, the conspirator, the knowledge of evil, fate is the fruit of evil, and another princess who fought hatred with hatred and hatred with Buddha also died of her hatred.

The long shot of the funeral at the end, forward and backward, montage sentences, Buddhist books, scattered gods and Buddhas, grief for human beings

Ran quotes

  • Kyoami: Are there no gods... no Buddha? If you exist, hear me. You are mischievous and cruel! Are you so bored up there you must crush us like ants? Is it such fun to see men weep?

    Tango: Enough! Do not blaspheme! It is the gods who weep. They see us killing each other over and over since time began. They can't save us from ourselves.

  • Hidetora: What madness have I spoken? Wherein lies my senility?

    Saburo Naotora Ichimonji: I'll tell you. What kind of world do we live in? One barren of loyalty and feeling.

    Hidetora: I'm aware of that.

    Saburo Naotora Ichimonji: So you should be! You spilled an ocean of blood. You showed no mercy, no pity. We too are children of this age... weaned on strife and chaos. We are your sons, yet you count on our fidelity. In my eyes, that makes you a fool. A senile old fool!
