lament of class

Summarize
the wonderful village defense battle first. The appearance of every samurai has already made people stunned, (Kikuchiyo's stalk is so funny!) However, what is even more amazing is the eyes of farmers at different stages on samurai. Extras are too professional to pity you, make you angry, make you hate, make you respect. Of course, the military strategy is also impressive, much better than the high-tech magic horse.

I want to start from the end of the story.
When the phrase "we all lost, those farmers are the winners" sounded. There was a chill in his bones. Although the film is actually revealing this fact little by little, until the end it is broken.
I am reluctant to admit this fact.

I don’t know if it’s because of the background of the times or the movie itself. From the perspective of a spectator, I started to see how farmers find warriors to defend their homes. Later, I gradually put myself into the group role of samurai, and I also boasted a little during the period. nobility and pride. But in the end? Farmers can live and work in peace, but what about samurai? Nothing. Even with a loved one.

In fact, what I want to say is that we are unwilling to admit that we are "peasants" in our hearts. I don't mean to offend here. However, it seems that the word here symbolizes a person who is both ignorant and cunning. It seems to be our most primitive desire for survival, very self. It seems that all dignified people have gone to become samurai. We don't care if we are "untouchables" in the eyes of others. We are poorer and poorer than each other, because we can take less responsibility. Of course, if your own interests may be threatened, then sorry, I will not help.

Of course there is also a kind of loop I guess. What kind of person went to be a samurai?
Some samurai oppressed the peasants, and some peasants became angry and became samurai. Some warriors are very proud, but their dignity cannot be eaten as a meal. He eventually became a peasant with nothing, and he has his own humble life for the time being.

Above, gibberish. . . (Sure enough, there is no way to control the serious and profound tone)
