It was the film I mentioned when I watched a documentary video magazine the day before yesterday. Oiran", I still admire Neon Country's mastery of the picture. "The Evil Girl Oiran" can basically be cut out of any long shot to make a poster, but the plot is relatively protracted and uninteresting.
"Rogue Ishikawa" is different. I specially downloaded a high-definition version. In just two hours, I saw the Tianluoshan Hall, which was hidden in the dark and slowly appeared. I saw the lion in troubled times. I saw the nephrite jade in Yueqi Lake, and I also saw General Xi singing that life has only been fifty years, like a dream... That's why I was so excited, how many years ago I closed it The eyes think and think for themselves, I wonder when Jiang Da can make this world that existed in my mind in 2004 become a real scene, so that I can see the legendary ethereal world with my own eyes, hero They shoulder the will of the god of war, and finally hold the handle of the world. Chenyue believed that the strong must die, and the prosperous must decline Tie, which shuttled like a ghost among the various vassal states. The girl with blond hair and red eyes fell from the sky, stabbed a sharp blade into the chest of her best friend, and finally left resolutely, hoping that all of this had never happened.
There are too many digressions. In fact, this film is far from the theme of Kyushu, but the picture is really invincible. More importantly, while pursuing the exquisite and invincible picture, they also made the plot so sensational and the idea so profound.
The background is the history of Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu. If you understand it, I will not say it. I don't know how long it will take... This is also the last prosperity of Japanese ninjas. a period of time.
First of all, let's talk about "World Buwu", which is the big seal of Oda SUMA. The words engraved on the two hilts of the double-edged sword in the film are one for the world and one for Buwu. My understanding is to stabilize the world through force. But it does not mean to start a war, but in a chaotic world, it is necessary to use powerful force to deter the world, and finally achieve unity. Instead of some bullshit "benevolence and righteousness", that's all a lie. Because the turbulent times during the Warring States Period lasted for many years, it has always been the state where you sang and I came on the stage. Only if he is strong and sympathetic to the government and the people will he be able to secure the regime from now on, and no one will covet and cause riots.
In the end, Ishikawa Goemon killed Tokugawa Ieyasu and said the same thing, please let this end.
I have to say that Japan's troubled times have really ended since then, and have continued into modern times. After the fall of the royal family of the Qing Dynasty, various warlords and regimes have been fighting infightingly, and the common people and the people are suffering. For Japan in the same period, there was never a large-scale war that swept the country between the Tokugawa shogunate and the emperor's cabinet. Foreigners took the opportunity to divide Japan, so as to have the Meiji Restoration in the future. The reason why he did this, I don't know if it was Tokugawa Ieyasu's family motto, and he didn't want Japan to fall into endless trouble again.
After talking about the world, let's talk about ninjas. Because I like Jiangda's Tianluo Shantang very much, and Tianluo's prototype is precisely the ninja. I won't go into detail about the ninja system, but here I mainly talk about the spirit. Chinese people have always paid attention to chivalry, which is actually quite different from forbearance. A chivalrous person is mainly the kind of thing that should put the common people in the world first, attach great importance to love and justice, be mighty and unyielding, and emphasize the sense of justice, which is somewhat similar to Confucianism. The ninja is completely different. A very important part of the ninja spirit is to discard the self, discard the self-esteem, and not consider oneself as a thoughtful individual, but a sharp blade of the master. As long as you complete the given task, it doesn't matter what you do, there is a feeling that you will do anything to achieve your goals. Similar to Legalists, more ruthless. This is because the ninja originally existed as an assassination organization. As a secret organization that has never seen light, what about self-esteem and righteousness? But that doesn't mean ninjas are ruthless.
The most touching person in the film is Kirikin Caizo, who is also Hattori Hanzo's apprentice along with Ishikawa Goemon. Although ninjas never show mercy to outsiders, the friendship between them is extremely deep, because as such a secret organization, if the internal cooperation is not perfect, it will not survive at all.
Cai Zang didn't want to live such an anonymous life in the dark all his life. His ultimate dream was to become a true samurai, a samurai who could end the troubled world. From ninja to samurai is not an easy transition, it is a transition from darkness to light. Few of the daimyo really look down on ninjas, thinking that they are just ants who can sacrifice everything for personal gain. However, the samurai shoulders the responsibility of helping the world, and has the spirit of Bushido that the world pursues. Cai Zang knew this in his heart, but he still insisted on his beliefs and brought happiness to Japan with the ninja method. That's why he assassinated Toyotomi Hideyoshi after knowing that he was going to attack North Korea, but he didn't expect to be used by others. When I just hid and died, my whole body burst into tears. He didn't want to be a hawk and dog for a lifetime, always bowing his head in front of the master and obeying orders. He also wanted to get rid of such a fate, not for the sake of being a Zhuolu world. Tiger wolf, just so that his wife and children and family can live safely and happily.
The other is Ishikawa Goemon, who is also unwilling to always watch the girl he loves silently in the dark. He just wants the freedom to do whatever he wants. The world is not in his heart, so he became a big thief, but even if he is not for the world, there is always in his heart the kindness that needs to be repaid, the hatred that needs to be repaid. As long as he is burdened with these, he has no way to be free.
But even if they are willing to give up their identity as ninjas, they cannot escape fate regardless of the world. The Iga ninjas were wiped out in the end, and the rulers would not allow such dangerous elements to threaten them. Such a mercenary organization that kills for money does not need to exist in peacetime.
After watching the film, I completely hated Toyotomi Hideyoshi, although his theory was that he was not satisfied even if he ate the whole world because he couldn't eat enough when he was a child, trying to find an excuse for his various behaviors. But I still don't like it, I just don't like this kind of insatiable person. Although Su Jinan is the same, but he just wants to survive and prove himself, so I forgive him.
In the end, aside from the plot, the person who played Ishida Sancheng is very stylish, the fog shadow is hidden and handsome, and both teenagers and adults are handsome, but Ishikawa is just fine as a teenager. Chacha has a normal face, I remember that Ryoko Hirosue was very good-looking... That Ishida woman is super charming, a charming royal sister. Toyotomi Hideyoshi's bodyguard style always reminds me of Xiaobai in Death. Hattori Hanzo is very aura, completely suitable for the old man. Oda Nobunaga's song reminds me of Emperor Rose.
