Chapter 512: What the Hell: A Samurai?

"Samurai" is another small story, but the whole plot has clearly unfolded.

As the opening film, David Lynch naturally can't miss it.

So, what is the inner evaluation of the chairman of the jury about this paragraph?

Seriously, he's a little jealous.

This director Kusano is really a genius, and he can show many things, these so-called 'things' are actually the history of the time, through this little story.

Because of this movie, David Lynch also went to see some information about "Zatoichi", which is clearly just a type of Japanese sword and halberd movie.

To put it simply, this Zatoichi is a blind man, and his swordsmanship is superb, and nothing else is special.

Of course, I also learned about the historical situation at that time, because this movie was different, and Tom Cruise was starring, so Japan at that time was very different.

Unexpectedly, Yuki Kusano explained the background of the entire era through the fight in such a small shop.

David Lynch just took a brief look at history, of course, he didn't have the means to delve into it, but in general, in Japan at that time, those two factions were samurai.

That's right, everyone is actually the same, and even, many people were originally ronins, but everyone's support is different, some people have joined the new writing group, and some people have become reformers.

Seriously, in this case, it's very interesting, and even in David Lynch's opinion, there are a lot of movies that can be made.

Well, in fact, the chairman of the jury is not very familiar with Japanese films, and there are many film and television works about this era in Japan, especially NHK's Taiga drama, which will not be let go of in this era.

However, to put it simply, it is an interesting subject, but what can be done to achieve it?

Do you want to give the audience a history lesson?

As far as Yuki Kusano's technique is concerned, it's very good.

This small restaurant can almost be regarded as the Japanese society of that era, where the samurai on both sides were fighting, but the unlucky people were the common people.

If it weren't for the blind man's swordsmanship, he and this girl would have been killed.

The moral is just wonderful.

It must be admitted that David Lynch deserves to be the chairman of the jury, and his associations are really rich enough, as for whether others will think so much, I don't know.

Sofia Coppola was of course present in the screening room, and she brought her long-awaited masterpiece "Lost in Translation", which was ...... Well, it was the inspiration I had during my time in Japan with Kusano.

Now, the two movies have become rivals, and it's quite interesting.

But watching this movie, Sophia felt that she still underestimated Yuki Kusano.

This guy is really a little powerful, and the fight in this small shop is really beautiful.

Well... It also has a very martial arts flavor.

Well, it can also be said to be a Japanese sword halberd piece.

There was a lot of foreshadowing in the early stage, which created a strong tense atmosphere, and in the end, the results were only separated in a moment.

This is a sword and halberd movie, the action at this moment is quite exciting, and it was a scene between a blind man and a little girl before, which has a very martial arts feeling.

At first, it was a little girl who saved the blind, and then she became a blind girl.

The story is also interesting.

Sure enough, it was that guy, and the shooting was really good.

So, will you lose?

Sophia, on the contrary, thinks that it is not necessary, because the two of them have completely different films, just like the South Pole and the North Pole.

Did Yuki Kusano want to use such a film about samurai to reflect the state of Japan at that time?

What kind of message is this meant to convey to the world?

All of this echoed in Sophia's mind, and she didn't know which one was right, maybe all of them were right.

The big screen doesn't care so much, the plot of "Samurai" has gone down.

The decadent failed merchant Cruise appeared, of course, here his name is Nathan, and the female general who deliberately appeared in the spring was naturally Gong Li.

The duo was quite interesting, and after that, Nakano Sama's appearance, and that sudden dart, another big battle began.

"Who are you?"

"Humph!"

Nakano Takeko is located in the Aizu Domain, which is the base camp of Japan's support for the shogunate samurai, of course, some people have analyzed that the Aizu Domain is the kind of existence that does not support the Tokugawa shogunate, and it is clear from the geographical location.

But no matter what, during this period, the big battles between the samurai were often staged, and Sakamoto Ryoma was assassinated by the samurai, and as for where this samurai belonged, he was still uninvited for a while.

Of course, many people don't know that the little girl Ryoko in the movie is Ryoma Sakamoto's fellow countryman.

However, now everyone is attracted to this Nakano Sama.

Suddenly attacked by a sneak attack, immediately organized a counterattack, Nakano, the female samurai, is really very powerful, I saw her with a long knife in her hand, her movements were chic and fast, and she quickly cut down several enemies who were dressed like endurance.

These people are indeed very much like Shinobi, dressed in black and masked, and they shoot the kind of ninja's signature darts.

However, this sneak attack obviously hit a hard stubble, and although these samurai of the Aizu Domain were all women, they did die several in battle, but they were extremely combative.

Several ninjas were finally forced into one place and fought as trapped beasts.

Nakano Takeko kept asking them where they came from, but in the end he didn't reveal any news.

Until the remaining one is slashed ...

"Let's be honest, you're not ninjas at all. ”

"Why do you see that?"

"Ninjas don't have so many people acting together. ”

"Haha...... That's right, well, Lao Tzu is the ...... of the Choshu Domain."

As soon as he said this, he saw Nakano Bamboo frowning, and then stepped up, and the long knife was raised diagonally from the bottom to the top.

There were a few more drops of blood on her armor, and she retracted her sword.

This series of battles is really dizzying to watch.

The whole action design is very exciting, and it has the characteristics of Japanese sword halberd films, that is, the winner is divided in an instant, and the person retracts the sword.

For the audience, this is a great cool point.

Still, Bill noticed something else.

The girl and the blind man had been watching, and they had been protecting themselves.

Of course, Zatoichi will not be injured, his swordsmanship is superb, and his speed is extremely fast, and he can easily kill a few 'ninjas'.

The little girl is not the same as before now, she is not afraid at all, obviously during this time, she has learned about this blind swordsman in Zatoichi, and knows that this guy is very powerful and can protect herself.

And now ...

"The ......"

"What do you want to say?"

"Are samurai people who abuse their power?"

"Maybe. ”

The conversation between the two men is matched by the current scene of the market, where many people have been shot by darts and there are rolling heads on the ground.

This is evident in the suffering of the poor as a result of the war on both sides.

Therefore, it does not seem wrong to say that the samurai were a group of people who abused their power, or just abused violence.

That's the key!

Bill's brain was shocked at the moment, others didn't know, he had been to Japan, and of course he knew the attitude of the Japanese towards samurai.

What Yuki Kusano is trying to say now is likely to have an impact on many people.

It was said that samurai were people who worshiped power, but now it is said that they were people who abused power.

What a criticism!

In Japan, at least, many people still revere the samurai spirit, and many even worship it.

And now,Yuki Kusano turned out to be like this.。。。

It's so bold!

However, Bill was extremely excited, because this kind of audacity is the way it should be.

Yuki Kusano is a Japanese who criticizes his country's culture, is there anything wrong with that?

Or, this is what a director of his status should do, and even, there are many directors who do it.

Isn't this true of Akira Kurosawa's "Seven Samurai" and "Rashomon"?

It's just that those two works are more obscure and more profound, and Yuki Kusano is so bold and direct.

But it's also wonderful, because this is a girl talking to a blind man.

It makes people feel funny, and it also makes people see how smart Yuki Kusano is.

It's just amazing!

Bill's excitement almost made him miss an important plot.

After the Nakano team successfully counterattacked, it was natural to find the defeated American.

"Who are you?"

"I'm American. ”

"What are you doing here?"

"I ...... Ha, by the way, do you want to learn modern warfare?"

Well, this American is smart, he seems to have discovered a whole new wealth code.

That's it, Nakano brought this American back, and the blind man and the girl, Nakano is such a powerful female samurai, of course she can also see that the blind man is not an ordinary person, and there are not many people who can use it in this era.

Is that all there is to it?

Anyway, Nakano Sama with her female warriors, which ...... Kuniko, Masami Nagasawa, Haruka Ayase, Yui Aragaki, Yu Aoi, etc., are among them.

Many people must not have imagined that many scenes from this film will become classics in film history, at least in Japanese films, even after many years.

Yes, who can gather so many beautiful girls to play the role of a female samurai?

But is that's all Kusano's evaluation of samurai?

What exactly happens next?
