In the film, both of them are real warriors. The difference is that Chiyo was not born, and Kan Bingwei was born a true warrior. The contrast between these two characters makes the whole movie come alive. When many directors make movies, they probably like to compare the characters' personalities. The seven samurai have the same personality. The sharp contrast of seven different personalities comes together, and they all share the same belief.
Looking back at the film and television works in recent years, few directors can reach the level of Kurosawa. When dealing with the details, Kurosawa had to say that the technique was really superb. All the villagers stayed away from the scene where the Seven Samurai entered the village for the first time.
Ju Qian, who was born as a farmer, beat with a wooden stick to create the illusion that a mountain thief was coming, which led to the farmer who had been hiding at home from the Seven Samurai. At the same time, the farmers prayed and kowtowed to the Seven Warriors for help. The sharp contrast and silent irony of the two scenes made the audience feel sad and sad. People can't accuse farmers of being ridiculous. Kurosawa did not satirize farmers. He satirized an era.
When Kikuchi Yang called the peasants timid and cunning, he also pointed to the warriors. It was a contradictory era. Warriors bullied farmers, but farmers depended on food to survive. Farmers hate and fear samurai, but they have to rely on them to protect their homes. Kurosawa did not put aside justice and conscience, and objectively photographed everything in this era with the eyes of a bystander.
Many people criticized the farmers in the film for being selfish and timid, but Kurosawa looked at them with sympathetic eyes. So Kurosawa's greatness, the most prominent point, is compassion! Most people in China have Buddhist surnames, and they all say that Buddhism is boundless. Good people and bad people are treated with pity. When I was a child, I watched Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon in The Journey to the West. Finally, I killed my mother and daughter, Bai, and dressed up as a human several times.
I couldn't figure out at that time why the Monkey King obviously killed a demon, but the Tang Priest didn't distinguish between good and bad, and finally drove the Monkey King away. But when I grow up, I think Tang Priest is a Buddha, and everything in the world is a living thing in his eyes. Good or bad, you can't end up dead, you can only cross.
In the form of a documentary, Akira Kurosawa once again showed Japan in the Warring States Period with compassionate eyes, vivid and true, leaving behind not only the words in Japanese history, but also the pictures for future generations. He used a film not only to highlight the contradiction between the bottom peasants and the middle class in Japan during the Warring States period, but also to highlight the contradiction and struggle of all ordinary people in most countries during the war years.
It is no exaggeration to use the word great to describe Akira Kurosawa. Looking at today's film and television works, the rapid progress of high technology and the satisfaction of the audience's visual impact, it can be said that it is almost unbearable to directly look at the portrayal of characters and plots and the rendering of the spiritual level.
