This is the ending of the East. It is our aesthetic paranoia.
However, Akira Kurosawa said that he wanted to make this movie from the perspective of heaven.
Saburo's death is certainly tragic, but this is a memorable history, an authentic person sacrificed in blood. Saburo must die. This is the fate of being born in the Warring States Period and being born in a famous family, and it is the logical reincarnation in this story.
You say resentment Feng Ji is cruel. However, who killed her father and brother and seized her home city. All she did was nothing but complain. Hatred will only breed more hatred. The city lord of today is the soul of tomorrow. The three-hundred-year Warring States period allowed the blood of vengeance to penetrate every inch of the land, and the hatred irrigated was filled with flowers of fierce spirits in the mountains and plains.
Mrs. Last is the only ray of sunshine in this story. Those who cleanse their hearts will be favored by gods and Buddhas. Only the willingness of the gods and Buddhas can end this troubled world. If it were not for Tokugawa Ieyasu who brought the light of gods and Buddhas to Japan where gunpowder smoked, there would probably not be a later prosperous Edo period. The Japanese took out this lesson in their own ravaged history, and carefully studied the patience and refuge in it.
I still remember the decisive battle between Sasuke Uchiha and Itachi in Naruto, a passage from Itachi Kishimoto said. Everyone relies on their own knowledge and understanding but is bound by it. They call these reality, but knowledge and understanding are very ambiguous things. That reality may be just an illusion. People are living in self-consciousness. Don't you think so. How far can you see that pair of writing wheels? The story of Naruto is not finished yet, but Kishimoto's mind is very clear, revenge can wipe out Konoha but not hate. The writing wheel eyes blinded by hatred, more and more plunged into darkness. The protagonist of the story, Naruto, became stronger and stronger not because of the power of Nine Tails in his body or his bloodstain, but the compassion and tolerance he cultivated from suffering. This is the sunshine in troubled times and the only hope in Pandora's box. .
People in troubled times are always as humble as the grass, and only the gods and Buddhas in their hearts will take care of themselves. This force is easy to spread and be infected, because this is the only hope and reason for birth. Whether it is the Buddhism Yixiang Sect or the Pure Land Sect of Zen Buddhism that existed before the Warring States Period, or the Western religion (Catholicism) promoted by Mrs. Hosokawa Tadakura, they can flourish in the troubled land. The war of sects is nonsense. Is used. Although countless people died during the 30-year war between Protestantism and old religion in Europe, countless people had been redeemed by the spiritual power of the Lord and the Son at the beginning of its creation. Humans are animals with unusually changeable thinking. Without the guidance and restraints of similar doctrines, the intersecting sharp horns will eventually bleed. It is difficult for people without faith to appreciate the loyalty of the Japanese samurai and the integrity of the European knight's oath to the hilt. They believe that without the dignity of the samurai, the morality of the samurai will be lost, and they will not follow the oath of the hilt. Then get the asylum of Saint George, and these are the basic elements of survival that are more basic than food. If a society does not believe in any glorious power and still has morality, if morality is lost, it can still believe in the law, and if the law is repeatedly manipulated, then there must be a new belief that will breed power to replace the ruined spiritual pillar.
I know Zhang Yimou must have seen this film. His "Hero" is from this film. I don't mind him imitating, there is no way, Kurosawa has become a peak. "Hero" has the shadow of "Chaos" no matter its sensuality or the level it wants to imitate. From the square array of soldiers with colorful back flags, to the historical thinking implied by it. Unfortunately, the distance was widened in the imitation. After watching several movies by Akira Kurosawa, my deep feeling is that the actual development of movies has nothing to do with technology. Without computer special effects, the plot of the story can still be used to kill the audience. I remember the scene of "wind, wind, wind, gale", which obviously imitated the platoons in "Ran", but Kurosawa’s platoons looked like a fairly satisfactory battlefield, and "Hero" looked like audience actors. dress rehearsal. Kurosawa may have good military instruction or he is a good military theorist. Although the number of troops in his deployment is not large, the changes in his formation and type are very real even for laymen, especially in the "Seventh Village guard battle in "Samurai". On the other hand, Zhang Yimou came to the conclusion that extras don’t want money. Looking at the content of the film, "Hero" does have its historical height, subverting the protagonist's oriental aesthetics, so I want to say that the harmony of the world is the mainstream. It is impossible to put personal hatred into it, and the overall situation is important. In "Chaos", there is always no chaos, and the vagueness of hatred and the sadness of human nature are vaguely blown with a flute. Gods and Buddhas are also crying, can Mahayana Buddhism really save sentient beings? This kind of discussion is undoubtedly similar to Hawking's modern quantum physics theory.
I said so much without knowing it. How can the suffering of this world be compensated in the movie. The dream of dying has no more hope.
Caomin's words. Underread.
