Bold and fearless, unrestrained retro - "Camellia Drifting Zero"
Today, let's talk about the movie "Camellia Drifting Zero".
Katano Scatter Camellia (2018), Hana Tsubaki Hanashiro.
The film is set in the Edo period in 1730.
A highly skilled samurai, Guasei Reported corruption by his former boss, Yukihara. Half a year later, Yukihara's misconduct was confirmed, and The New Guards of Guasheng were expelled from the domain early.
Gua Sheng's new guards and his wife Ah Xiao were displaced, and they had to beware of assassins who did not know when they would appear, and their lives were very difficult. Ah Xiao was not in good health, died of illness early, and left a last wish before his death, hoping that Guasheng's new guards could live well. As a result, The New Guard returned to the Ogino Domain after eight years of absence, and a feud continued.
The story of "Falling Camellia" is stable and stable, advancing the plot in an unhurried and unhurried manner. The feelings between husband and wife and the feelings between brothers are the most important bonds for the characters in the film, and what maintains this bond is the most simple morality.
The whole story is caused by the cross-examination of the Guasheng Recruit Guard.
A samurai, out of morality and love for his hometown, felt that the corrupt behavior of the lord would harm everyone and hinder the development of his hometown, so he rose up to report it.
Normal people can think of the consequences of skipping the level of reporting, and we are always taught not to report beyond the level, because this is an absolutely negative behavior.
In the short term, the elderly may be punished or may continue to be covered up by the superior, and the direct consequences of the report cannot be predicted at all; in the long run, the whistleblower will not get any job opportunities, who dares to use a person who has a "previous conviction" who has crossed the level of reporting, maybe one day will be reported again.
Gua Sheng's new guards did this, which was to force the samurai into such a situation, he would make such a move.
Guasheng's new soldiers and guards were willing to take the emperor down, and he paid for his own happiness, the happiness of his family, and even the happiness of his friends.
As he himself says in the film, "Sticking to the right path doesn't necessarily bring happiness." ”
It can be seen that the decaying feudal dynasty has great limitations, can only adapt to the period of low productivity, once the social productivity is improved, people will naturally yearn for a better life. Even a samurai knows that trade and commerce can enhance the people's sense of satisfaction, and the family elders must continue to be corrupt for their own selfish interests.
Absolute power will only bring absolute corruption, and in the era of kings and subjects, it is often difficult for people who are honest, honest and clean to have room for development.
What is even more unexpected is that after the demise of the feudal system, occupations such as samurai ronin will also disappear.
Lack of a clear institutional constraint, relying solely on the self-consciousness of personnel, it is difficult to maintain long-term peace and stability, and it may be incorruptible in a short period of time, but over time, various dark sides of human nature will be exposed.
Director Daisaku Kimura, a photographer by training, began to transform into a director at the age of 70, and shot his third film work" at the age of 79, "Falling Camellias".
Directors who come from the cinematographer background all have a common feature, that is, they pay special attention to the picture of the film. After all, film is an audiovisual art, and visual effects are very important.
Another label of "Falling Camellia" is "Action", and the specific performance is Kendo. The film presents a very old-fashioned Japanese samurai style, supplemented by low-saturation tones, with a strong classical charm.
Camellia, as the key element of the point, has a large number of features in the film. Camellias are particularly gorgeous in a bleak picture, and the petals tumbling with the wind are poetic. It's just a pity that the person who admires the flowers is long gone, "although the life of the samurai is easy to pass, this camellia will bloom year after year." ”
