In the evening, I re-watched Nagisa Oshima's "The Imperial Law". This time, after reading the original book "The Blood Wind of the Shinsengumi" by Sima Liaotaro and the "literary book" related to the history of the Meiji Restoration, the perception is completely different.
The conversation between Kondo and Ito suddenly tightened, the two completely different personalities and political opinions, and the latter's innuendo to the former's peasant background, sowing the consequences for the future You Xiaolu's death battle.
The chief secretary, who smiled by the river, paused for a moment when he mentioned Ikedaya in the earthwork. This young man who loved to play with children and was good at killing was caught in the doomed situation at that moment.
When asked about his sect, Inoue Genzaburo answered without hesitation, "The Pure Land Sect", and only when he was reminded of his swordsmanship did he remember that he belonged to the same natural Rishin-style as Kondo and others. It turns out that the world's disputes are also cut off with the sword, so I don't realize it, and I only remember the Dharma.
In the dark, Yuzawa mentioned Shannan, who was dissatisfied with the organization's laws and fled in the spring. The night before the belly cut, there was a woman weeping in the window of his cell. The woman had small feet. Then he said, "I'm going too far." The lights were flickering.
At the end of the year, the heavy snow fell silently, and the banquet of the Xinxuan Group was full of friends, but they were all pregnant. This short-lived organization is struggling to move forward amid suspicion and infighting. The low voice of chanting the Buddha's voice is as soft as snow.
The beauty of the heresy in Ghana, the forerunner of the heresy, and the affection of the heresy spread in this organization whose laws are so severe that it takes human lives, like weeds, wildfires, and wild beasts, and eventually become something that can control (transcend) the laws. thing.
Thinking of Nagisa Oshima's other same-sex movie "Merry Christmas on the Battlefield", I can't help but feel that the two have a lot in common - love to break and surpass everything.
No matter if love is like a human being, or like a monster.
Bliss or hell, love is love.
