"The Sword of Death" was initially thought to be the work of the great director Akira Kurosawa, because of the great actors Mifune Toshiro and Nakadai Tatsuya. The former is not much to say, "The Heart Stick", "Tsubaki Thirty-Long", "Seven Samurai" and "Red Beard", which cover most of Kurosawa Akira's works in the first half of his life, while the latter is "Shadow Warrior" and "Ran". , a great movie with a great actor. After watching it, I found out that it was directed by Masaki Kobayashi, who debuted a few years later than Akira Kurosawa. The picture processing of this film is extremely beautiful. It was a black and white film in 1967, with a single story and a handsome samurai image of famous actors. Glamour doesn't discount. It's a pity that the story is single. I read a film review and said that 90% of the forbearance was used in exchange for the final 10% of the killing. When it reached the peak, the film attracted echoes, which made the audience unable to calm down. The script is of course adapted from a novel, simple and direct. The characters have emotions, but the powerful and powerful people of the Warring States period did not allow emotions. People's emotions are suppressed, like a smart person who has lost the right to speak, but is just a doll in the hands of the powerful. Director Kobayashi's handling is calm, intelligent, and even clean. People's hearts are complicated, power is right, those who obey me prosper, those who oppose me perish. But people are not plants and trees, they decay for a while, and they cannot endure it for a lifetime. The freedom and emotion of being born as a human will be lost, so what is the use of stealing life? So, at a certain point, the old warrior resisted, and his body and mind were at ease. Some parts of the film are a bit sluggish, and the dialogue is a bit long-winded, because of the so-called Japanese language. Most of the pictures are beautiful, and the characters have distinct personalities. , even if it is death. There is only one main line in this film, which is to get rid of the shackles and become a real flesh and blood person, full of emotions, and able to live one's life safely. In addition to satirizing the officialdom of the feudal society, the film also oppresses the common people and shackles class differentiation. There is also the loyalty and tenacity of Japanese women. In order to achieve the overall situation, they would rather die than surrender and die bravely, just for love and faith. Compared with contemporary love, it is dwarfed by the convenience of utilitarianism and the education of selfish consciousness, so that people who see loyal love suddenly realize that this kind of love is deeper and difficult to overcome, even if it loses its life. , but the nobility of behavior and spirit transcends the state of being born as a human being and elevates the height of human nature.
