In fact, I have watched "Chaos" many times. Every time I watch it, a fierce "Chuan" word will appear on the brow. It has always been a cruel enjoyment to watch Akira Kurosawa's movies. I watched it this time to take another look at "Tsurumaru" played by Takeji Nomura.
In 1985, the 19-year-old Takeji Nomura was in Akira Kurosawa's movie "Ran". Nomura Takeji is the starring Mr. Nomura Mansai in the movie "Onmyoji" that many people are familiar with later. Born in a family of Kyogen masters, Nomura Mansai was formerly known as Nomura Takeshi.
PS: To be honest, every time I see Tsurumaru standing alone on the ruins of the ruined city, I feel very sad... Tsurumaru, who is most afraid of being alone, is a lonely living person in the end... Alas...

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!
