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.

    Ethics can eat people, and Bushido can eat people. These are all tragedies under the strong discipline of society. It's a good story, but I'm still indifferent to Kobayashi. The shots and performances are very delicate, even beautiful, but they can't mobilize people's emotions, and even a little irritable at the end, maybe there is something missing in his movie.

    There is a story within a story, and there is a truth behind the truth.
