Japanese director Akira Kurosawa's masterpiece "Ran" is said to be based on Shakespeare's work "King Lear". Kurosawa chose the background of the Warring States Period in Japan, which reflects the wisdom of the great director. Only in the era of separatist rulers is the most suitable to express the cruelty, perfidy and sadness of people who seek peace and friendship in troubled times. At the beginning, Wang Yiwen Xiuhu, the most powerful prince in the Haiye Plain, was already old. At the age of seventeen, he became violent, killed countless people, burned countless cities, and created this foundation. Three sons surrounded him. The wife of the eldest son Xiaohu and the second son Jiro are the daughters of the princes. At that time, Yiwen Xiuhu killed Feng's father and brother, forced Feng's mother to commit suicide, and married Feng to his eldest son, Xiaohu; Jiro is his wife. Now, Saburo Naoto has not yet married, and the two princes Suzuki and Shouga want to marry their daughters to Saburo, so that they can get a foot in the huge family business of the Yiwen Xiuhu family. Just as they were arguing, Yiwen Xiuhu actually fell asleep! Saburo's poor father has aged, and Xiuhu Yiwen is also weak. He handed over the main city to Taro, the second city to Jiro, and the third city to Saburo, and told them to share weal and woe. Taro Jiro claimed to help his father carry heavy burdens, which was essentially asking for power. Saburo firmly opposed it, saying that his father had already set an example of treachery, and his father's design could only be an extravagant hope. Hideto was enraged and exiled Saburo and Hirayama, a credible minister who protected Saburo. The clown who served him grabbed his feet and stopped him, but he didn't stop him. The desperate Saburo was recruited by Shouga as his son-in-law. Before Saburo left, he instructed Hirayama to secretly follow Yiwen Xiuhu. Yiwen Xiuhu returned to the first city, ready to move to the vice city. The moving team meets Feng's moving team, and Feng refuses to give way. The scene of Yiwen Xiuhu's concubines kneeling and worshipping Feng makes Yiwen Xiuhu extremely unbalanced. But the more embarrassing thing followed, Taro forced Ichimon Hideto to hand over the last bit of power. Xiuhu asked Taro to be at the mercy of Feng, Taro replied: When the hen crows, the rooster crows. Desperate, Hideto Ichimon took more than 30 attendants to the second city to join Jiro. He asked if Mo hates him? The silent man who was chanting Buddha replied no. Xiuhu was amazed at the completely different attitudes of Mo and Feng. However, Jiro said that he could only accept his father, but not his servants. Yiwen Xiuhu was extremely sad: "How can one live alone? Those who can live alone are beasts!" Yimon Xiuhu had to sleep in the wilderness with his entourage. At this time, Pingshan appeared, gave him food, and told him that Saburo's soldiers in the third city had all gone to Shouga to find Saburo, and that the third city was under the jurisdiction of the other two generals. A squire proposed to go to the third city, but Hirayama stopped him, and the clown also said, "Hell is in front of you, and heaven is far away." But Hirayama and the clown were abandoned. In the middle of the night, Taro and Jiro came to hunt down his father, and the two defenders of the castle also attacked the palace. It turned out that they colluded. The guards of Yiwen Xiuhu were all killed, and the concubines also committed suicide. Hideto Ichimon went mad when he saw that Shijirou's general Tetsu killed Taro. Hirayama and the clown find the crazy Yiwen Xiuhu and take them to a ruin to hide. The clown asked Wen Xiuhu: "Do you remember? This is the castle you burned down with your own hands." It turns out that this is Mo's hometown. A word is beautiful. Pingshan wants to take Yiwen Xiuhu to Shouhe to join Saburo, but Yiwen Xiuhu thinks he has no face to see him. Kaede presents Taro's power helmet to Jiro and seduces Jiro. After having a relationship with Jiro, she coquettishly forced Jiro to kill his original partner Mo. Jiro asked Tie to kill Mo, but Tie came back with a stone fox head, telling Jiro that the insidious woman was a fox who specialized in ruining the foundation. After Mo was released by Tie, he fled to the ruins with his blind brother. When Xiuhu saw Mo, he was greatly stimulated. Saburo came with people and horses one after another, and Jiro listened to Feng's words and decided to fight Saburo. Tie and other generals tried their best to dissuade them, saying that both Suzuki and Shouga had already brought troops, and they were only waiting to snatch the foundation of the Ichimon family when they both suffered. Let Saburo look for a character Xiuhu alone, looking for an opportunity to ambush. Saburo really only took Pingshan to find Yiwen Xiuhu, Yiwen Xiuhu lay motionless in the crevice of the stone, he said it was a coffin. He lay in the "coffin" and looked at the sky, which was changing rapidly. A character Xiuhu murmured to himself: "What place is this? What era is this?" Yiwen Xiuhu was finally moved by Saburo's filial piety. He rode behind Saburo's horse and said that when it was only him and Saburo, he would have a lot of heartfelt words with Saburo. When the father and son were laughing, a gunshot rang out, and Saburo fell from the horse. A word shows the tiger's mourning, and the corpse weeps bitterly. He asks why Hirayama and Joker are still alive, while Saburo is dead. All his hopes went with Saburo, and he died by Saburo's side without coming up in one breath. Mo can't worry about her maid and wants to go back to the city to have a look. Before leaving, he gave his younger brother a Buddha statue, saying that the Buddha would protect his younger brother. However, the silence never returned. The soldiers of Suzuki and Shouga pressed down on the border, but Jiro’s subordinates brought back Mo’s head. Tie was very angry. Jiro hurriedly went to find Feng Wenji, and Tie asked: “Is the leader of the Ichimon family, Your Majesty or Feng? I am following Your Majesty, not Feng. !" He rushed into Feng's room in front of Jiro and scolded Feng, Feng said blankly that this city was her family's city, and all this was exactly what she expected. Tie desperately kills Feng, but what can he do? The one-word family is doomed. The blind brother walked to the cliff without knowing it, and staggered and dropped the painting. Under the bleak setting sun, the Buddha smiled on the ruins. What is this place? What era is this? It's not just the Warring States period of Japan under the lens of Akira Kurosawa. Madness is the hallmark of troubled times. As Saburo said: "We were born in troubled times, and we cannot survive without betrayal." Taro and Jiro, who were brothers, and Kaede, who was dominated by hatred... Although their deaths were self-inflicted, good people still cannot escape. tragic fate.
