In fact, Yuki Kusano in this "Samurai" still did not completely shoot according to historical facts.

There's nothing that can be done about it.,About this period of history at the end of the shogunate,It's still very hot in Japan.,There are many people who have written about it.,In terms of literature,The most famous should be several works by Ryotaro Sima.,Such as "The End of the Shogunate" and "The New Writing Group Blood Wind Road.。

Of course, Ryotaro Sima's work is basically about using history and telling the story he wants to tell, but his penmanship is really subtle and always stirs the hearts of the Japanese.

As for the new writing group, if you really look at the historical records, you will find that this organization is indeed famous, but many of the major events are some assassinations and slashing each other on the street.

Some people comment on the history of Japan's Warring States period, that is, Murato, and at the end of the Edo period, it seems that it is not even the level of Murato.

Of course, from the perspective of martial arts, it is possible to shoot these ronins very well, after all, the sword and swordsmanship are still very good-looking, and these guys are indeed very combative, and many of them are the best in the Shicheng sect.

But if you look closely, you will find that many of them are betrayals, and they are all internal purges. And these have become important events, which shows how the real situation of this history is.

In Kusano's view, this should represent the confusion of the Japanese at that time.

Is it the user shogunate or the emperor?

At least on the surface, the Tokugawa shogunate's shogun system, they also supported the emperor, in short, it was the Three Kingdoms period to coerce the emperor to order the princes.

However, at this time, it was no longer feasible to coerce the Son of Heaven, and the Tokugawa shogunate had no way to come up with a better system, so it was the only way to go.

In fact, throughout this period of history, there are really not many things that can really be called major events.

To put it simply, there is no battle scene like the original "The Last Samurai".

There are two constraints here, one is the terrain of Japan at that time, it was difficult to have so many horses, and the cavalry did not rely on cavalry to do the impact in the face of the gun platoon, but in Japan it was actually people.

The second is the real situation at that time, that is, in "The Last Samurai", the person who really wants to be shown is Saigo Takamori.

Katsumoto in "The Last Samurai", there is also this person in history, but in fact, it should not be this character, it should be Saigo Takamori, he is not the emperor's teacher, and the real historical background of this war is also real, that is, the 'Southwest War' initiated by Saigo Takamori.

It should be said that the historical background that is most in line with "The Last Samurai" is this 'Southwest War', but in fact, this war is almost completely different from the movie.

A very simple fact is that the military uniform that Saigo Takamori wore back then, that is also a typical American uniform, especially the embroidered patterns on the cuffs, which is a typical symbol of the American Southern Army.

There is a very clear portrait of this as a record.

To put it bluntly, it was at that time that the army of Saigo Takamori's side in the 'Southwest War' was already Japan's new army, which means that it was a battle between the new armies, which was caused by Saigo Takamori's political disagreement with other reformers.

In other words, it doesn't have much to do with the samurai.

Saigo Takamori himself was also the main figure in the Shogunate, that is, the main figure who single-handedly buried the Tokugawa Shogunate, so some people see the 'Southwest War' as the end of the Shogunate faction.

In a nutshell, this history is actually the Shogunate faction that killed the shogunate, and the Shogunate faction itself was finished, leaving behind those who only supported the emperor.

Looking back and comparing it with "The Last Samurai", it can be clearly seen that they were actually filmed randomly.

In other words, at the very least, the kind of battle scene in which cold weapons and horseback are used to attack the new army should not be filmed.

Speaking of this kind of scene, what was really achieved was actually the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it was Seng Lingqin who led 30,000 cavalry to attack the 6,000 musket team of the Eight-Nation Alliance, including Makqin.

Of course, the reason why this "The Last Samurai" was filmed like this greatly changed history, and then used cold weapons against hot weapons, just to shoot this feeling, that is, the crushing of the advanced against the backward, and that kind of visual effect.

The bullet hit the armor, causing the armor to burst open, bursting out a lot of slag, which was captured by a high-speed camera, and the footage displayed in this way had a great impact.

However, this is really a mess.

The adaptation is not a random edit, Yuki Kusano doesn't need to retreat tactically, he just sticks to his own heart.

Saigo Takamori was known as the 'Last Samurai', but at the time of the 'Southwest War', he was no longer a samurai.

A person with short hair, who is not the head of the moon generation at all, and who is also wearing an American military uniform, how can such a person be considered a samurai

So, Yuki Kusano advanced the story, and he wanted to shoot 'samurai', so he chose the real event that marked the end of the samurai era.

The fall of the Aizu Domain, or rather, the death of Nakano Takeko, truly marked the end of the samurai era in Japan.

Nakano Takeko is really a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows, not only after she was seriously injured and pleaded to make a mistake, but the entire female samurai team of the Aizu Domain, 230 people, did not have a single living mouth, and all those who did not die in the battle were seppuku.

Although they were women, they were indeed samurai.

As for the new writing group, Isamu Kondo ended with seppuku, and Soji Okita died of illness first.

These can be seen as the end of the samurai era.

I'm afraid that at this point in time, Okubo Ritsu and Saigo Takamori are still celebrating, and the latter will not know that he will also lose ten years later.

China has long had such a saying, the fox rabbit is dead and the lackey cooks, such as Saigo Takamori they are afraid that they have forgotten that the struggle between this samurai and the samurai has killed the opponent, and he is not the real winner.

Yuki Kusano chose this point in time, of course, he can't shoot completely according to history, and using the last glory of the samurai era as the stage, which can indeed give him a lot of room to play.

Moreover, the addition of Zatoichi and Nathan makes the story even more colorful.

Yuki Kusano himself admits that Nathan's participation is not high, but this is also in line with historical facts as much as possible, after all, the event with a relatively high level of participation is the 'Southwest War'.

As for the officer played by Abe Kan, the prototype is 'Nogi Noshinori', but there will be historical discrepancies, so it's better not to give him a name.

This practice of not giving a name, Yuki Kusano doesn't think there's anything wrong with it.

At that time, it was a troubled time, and in the troubled times, human life was like a mustard, and what did a name care about.

In this way, Yuki Kusano can better highlight his ideas.

His evaluation of the samurai, coming out of Zatoichi's mouth, is not new, but in such a movie, it should be pretty good.

It's hard to explain these many things to Scarlett for a while, so ...

Well, maybe that's what I thought of, and Scarlett is an American, so Kusano's kind of bad luck.

Walked the evil way.

Wait a minute, what does this count

Japan's evil anti-American heroes

Seriously, Yuki Kusano was a little surprised, Scarlett, an American girl with an open appearance, was still quite resistant, even scared, at the beginning of the evil path, but a famous overseer is a famous overseer, and there are many unlearned.

It didn't take long for the American girl to feel the charm of the evil way, and even moved on her own.

Such and such...

"You guy, you're too bad!"

"Ah, is there one?"

"And say no!"

"This ...... Then you can say that there is, I am so bad. ”

Yuki Kusano did not fully explain his evil philosophy, after all, the relationship between Scarlett and him is still quite complicated.

Well, what is the relationship between the two of them?

For a while, it was a little unclear.

However, Scarlett now decides that there is one thing.

"You're a genius. ”

"Oh, that's kind of a performance for me just now...... Compliments."

"Who told you that!" Scarlett's delicate face flushed, "I'm talking about movies." ”

Now it was the director's turn to blush, "Okay, in terms of movies, I'...... Shouldn't we be humble?"

Scarlett was very dry, "By the way, aren't you going to show up in Cannes?"

"Why do you want to do this?" Kusano was a little strange.

"I think you're going to win the Palme d'Or for this film!"

Scarlett swore by it, and even said that she was a little excited, and she was a little shaken when she was excited.

She is talented, and she really makes people die when she shakes up.

Yuki Kusano smiled, "This kind of thing is not enough for me to show up, and besides, this year's Palme d'Or is actually very difficult." ”

"It's hard," Scarlett didn't quite understand.

No way, she doesn't understand the power of "The Pianist" at all, this movie is not only politically correct, but also of high quality in itself.

Therefore, Yuki Kusano was not absolutely sure of winning the Palme d'Or.

So...

"Does it hurt?"

"You ......"

Scarlett's face flushed again.

How to answer

When it hurts, it seems likely that there will be a lot less happiness.

If it doesn't hurt, it doesn't seem right, at least it's not honest.

Pain and happiness are sometimes a kind of enjoyment.

So, the question becomes, do you want to enjoy it or not?

It's hard, it's really hard...
