One of Kurosawa Akira's classic samurai movies, a parody of Red Dead Redemption. At first glance, I was confused by the title of the movie "Use the Heart Stick", and I didn't know what it meant. I checked the transliteration, and the meaning from the Japanese dictionary: 1. Bodyguard; 2. A stick behind the closed door; 3. A stick for self-defense. According to the movie itself, it is more appropriate to translate it as a thug.
A sloppy ronin, scratching his itch like Jigong from time to time, walks aimlessly, not knowing where he is coming from, not knowing where he is going, when he reaches a fork in the road, he throws branches into the sky, and goes wherever it points. Back then, he stepped into the arena with martial arts, but what about his reputation? What about fine wine? What about women? There are only three meals that are not settled and the freedom to move forward without a fixed place.
Thinking about the decent life of the modern company and home, I can't tell whether I am lucky or envious.
Everything is subject to God's will, and everything is the best arrangement. If he is less than forty, he might as well be called Thirteen. Sir, I am always thirty years old.
There is murder in this town. Touch your belly and enter the restaurant. He wanted to confess that he was penniless, but the boss had seen through it long ago, but his anger was all on the two evil forces in the town, so he didn't care about the free food, and rambled about the two evil forces with the ronin eating the overlord's meal. In order to compete with each other for territory and status, they each kept a group of desperadoes, and they fought and killed at every turn. The people were struggling to make a living, but the business of the coffin shop next door became popular.
No wonder it is said that chivalry is forbidden by martial arts. Thirteen Lang may be a Scorpio, and he has to find a way to kill this group of bad guys and restore the peace of the town. As soon as the expert makes a move, you will know if there is any. Those thugs, you can see at a glance that they are just a mob. It's not impossible to kill all the bad guys in town, but it's the last resort. It is the best policy to design two evil forces to kill each other and then both lose and finally perish together. Come to him to clean up. The most important thing is to save effort. The flies can't be killed, and the pretentious look is the cutest. A knife to kill, a knife to fame. You have seen the ability, the one who wins the 30th Lang wins the town, let's make an offer.
Qing Bingwei got Shirokuro by hemorrhage, and immediately wanted to destroy Chou Yin's group in one fell swoop. During the confrontation, Qingbingweifang relied on the presence of masters and was full of confidence. Chou Yinfang flinched. Suddenly, Thirteenth Lang threw the deposit to Qingbingwei and quit. Qingbingwei's face was stunned, but Chou Yinfang had no more scruples, and his waist was much straighter. Thirteen Lang watched on the wall, only a handful of melon seeds were missing. When the two sides were fighting, the Governor of Edo arrived. For a time, the town restored the scene of living and working in peace and contentment. Failed first time.
Chou Yin is ambitious, how can the governor stay on, how can he grab the territory! Evil was born with courage, and hired a killer to kill the officials and officials at a distance of 80 miles. After hearing the report, the governor must leave without a doubt. By the way, I went to the hotel to recruit Thirty Lang, and the first shot was a deposit of thirty taels. Thirty-two will be given when the matter is completed. Thirteen Lang did not want to agree so casually, and refused to wait for Qingbingwei's offer. Unosuke, the younger brother of Chou Yin, came back with a gun. Everyone uses cold weapons, and the only hot weapon stands out from the crowd. He also suggested that the two sides make peace. The plan went a bit off. Thirteenth Lang felt that making peace was a harbinger of a big fight.
After the two killers got drunk in a hotel, they leaked the plot to murder the officials. When he went to Yin Chou to sell the news that the man was in the hands of Qingbingwei, Unosuke arrested the son of Qingbingwei who was talking about peace. When the two sides exchanged hostages, Unosuke cheated, took the hostages and did not return the son of Qingbingwei. Qingbingwei also has a back move, and there is a woman in his hand, a woman that Tokuemon, who is wearing a ugly yin, likes.
Second hostage exchange. The woman's husband and son appear. In order to save the woman, Thirty Lang sold himself as a thug, and received a deposit of thirty taels. He single-handedly killed six guards to rescue the woman, let the family of three escape, and gave them all thirty taels. Destroy the scene and blame Qingbingwei. Chou Yin was furious and sent someone to set fire to Qingbingwei's silk shop, turning the silk into ashes. Qingbingwei revenge for destroying Chou Yin's hotel, and the wine went to the ground. Both sides were devastated.
Unfortunately, the truth about Sanjiro's rescue was exposed, and after being caught by Unosuke, he was beaten to death and locked up. Still relying on ingenuity to escape, everyone chased to no avail. Chou Yinfang finally annihilated the entire army of Qingbingweifang and dominated one side. With the help of the restaurant owner, Sanjiro hid to recover from his injuries. After recovery, he learned that the boss was arrested by Chou Yin's people. Fighting alone to save people, waving the knife in his hand, the villains are dead, and the town is peaceful again.
Every time you complete a feat, you will go back to the original starting point.
The samurai under the lens of Akira Kurosawa has never been the famous hero in Jin Yong Gulong's writings. The downfall is unknown, and the violence and well-being are unknown. But will he not be chivalrous because of this, obviously not. This is purer samurai spirit.
