Instead of swinging their swords to make people remember them, they put down their swords and make people remember them.

The samurai trilogy saw this last one, and in some places it was more appropriate to write a historical trilogy. The movie reflects the end of an era through the life of a little samurai.

In my impression, samurai movies are all flesh and blood martial arts style, samurai, almost do not eat human fireworks, except for wine. The samurai is synonymous with the sword, like the blade on the sword, it must see blood, and there is no way out to maintain the superiority of the samurai class. But from "Twilight Seibei", "Hidden Sword Ghost Claw" to "Samurai's One Point", the film depicts all the lower-class warriors who are down and out. They eat rice and are troubled and embarrassed by firewood, rice, oil and salt. Although they walk in front of women, But full of tenderness for lovers and family, underappreciated by talent, but also fear and anger at the challenge of the dignity of life, the samurai descended from the altar and became mortal. The warriors are no longer wielding swords for the high-sounding hatred of the country and the family. The spirit of the warriors is more reflected in the narrow sense of hoeing the strong and helping the weak and the determination to struggle for survival.

The part of the samurai, most of them felt a little depressed after reading it, thinking that the revenge of the blind samurai was too old-fashioned, but when I saw the duel, I was surprised that it was more glorious than the first two.

The servant asked Mimura if he had completed the final blow? Mimura shook his head and said, "No need, Kadai's revenge has been avenged, and then the master and servant left the injured opponent in charge and left.

You know, the supervisor is not killed, he may expose his own scandal or bring punishment.
Mimura could have killed him completely.

Sancun did not. What prompted him to finally come to a duel was knowing that the supervisor was cheating and playing with his wife, in order to maintain the dignity of the weaker wife, not his own humiliation. Here, the principle of the samurai is well carried forward, but, there are also More valuable is not to arbitrarily deprive others of their lives. Mimura's sword is not for killing people, it is for teaching swordsmanship.
The duel and killing of samurai are not restricted. It is an ugly manifestation of the feudal society, where people are divided into high and low, and their disregard for human life and human dignity.

Nothing is more important than people, Sancun finally laughed at himself, maybe he didn't know better, there would be no loss of life due to his wife being driven away and the duel. Mimura forgives his wife, it is a kind of warm tolerance, to his wife and to himself.

The endings of these three samurai movies are all warm. The samurai are no longer alone. They lead their loved ones to a new era.

It can be said that the samurai has fallen, stepped down from the altar, and an era has ended. But the spirit of the samurai, at this time, is even more desirable. It can be said that instead of swinging their swords to make people remember them, they put down their swords and make people remember them.
