A point of a samurai

Kimura is really strong.
I spent an afternoon drinking lotus leaf tea and finished watching this movie, "One Point of a Samurai".
The Chinese is directly translated into "one point" according to the appearance of Japanese characters, which actually means the dignity of the samurai.
When the director finished the film, he said, in fact, Kimura himself is a samurai.
Indeed, this man was born with a kind of self-esteem, a pride of his own.

The film tells the story of a samurai Samurai, who was engaged in poisoning, who was poisoned in the process of tasting food and blinded both eyes. Finally, after a battle with the enemy forced him to cut his abdomen, he reunited with his wife and lived a peaceful life.

In the process of watching, I really feel that the Japanese nation is really powerful. When I saw Sancun leaning on the wooden door and stroking his long sword after losing his sight; when he saw his beautiful wife holding flowers and walking on the street lit by the bright sun, I really felt, "Ah, the life I want is not enough. That's it."
Some people say that this film tells the bloody history that flows through every Japanese man, but in my opinion, it may be more tragic and solemn belonging to an era.

I like the scenery of the whole movie very much, no matter where, there is always sunlight slanting in. Mimura was blind and competed with his teacher in the dojo. His wife knelt down in the sunlight to pay homage to the ancestors. He almost cried and said that sentence, "I can only say that this is a matter of the dignity of the samurai!" … Such a bright and penetrating feeling. Perhaps this is the quality of something called dignity.

The film is not slow at the beginning, but it is very trivial, but if you think about it carefully, it still lays the groundwork for the later plot, and you have to ask for it. But then it was unexpectedly windy and rainy, and I also felt the samurai impulse, and the plot developed rapidly, but the only dissatisfaction was the happy ending. After all, this movie is actually a samurai fairy tale. Perhaps the director has a thought in his heart: such a good man, a beautiful man who has lost his sight, let him live happily ever after. I once thought that Kimura's acting was 80% due to his eyes, which were bottomless and bright. It's a bit ridiculous that the protagonist of this play is a blind man. After reading it carefully, none of his "bad habits" in previous TV dramas appeared. Even if his eyes are blind, he can still emit a chill, and every move , The samurai is full of temperament, this is really living on this samurai who may have really existed.


In fact, I have really thought about the cost and so on. In my opinion, since people have to fight to the death to maintain their dignity, then this thing must be worth fighting for, even if it is worth it. However, in the end, Sancun did not have a drop of blood and no injuries, his wife also returned, and the annual salary was the same. I can't see what kind of experience this incident has on him. In my mind, the most perfect ending was already fixed when the film was three-quarters of the way through: I heard the news of the enemy cutting the belly from someone else, a pair of birds in the cage died, and the wife was expelled Going out, Sancun stayed in his courtyard. An old servant, a hat, a tree, a sword, a person—a warrior who retreated behind the scenes. At this time, it was autumn, and the yellow leaves were slowly falling. Kimura raised his finger and released the remaining bird.
For this "samurai's point", it's okay to be alone.
