dusk, dusk

Such a story penetrates the screen and time, and slowly walks into my body.

The action, emotion, and rhythm of the whole film are just right, without any sense of abruptness. People like Qingbingwei are very rare and precious in any era. He may have experienced a lot of suffering, been criticized a lot, and could not get away from the times and history, but he has always maintained his perseverance. It's not because of how superhumanly strong and noble he is, it's just that the corpse of the peasant swimming down the icy snow water tells him how hard it is to survive, and the daughters who study and work hard at home tell him that life is full of hope, The lord's warnings and the orders of his superiors reminded him of the social status of a low-ranking samurai. He took all this in his heart, and lived in the cracks of it all with perpetual patience.

There are a lot of places in it that left a deep impression on me - looking at Pengjiang silently in the room from the fireplace, seeing her eyes sparkling with a smile, her heart is full of warmth; Fighting, although half of the movements were covered, the gurgling sound of blood always touched people's hearts; Pengjiang sent Qingbingwei away, every movement and every expression was full of sad love, which made me suddenly I understand how affectionate it is to comb my lover's hair...

There are many similar details that are difficult to generalize.

Although the rhythm of the whole film is slow, but for the emotional explosion, it is really good. "Since I was a child, the dream of marrying you and going home has never faded." "May you be safe." At that time, tears brewed from a very complicated emotion welled up in my eyes.

Dusk, the junction of day and night, is like a poor but not depressed life, a deep and unswerving love. This is Twilight Qingbingwei, this is his life.

It seems that there is one more movie that I want to watch several times when I grow up.

    4- Yamada: "Samurai have a strong sense of responsibility in their hearts, and they can be calm in the face of a simple life. For them, poverty is not a shameful thing. No matter how poor, they must live cleanly." Emotional restraint is well portrayed. , and it is decisively broken when it is too real. Some of the three views that are not so integrated with the times, Sebei also has the confidence to hold and the courage to adhere to, which is the preciousness of the characters themselves. Tomoe's beauty speaks for itself.

    Yamada Yoji was already such a director back then, using calm film language to narrate a story that is not thrilling but deeply touching. The forbearance of Qingbingwei, the helplessness of being rejected when he confessed, and the sympathy of the fallen people in the end of the world, to the helpless confrontation at the end, the stories are interlocking, and the scenes are simple but enough to show the style that the director wanted. The sadness that started after reading it turns into a comfortable, beautiful work

The Twilight Samurai quotes

  • Seibei Iguchi: I am ashamed to say that over many years of hardship with two daughters, a sick wife and an aged mother, I have lost the desire to wield a sword. A serious fight, the killing of a man, requires animal ferocity and calm disregard for one's own life. I have neither of those within me now. Perhaps in a month... alone with the beasts in the hills I could get them back. But tomorrow, I am afraid, is completely impossible.

  • Zenemon Yogo: So they sent you...

    Seibei Iguchi: Zenemon Yogo, by order of the clan, I come for your life. Draw your sword, please.

    Zenemon Yogo: [Intoxicated] Have a drink? I know you're all keyed up, but I'm going to run.

    Seibei Iguchi: Run?

    Zenemon Yogo: Yep. I want you to let me get away. If you please.

    Seibei Iguchi: I didn't expect that fromt he clan's best one-sword man. My orders are to kill you. I can't let you escape.

    Zenemon Yogo: Don't be so impatient, you can kill me at anytime. I'd like to talk to you. Have a seat. It's a nice day.
