First of all, chivalry is hard work. In the novel, he travels all over the world, tastes delicious food, and traverses fame, all only to satisfy the desires of the viewers rather than the real life of the knights. In the film, the protagonist also eats potatoes and cold rice. Wearing rags. Covetousness makes people cherish life. Without the most calm preparation for death all the time, who would take such a risk to do something unnameable? Therefore, we have seen the second point, the motive of being a hero.
The protagonist is a pure chivalrous person. In the whole film, no matter what good or bad deeds he does, he is very calm, and he doesn't even keep his real name. The representative of true chivalrous spirit. Only the motives under this belief are the motives of the real chivalrous. I see that many protagonists in Jin Yong's novels succumb to many vulgar moral motives. Just people. And the protagonist achieves complete detachment from the vulgar moral concept, and the deceitful comfort of lying, which is due to the high level of his chivalrous spirit, and the person created by this spirit is an alien.
Then we talk about aliens. Ordinary people live according to the ordinary spirit in the ordinary world, while the extraordinary can create an extraordinary world in the ordinary world with his spirit as the origin of the order, and become the creator of order. This requires the aliens to exercise great perseverance on their body and mind, abandon all ordinary optimism and completely take their own morals as pleasure in their mood, which the protagonist of this film has. So I can eat and drink in one bucket, I can go away even though thousands of people are gone, I can be loyal like a deceitful person, I can see death like a home, I can not care about the satisfaction brought by all the vanity and real gain, and I can do things in essence. Get rid of your clothes, leave no body and name behind." What is the figure of the knight? Completely contrary to what our businessmen imagined: eating poorly, suffering a lot, practicing qigong, and dying quickly. Without great beliefs, there would be no real knights. Not only a knight, but to truly become an outstanding person, at least half of them must be aliens, or even purely aliens. After decades of hard work, the skill of slaying dragons that has been practiced for decades may eventually be destroyed without any fame, but if you can be content with it, you may become a real outstanding person at that time, if the time is right. . In fact, the allegory of dragon slaying is positive. Zhuangzi's original text should say that it was useless for many years after it was completed. As a result, one day the dragon really appeared, and then the article disappeared in the long river of history. The simplest truth, without the preparation and hobby of practicing dragon slaying skills for decades, how can one become a decent character?
It is true that the knight portrayed by Akira Kurosawa is the essence of the real knight. The American western version of the knight portrayed in Red Dead Redemption later has a higher intellect, but the essence is still the same. Therefore, inquiring about the origin of the spirit of knighthood may be the highest product of the true spirit of non-order and justice in the history of human development. It comes from human nature, so things should be the same!
