Before I became a Sanada fan girl, I liked Summer Wars very much; I revisited it today, combined with the history of the Sanada family, I understood more stalks, and got more moved, so I re-summarize myself here. Down.
At the beginning of the movie, the audience followed Natsuki and Kenji on the North Road Shinkansen, all the way west to Ueda Castle in Nagano Prefecture, the hometown of the Sanada clan. Along the way, Ueda's beautiful pastoral scenery was in full view, and the bus that the two were riding also painted the pattern of Sanada's six pennies.
In the whole film, there are too many elements that suggest that the prototype of Natsuki's main family, the Jinnai family, is the Sanada family of Shinano's side during the Warring States Period. The main house of Xia Xi's family is located in an old house on the outskirts of Ueda Castle, and its appearance is very similar to the ruins of Sanada Castle in Ueda; the Sanada family's heirloom armor "Lifting Ladder" is placed in the hall of the house, and it is also decorated with a weapon that the Sanada family is very fond of; The family crest on grandma's yukata is also the swallow pattern widely used by the Sanada family; according to grandma's second son, Uncle Shitotsuwansuke, the Jinai family was once an important minister of the famous Takeda family in the Warring States Period. It was weakened, but it became the Shinano generation, and it still clings to the land of Shinano - bingo, which fits seamlessly with the story of the three generations of the Sanada family. Descendants of the Jinai family living all over Japan came to celebrate the grandmother's birthday on the day of her grandmother's birthday, but they were trapped on the road because of OZ's problems. One of them came from Sendai, and apparently escaped to the Oshu Date family for shelter. The descendant of Sanada Yukimura, it is completely confirmed!
The Sanada family was definitely not strong in the history of the Warring States Period, but left behind many wonderful and heroic stories; Xia Zhan very well integrated the various stories of this family into the character and life of the descendants of the family, and vividly shaped a family with a long history. A historical image of a family that survived tenaciously by bravery and wisdom.
Let's talk about Grandma Jinnai Rong first. In my opinion. The image of the grandmother is probably the combination of the Warring States strategist Sanada Masako and Masako's second son, Japan's first soldier Sanada Yukimura - just like her grandchildren call her, she is "Japan's first grandmother". Following the tradition of the Sanada family, my grandmother respected Bushido very much. At the end of the Warring States Period, the prosperity of the samurai gradually declined, but Yukimura adhered to his creed as a samurai and was unwilling to bow to the Tokugawa family, and resolutely joined the Toyotomi side. fight. In the face of the difficulties caused by OZ, my grandmother remained calm in the face of danger. She kept calling to encourage all members of the family to make concerted efforts to stabilize people's hearts. A bunch of surnames arrived, such as Yamamoto (Kansuke), Iifu (Huchang), Japan is still alive, Takeda is not gone), and the method is quite the style of Sanada Yasuo Masayoshi uniting Shinano and Takeda's relics. The thing that made me cry the most was that after my grandmother scolded Wabisuke by waving a childish sword just like Yukimura attacked the Tokugawa family, she found Kenji that night, before she died of a sudden myocardial infarction, and solemnly gave her love. His granddaughter was entrusted to Kenji - this is simply a replay of Yukimura's entrusting his beloved daughter, Ame, to the chief minister of the Date family, Shigemura Katakura, before he sacrificed in the summer battle! (Tearful to death)
Next, let’s talk about my favorite character, Kazuma, the younger brother who looks like a combination of young Brahma Maru and Oguri Garo. The whole setting of Kazuma is undoubtedly a reference to Sanada Yukimura - the same red dress, OZ's fighting legend and Sengoku's military legend, can't match. Just like Yukimura, the second son of the family, at the beginning of the story, Kazuma didn't get much attention from the family; he was always alone in his room, studying King Katzuma's martial arts alone. But when the real battle came, Kazuma stepped forward - first saving Kenji the squirrel at stake with a beautiful defense, and then playing "Diao Ye Fu" in OZ (yes, the second time Ueda and Sanada in the battle) The tactics used by father and son, and then used to capture Love Machine alive, played a key role in bringing the king into the urn, and his every battle was as handsome and beautiful as Sanada Yukimura. After the siege of the Love Machine failed and the satellite bomb was activated, the extremely depraved Kasuma chose to single-handedly take on the big boss who had already swallowed 400 million accounts, which was quite Sanada Yukimura's style - just like what Grandpa Wansuke said, In the 20th year of Qingchang (1615), their ancestor (Yukimura) took a mere 2,000 people against the tens of thousands of Tokugawa Ieyasu's army in the summer battle of Osaka, and finally died heroically; The way of expressing his inner strong desire to protect his family and his soon-to-be-born sister, he beat the almost invincible boss, and finally the account was defeated and recovered.
As Kasuma's martial arts enlightenment teacher and comrade-in-arms, Kasuma's grandfather and grandma Rong's second son, Jinnai Wansuke, is probably the best fit for the role of Yukimura's father, Masahiko Sanada. Wansuke is as keen on tactics as Changxing, he likes to confront his wife the same, and he is equally proud of himself as a member of the Sanada clan. In the play, every historical neta about the Jinnai family comes from his mouth; during the siege of Love Machine, Wan Zhu and Jia Zhu Ma Ye and Sun wonderfully reproduced the old days when the father and son of Changxing Xingxing Village used two in the battle of Guanyuan. The story of the 30,000-strong army of Tokugawa Hidetada besieged by a thousand people is really exciting! ! ! !
Jinnai Tasuke, the owner of the electrical shop in the town, Jinnai Riichi, a member of the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force, Kenji's good friend Sakuma, and other Jinnai men undoubtedly played the role of the famous ten warriors of the Sanada family, assisting them. Kazuma and Kenji. The Sanada family is famous for being good at employing people, and the most famous is probably the Sanada Ten Warriors under Yukimura. In Summer Wars, these seemingly ordinary Jinnai family members fought at critical moments - Taisuke's supercomputer plus Riichi's high-sensitivity military radar frightened Kenji and Sakuma immediately, almost like a ninja The heroes Sarutobi Sasuke and Kirikin hide their big moves, and if they don't let it go, they will be startled; and when the Love Machine is flooded, a group of firefighters and old men in Jinnai's house have the spirit of copying a guy, and indeed Nezu Jinhawa The three good brothers are like three good brothers, and they are full of blood and applaud.
Next, let's talk about Natsuki and Kenji. In Summer Wars, the relationship between the two resembles Sanada Yukimura's third daughter, Sanada Ume, and Ume's husband, Shigena Katakura. The title of the film is Summer Battle, which is somewhat a tribute to Sanada Yukimura's battle against the Osaka Summer Battle, so selfishly, the hero and heroine and Yukimura's descendants are also put on the same sign. After Yukimura and his eldest son, Dasuke died in battle, Amei, a teenage girl, took on the responsibility of protecting her younger brother and sister. Wearing a white kimono and holding a long blade, she guarded the last hope of the Sanada family. At the last moment when the country was in crisis, Xia Xi stepped forward like Amei, singled out the big Boss with flowers, and gambled on the glory of the family. The male protagonist, Kenji, had nothing to do with the Jinnai family at first, but was moved by the unity of the family and the spirit of Grandma Rong, and volunteered to stand up to fight with the Jinnai family; finally, Kenji changed the satellite falling through wonderful mathematical calculations. Orbit, saving the lives of the whole family. Kenji's behavior is quite similar to the choice made by Ume Sanada's husband Katakura Shige Chang - as the enemy of the Tokugawa faction and Yukimura, Shige Chang has no responsibility to save the Sanada family; but he is influenced by the wisdom and spirit of the Sanada family. Impressed, he agreed to Yukimura's request to protect his descendants. During the war in Osaka, Shigechi rescued the descendants of Yukimura and cooperated with his superior Date family to shelter them in Oshu, so that Yukimura's bloodline was preserved, which has continued to this day.
Finally, let's talk about Wabisuke Jinnai, the family's "born in a famous family, graduated from Dongda University, and studied in the United States". Although it is not a perfect match, in the Sanada family, Masahiko's eldest son and Yukimura's brother Sanada Nobuyuki is probably the character setting that best fits Wabisuke. Like Wabisuke who left the Jinnai family in the early years, Nobuyuki separated from his father and younger brother on the eve of the Battle of Sekihara, and went to the Tokugawa family. Since then, the Sanada family has split into two. Ieyasu did not take trust seriously, and Nobuyuki lived to the age of 93 as the first lord of the Matsushiro domain, and was probably the most successful member of the Sanada family; however, after the defeat of the Kanhara West Army, Nobuyuki could not be with his father and younger brother. After recognizing each other, he had to watch his father die in depression and his younger brother died in Osaka, but he couldn't save him. Like Wabisuke, Nobuyuki seems to be isolated from the family; no matter whether he loves or hates him, he can't go back - the Sanada family is forcibly led by Masahiko Sanada's father and son break (in order to make the blood of the Sanada family. It can be passed down under any circumstances, and Changxing forced his two sons to join the East and West armies respectively), which has also become an eternal regret for the family.
However, the story of Summer Wars resolves the historical regret of the Sanada family. Grandma Rong's tolerance and the gradual understanding of the family in the team made Wabisuke, an illegitimate child, finally accepted by the family and regarded as an upright member of the family; Wabisuke cried out in front of the grandmother's face, "I'm back", All my previous suspicions were released, and I could see my nose and tears streaming down together.
In Grandma Rong's will, Grandma told everyone to sit down and have a good meal, because hunger and loneliness are the worst things. At the dinner table, Wansuke talked about the Osaka Summer Battle, a battle that Sanada Yukimura had to fight even if he knew he would lose.
"No way, who told us to be his descendants; we are also one of such fools."
Looking at the turbulent fate of the Sanada family, and the touching story of the unity of the family in Summer Wars, Looking at this sentence again, it is really... emotional.
