U Mieko Harada, Mieko Harada, Yosiko Miyazaki, Miyazaki Hayao: Japanese: Introduction to Japanese: Chaos is based on the story of the Japanese military commander Maori Yuanjiu in the Warring States Period, and it is integrated into the plot of Shakespeare's masterpiece King Lear, forming a story of a one-word family. It attempts to look at the "karma" (Buddhist language) of the world from the perspective of heaven, reveal the true meaning of life, and thus reflect the creator's basic views on life and the world. This film is one of the most expensive and large-scale films in Japanese film history, costing 2.4 billion yen and taking more than 200 working days to shoot. Kurosawa praised himself as the masterpiece of his life. He is determined to make a "full film", and chaos is such a work. In other words, in the development of the story, some scenes can be omitted through the interpretation of lines, but Akira Kurosawa uses cameras to express them, and even the big scenes of mobilizing troops are shot at a high price, so the scenes of the film are very spectacular. Akira Kurosawa transplanted and interpreted Shakespeare's masterpieces with ancient Japanese characters and put them on the screen. Spider nest city began at 1957. The international film circle highly praised Kurosawa as "the first person to promote the exchange of traditional cultures between the East and the West". [About the Plot] The story describes the story that a fictional family of one word went to extinction because of cannibalism during the Warring States Period in Japan. Hu Xiu, the founder of the Wen Yi family, ruled the party during the years of war, and his power was at its zenith. Xiuhu, who is old, is worried that the day will not be a fake year, and is determined to divide the territory of Huajia equally to his three sons in advance. Taro, the eldest son, and Jiro, the second son, readily accepted, but Saburo, the youngest son, expressed strong opposition. Xiuhu got rid of Saburo in a rage, and all his property was divided up by Taro Kazujiro. Xiuhu lived an old man's life with his concubine and Qin Bing, thinking that he could enjoy his old age from now on, but unexpected disasters followed. First, Taro was terrified of his father and used various excuses to ridicule and crowd out Xiuhu. Xiuhu had to move to Jiro's castle again. Who colluded with Tomojiro in Yotaro, massing heavily to launch a surprise attack on his biological father? Xiuhu's wives and concubines were all killed, and she was driven by her sons to wander in the Lantern Festival, accompanied only by an actor who usually plays a clown. Xiuhu, who suddenly fell from the peak of power to the abyss, could not stand the blow and was insane. He wandered in the wilderness, pouring out his anger and regret to the world. At the same time, a new fratricidal battle is being waged between his two sons. Jiro, unwilling to be inferior, shot and killed his younger brother from behind. Taro's wife, Feng Jun, was originally a daughter waiting for her family. Later, her family was destroyed by Xiuhu, and she was forced to marry Jiutaro. After Taro's death, Feng Jun was determined to retaliate, taking advantage of Jiro's thirst for power and urging him to kill his original wife, which led to Jiro's separation from his family. The foundation of a family is collapsing. After Saburo left Wen Yi, the neighboring Prince Tengjuan appreciated his knowledge and courage and hired him as her husband. When Saburo heard about his father's experience, he immediately led an army and asked to take his father away for support. Jiro's army collapsed with little resistance and was almost wiped out. In desperation, he had to agree to Saburo's request. Xiuhu finally met his son who really loved him. With great joy, his spirit returned to normal. However, on the way back, Saburo was shot by musketeers ambushed by Dadong in advance and died in his father's arms. Xiuhu was so sad that she followed her son. Fujimaki's army flooded into Jiro's castle like the tide, and the foundation of the family was completely destroyed. In the bloody sunset, the figure of a blind musician stood alone on the ruins of the castle. How many times will the tragedy of cannibalism be staged ... [Comment] Akira Kurosawa is one of the most westernized directors in Japan, which is not only reflected in the advanced shooting methods of his film works, but also in the source of materials when he creates movies. The works of Shakespeare, Gorky and other world writers have been put on the screen many times by Kurosawa in the cultural way of the Japanese nation. The plot of Chaos is mostly adapted from Shakespeare's famous plays King Lear and Macbeth. Kurosawa learned the unsuccessful lesson of The Spider's Nest, which was also adapted from Macbeth. Chaos adheres to Shakespeare's consistent ideological spirit and never forgets to stick to the inner soul of Japanese national spirit. Based on this, we can see that the story of Japanese overlord Maori Yuanjiu in the Warring States period is perfectly combined with the plot of King Lear, witnessing a tragedy in which the father and son are ruined and the family is ruined, and realizing the thrilling "evil" of human nature shown in the desire for power. When Shakespeare's plays are put on the screen, the biggest problem is how to properly retain the style of the stage play in the film. Fortunately, Kurosawa solved this problem with superb film skills. In order to retain the style and charm of the stage play to the greatest extent, most of the scenes in the film were shot in the middle and far view, and few actors were given long-term close-ups, especially the close-up of the old man Xiu Hu. When he was down and out, I wanted to push the camera forward and let me have a closer look at his desperate and sad face, but the camera of the film always kept a certain distance from Xiuhu. In addition, the film also applies the "blank space" technique in oriental art painting to shooting. "Blanking" refers to leaving a large blank on the screen and drawing characters in a limited small place. In the film, Kurosawa replaced the blank in painting with mountains and grasslands, and the characters were placed in a narrow space in the picture, which was in sharp contrast with the majesty and grandeur of nature. This way of composition can not only lay the epic style of the film, but also create the effect of the stage play, which really kills two birds with one stone. In this way, the charm of modern film technology and traditional stage play is magically combined in Kurosawa's hands. The greatest charm of Shakespeare's plays lies in the profound revelation of human nature, and Chaos, which is born out of Shakespeare's classic plays, is naturally not inferior in this respect. In fact, Kurosawa's films have always reflected his profound humanistic concern, and most of them have a very strong sense of images and profound moral concepts and philosophies. Rashomon, Seven Samurai and Dream are all inspiring masterpieces of human nature. Chaos, adapted from Shakespeare's masterpiece, is more handy in excavating human nature and showing humanistic care. Hegel once said that evil is the driving force of historical progress. This sentence can be said to be a wise saying when used in a chaotic plot. The plot of the film begins with Xiuhu's two sons, Dalang Kazujiro, fighting for the throne. The evil in human nature or the desire for power has been pushing the development of the plot. If Dalang Kazujiro's endless desire for power leads them to kill their brother and father regardless of their own flesh and blood, which represents the "evil" in human nature, then Mrs. Feng, who is desperate for revenge, is far from being so thorough in the degree of evil, while the two courtiers who betray Xiuhu for some immediate interests are despicable and wretched people. In sharp contrast with them, it is a good camp composed of Hirayama, crazy Amy, Mrs. Tan and others. Hirayama and Crazy Ami represent loyalty and integrity, while the lady who devoted herself to Buddhism and the kind and straightforward Saburo represent the innate "all-goodness". The ending of the film retains the consistent characteristics of Shakespeare's tragedy. The guilty people, the kind people, the cursed people and the unchasted people all died, leaving the audience with endless thoughts and sighs. And we, like Xiuhu in the film, see clearly the good and evil in this world with deep eyes and see through everything in human nature. Akira Kurosawa is a master of using color, which can be seen from his superb use of light and shadow in the era of black and white movies. Rashomon and Seven Samurai show the subtle psychological changes in the minds of the characters through the changes of light and shadow, and their skillful skills are enough to be written into film textbooks for future filmmakers to worship. Finally, in the color age, Akira Kurosawa can freely express his talents in this field, and he is almost obsessed with the use of various colors in movies. In this respect, Dream filmed by 1990 can be said to be the pinnacle. The eight dreams described in the film are colorful, eerie or dignified like a colorful oil painting. Chaos is a complete tragedy, but the tone of color is bright and bright. The picture is full of colorful colors most of the time, and the contrast of various colors is also very strong, such as Dalang's yellow, Jiro's red, Saburo's sky blue and his wife's white ... The use of these colors not only highlights the characters' own personality, but also enhances the visual effect of the film. In addition, the blue sky, grass, dark castles, soldiers wearing different colors of armor, and the flexible use of various colors in the film have created a strong visual effect, making the film a vivid historical picture of the Warring States period in Japan with an epic temperament. The high use of various colors has greatly improved the freehand brushwork of the film. Many pictures are as impressive as the works of masters in ink painting, and two shots left a deep impression on me. First, Xiuhu was besieged by his two sons. Surrounded by a group of red and yellow armies, Xiuhu slowly walked out of the gate, behind which was a burning tower. At this time, the sky as the background is gray and the wind is blowing hard. The heartbroken Xiuhu walked out despite some uneasiness. His deep eyes seem to have seen the good and evil in this world. The second part is the end of the film. In the dim background, the blind lonely crane pill in the old city stood alone at the head of the city, and the Buddha statue in his hand suddenly slipped under the city wall. At this time, the audience strongly felt the profound unknown and desolation, waiting for future generations will be the abyss of fate and the reincarnation of fate. In the long river of history, such tragedies will continue. From this, we can evaluate Chaos without exaggeration: Akira Kurosawa has made a truly great work based on Japanese traditional culture and the inner thoughts of Shakespeare's plays, which is extremely epic. -Xiuhu was once the overlord who defeated countless powerful enemies. When he felt old, he passed the throne to Taro, the eldest of his three sons. After abdicating, Xiuhu was gradually surprised to find that his once strong self-confidence was worthless in the eyes of his son, so he felt desperate for his existence and even faced the crisis of personality collapse. At the same time, the great change of his sons' attitude towards him and their killing each other also made him very chilling. In a bleak evening scene, Xiuhu began to deeply reflect on what he had done and destroyed. The war to comment on this film is magnificent and very shocking. The costumes of the characters in the film are also extremely exquisite, which is quite worth watching carefully. This film is not only an important masterpiece of Akira Kurosawa, a generation of movie master, but also a masterpiece that shocked the international film world in Japanese film history. Akira Kurosawa's brilliant creation and well-known stories with Shakespeare created this film's incredible sense of power and classic charm. Don't miss it!
