The next day I finished watching Akira Kurosawa's "Shadow Warrior".
This is a serious literary and artistic drama, which may be a little dull for some people. At the same time, it is also an excellent war history, which deeply depicts the tragic and solemn Nagashino War of Japan during the Warring States Period.
Viewing is mainly based on impressions. Since it is said that it is a literary drama, we will discuss the profoundness.
So far, I most want to talk about the two impressions that I have experienced in the play.
1. In any case, full respect for the opponent.
When the opponent Tokugawa Ieyasu received the news of Shingen's injury, his subordinates wanted to persuade him to enter. Ieyasu said: "Shut up. Although I lost to him in the three-way war, I am not a coward. I will not die for him. And proud." Then he was sitting upright: "No one in this world can match Shingen, he is just over fifty, it would be a pity if he was actually assassinated.
Three years later, Oda Nobunaga learned that After hearing the real news of Xinxuan's death, he stared blankly and said, "Xinxuan, you really belong to you, and you have been deceived by my Nobunaga after three years of death. "Get up and stand up, open the closed fan, and sing the famous "Fifty Years of Life" in his life, mourning Shingen, the hero's loneliness.
"Fifty Years of Life" shows Nobunaga's thinking about the universe and all things in life, and the atmosphere is sad.
2. Dedication.
In the long history of Japan, there is no lack of dedication. This is the product of a man.
Dedication relies on two points in the play, loyalty to people and ideas
; The attitude of giggling and ridiculing in return of loyalty to death, but not understanding its cultural and human nature, and more importantly, not knowing it.
Shadow warriors have learned this lesson well.
For the first time, I was disappointed by Xinxuan's bearing, and he was determined to be a leader after Xinxuan's death. He continued his legacy and lost his role as the protagonist. Being in a fantasy world, he was tortured.
After the three-year legacy ended, he left in despair, feeling lost.
In the battle of Changxiao, the shadow warriors sneaked to the battlefield, and witnessed Xinxuan's whole life's efforts and imprints being destroyed, and his heart was like a knife. Shouting loudly, the sound was lost in the thunderous hooves of the horses.
Died in battle between heaven and man, drifting in the swift stream, drifting away from the flag of the general.

    Katsuyori Takeda: [Gives it a quick glance] A rainbow.

    Masakage Yamagata: You're wrong! It is your late father's instructions not to proceed. He's telling you to stay in your domain and guard it. Those were your father's last words. If you do that, nothing can harm us.

    Katsuyori Takeda: Harm? An ominous word. Since the time of our ancestors, the Takeda have never run from a fight.

    Katsuyori Takeda: [Addressing his army] Forward!... Forward!

  • Nobunaga Oda: [Giving battle instructions to his messengers on horseback] Tell the gunners to shoot the horses first. The Takeda cavalry cannot fight without horses.
