Film Review: 'Chaos'

Magnificent epics on a backdrop that I always enjoy, majestic in atmosphere, heroic in their grandeur, always stirring. Akira Kurosawa's 'Chaos' is an epic film with a backdrop, but it is a film that creates a sense of grandeur and sadness, an epic backdrop where Kurosawa shows a lot of human distortion and fragility, a once-in-a-lifetime oriental backdrop where a King Lear-style story unfolds with a universal reflection of humanity that is profound and heavy.
The story of the film is based on the composition of Shakespeare's famous tragedy "Leah", and the combination of Western expression in the historical and cultural centre of Japan is an important reason why this film is greatly acclaimed. The story of Akira Kurosawa, despite the very rich story of "King Lear" itself, many of the same story, depending on the person has different effects, just borrowed, not to mention the shell of the director, many of the contents are his own ideas, because of this, many of the films of Akira Kurosawa are longer, patience and people see the end, this kung fu is indeed not easy, many of the director's films are soaked in very rich ideas, perhaps The film's storytelling is not strong, the film can only be an academy film, the idea of lawlessness affects more people.
The structure of the story is simple: the aging lord Soo-hoo is the son of three people who have divided the territory, and the great work of the family who want to continue with one mind. However, things do not go as planned and the youngest child is banished for the sake of his family. Soo-hoo is two sons, the eldest and the second son, who cheat on each other and eventually give the family a split in their demise. In the film, Soo-hoo is a complex character, and although he is older, the children are hopeful and united, and the result is very much what he had hoped for from his heart, Soo-hoo divides power in his later years and his sons are expelled by the tongue of the people wrapped in this fast progress, making Soo-hoo a "poor man" who is instantly からつ the king's sons around, at this time I can't help but ask why this is so. As the film progresses, the answer becomes clear, in fact, the children are acting out what the tiger once did, and the old man was once in his position as a cruel and ruthless lord. So he children unscrupulous paradigm it, he has been loyal and benevolent children is a matter of wishful thinking, from the film show tiger fate of a certain fatalistic colour, show, ruthless tiger also ruthless, finally he relied on the earth up ruthless casting collar ruthless that ruthless war fire, and then be destroyed. The fate of Xiu Hu's family is strongly oriental in character, a story that has happened too often in Japan and also in China, where the power struggle for the twisted human nature of the great killing force plays out, while also showing the great "life" of the history of the stubbornly alive, tragedy plays out.
Feng Jun, the wife of Xiu Hu's eldest son, is an important character in the film, and she fully expresses the trajectory of human thought in a distorted environment in a turbulent time. She is the daughter of a daimyo whose family Hidethu exterminated, and she can imagine from the talk of the mourning wan that it must have been a brutal process, which is also the fire of revenge lurking in her heart. In the midst of the hatred, she appeared in the madness of the astonishing calm, she also Hidetoki body to the school unscrupulous essence into the, so her former family of the city after instigating her husband Hidetoki forced into a desperate situation, please husband Taro died, she went more to tempt her husband's brother Jiro; so she jumped while drumming Jiro Sanro, 1 time of the daimyo's war before her family of this family destroyed. The last words of her life, she was this former family town was burned, a kind of as decisive jade hatred creepy. Initially, the audience also seeds, perhaps, the idea that "the most poisonous women are misogynistic" and that women are misogynistic, but a closer appreciation of her fate is not difficult to understand; she chooses the war-torn times, the fate of women, they choose, don't they also husbands or Erlang people around, the hatred lifted is in the religious mind; or Feng Jun like towards another extreme unscrupulous revenge while the stigma of the afterlife is carried, it has nothing to do with her, she succeeded, watched the enemies of her family had, tragically go to their deaths.
The story of Xiuhu's family in the film is a fictional story, so it always shows the real, the power struggle, the family's prosperity and decline, the fate of the women, the story of revenge, the battlefield fight is a reflection of how the real world. The heroes of the film, Wallace, who did not cry "freedom" before he died, the naked power struggle of the people, the pathetic side of the film, all the people or the innocent, their tragic fate is the inevitability of cause and effect, I am afraid that the only clown's innocence is Soo-hoo. Akira Kurosawa's excellent creation of a tragic effect, the desperation of the soldiers on the battlefield, the pathos of the music, the heavy colours also reveal a shocking effect. Also, the film impressed me with the colour of that character's attire, etc. The colours of each soldier are very thick and metaphorically white, using the soldiers' thick attire slightly darker when the city is on fire from watching that tragic effect. Yes, the bright colours thick people's visual great stimulation, very suitable for high, is the movie more characters are gorgeous costumes and imposing armor die, that colour deep withering than the usual heart mourning.
From Kurosawa Akira's late film permeated with consideration, humanism permeated, in this 'chaos', he clearly as a person, is very heavy thought. In the film, a blind descendant of the family that Hidetoki once tragically killed lives, he is "harmless", he is ordinary, so he lives. "Chaos" of fictional times in turbulent times, "chaos" at the time of the film, in the chaos of the battlefield, the chaos of ethics, the chaos of family, the chaos of humanity, "chaos". The graves of a family of seemingly powerful fields are left in ruins one by one in the city.
