Trapped beasts take vengeance on cages, not hunters

It's been a long time since I was stimulated by anything to make my scalp tingle. I can only say that although I was almost scared, I will definitely watch it again and again in the future.

The majestic armor and family letter at the beginning, one is pretending nothing happened after being shattered, and the other is a materialized power distortion narrative history.

Incision is not only a bargaining chip, but also a punishment, it is also said to be an honor, and it is also a moral requirement.

The shame of the bushido and the honor of being incisive in the mouth of the old man were combined into a body clip, and together everyone who entered the clip was crushed to death.

The so-called "begging for a woman with nothing to do" actually implied that he could only be matched with his own life. In the context of the film, the morality of the so-called Bushido would inevitably push him to the belly.

When I was watching the movie, I was actually waiting for Jinyun Hanshiro's death. In my heart, I always thought that he had several options. He took the initiative to obediently cut his abdomen, chopped Yu Lao in revenge, and chose to kill himself. In the end, Yu Lao did not cut it, and fell off an armor without damage. He still took revenge on Bushido within the logic of Bushido, and Yu Lao acquiesced in killing the ronin with a musket, but it showed that he did not protect the spirit of Bushido with his own life. A man who keeps asking others to obey the noble Bushido spirit does not believe in Bushido. The highest revenge of an anti-Bushido rebel is still the symbol of breaking Bushido. Still trapped in what he hates after resisting. The trapped beast finally bites the cage, not the hunter.

I hope Jinyun is another way of self-termination, rather than cutting the abdomen.

    Hashimoto Shinobu's script handling has always been long-winded and preachy, but the core is very exciting and can rise to the height of philosophy. The film's satirical reflection on the spirit of Bushido is very profound, adding different contexts from the perspective of different classes, which is very appealing to me, but unfortunately the overall rhythm is not well grasped. I think flashbacks are a lazy narrative method. It is too simple and rigid. Although the narrative is completed, it has a great impact on the rhythm. Hashimoto Shinobu likes to handle the script this way, which is the case with Rashomon. If the memory of the protagonist samurai is taken out as a second chapter, it can not only ensure the completeness of the belly-cutting scene, but also not actively express the relationship between the characters, but also establish the suspense of the relationship between the characters in the two chapters. Reason, after all revenge is the main goal, and it would be better if truth and reflection should be left to the audience

    The tragedy of Bushido + Tower of Babel. A: I am willing to accept the blame for the loss (Jungle Theory) B: Comparing the heart to the heart to be fair and just (the view of good and evil). Under the same set of game rules, the two passers-by are still guarding their own interpretations. After the long debate, they can only perform their own duties. It's not a bloody feud, but Jinyun's practice of attacking/preaching (ideological incision) to powerful groups in order to complain of being "suicided" is very thought-provoking. Actors and Toru Takemitsu don't like much.
