Daily Supervising

Chapter 500: "The Last Samurai" This is not Eastern culture!

"An American went to Japan, and where did he become a samurai?"

   "Yes, that's the idea."

   "Seriously, I am really interested in this story, especially to be able to work with Director Kusano."

   "Mr. Cruise, I must emphasize that this movie will be shot in Japan, and you need to learn a lot of knowledge about samurai, as well as training in action scenes. Can you accept this?"

   "Of course it's okay. I am a man who likes sports."

   "That's great, but we really have to learn a lot this time, and besides..."

   "Director Kusano, I am actually very confident. I have also made some understanding of Japanese culture before. I believe that I will be able to complete this role well."

   "Well, of course I believe it, but I also sincerely remind you that after all, filming in Japan still needs to adapt to many places."

   "Of course, but, Director Kusano, I also want to make some requests."

"Speaking."

"In fact, I have already understood before that there is a movie of this genre, which also describes the life of an American samurai in Japan. Moreover, the script has been formed for a long time, but it has always been in a state of preparation, so... "

   "I know this movie is called "The Last Samurai", right."

   "Yes, this is it."

  The conversation between Kusano Yuki and Mr. Cruise is still very pleasant, oh yes, it's really nothing, Mr. Cruise is currently single.

   So, what is the current Mr. Cruise going to do with this "The Last Samurai"?

   "Director Kusano, I would like to ask, why didn't you shoot according to this script? What I heard is that it seems that you have to make a lot of changes, including a figure like a blind swordsman."

   "Yes, that's it."

   Kusano Yuki listened and smiled.

   Sure enough, Tom Cruise should have raised this question.

   "Then, can you tell me why?" Mr. Cruise put on a very curious expression.

In fact, many people in Hollywood criticize Mr. Cruise’s acting skills, but in fact, his acting skills cannot be said to be bad, really can’t be said. He has actually played many interesting roles. According to conscience, he is so handsome. Among the actors, his acting skills are much better.

   is really better than a certain Baihua movie emperor, not even a little bit.

   However, such a performance in front of Kusano Yuki is not enough, he can see through it at a glance.

"Okay, let me talk about it." Kusano knew that there would be this problem, and it was very close. "Actually, I also know the script of the movie, and even because I know, I asked Vodro. Brothers Sky, and Warner’s side to do these things, I just want to adapt it to make this script slightly different from the original."

   "Hey, Director Kusano, this change of yours is not a little different, this change is really big." Cruise showed a smile.

   It must be said that his smile is very handsome. The point is that he doesn't have a philosophical atmosphere yet, just that kind of pure handsome feeling.

   Kusano Yuki has been smiling, "The reason is very simple. I have heard of the movie script before, and in my opinion, the script does not really show the Eastern culture."

"Oriental culture?" Mr. Cruise showed a surprised look. He couldn't help but said: "But in my opinion, the script is really very Oriental, especially Japan, oh yes, That’s how it feels, it’s really too Japanese."

   Kusano laughed loudly after hearing this, "Mr. Cruise, I'm an authentic Oriental, don't you think these words are weird?"

   Cruise was also taken aback after hearing this, and then smiled, "Yes, I was wrong, haha..."

   What are they arguing about?

   is actually very simple, it is the original "The Last Samurai".

  Kusano Yuki is very clear that Tom Cruise should have been exposed to this script at this time, after all, the script itself has been written for a long time.

In fact, this is an interesting place, that is, a lot of American entertainment texts from the beginning, most of them don’t pay attention to this aspect, that is, many writers will write a certain movie, but they don’t know, in fact, the script of that movie It may have existed a long time ago.

   That means there will be more bugs, Kusano Yuki feels that this may be one of the reasons why the beginning of the entertainment industry is deteriorating.

There is no way. Hollywood is like this. There are too many scripts here. Many scripts are really out long ago. However, they have not been able to be filmed. There are many reasons. For example, there is one now. The most popular script is "Superman for All".

   This script has actually been ten years, but it’s been kept there all the time, and I didn’t find a good opportunity to film it. For this reason, Hollywood still has a ‘blacklist’, which is not a bad kind of list.

   Therefore, Kusano Yuki was prepared long ago, but he still has to insist on this matter.

  The reason for the name supervision is also very simple, that is, the script of "The Last Samurai" is really difficult to truly express the Eastern culture or the Eastern humanistic spirit.

   Or it should be said that this movie actually looks at Japan from the perspective of Westerners, that is, Americans look at Japan.

   is also because of me, so the plot in the script is a lot strange.

   Kusano Yuki is the one who has watched the later movie. He knows that Mr. Cruise's performance in it is still very good, and the whole movie is also very well-made, but. . .

   This later "The Last Samurai" is really not an oriental culture!

   As far as the beginning, there is a huge problem.

   The plot of "The Last Samurai" is like this. Nathan O'Gren, an American officer, was invited to Japan to teach the Japanese modern methods of warfare.

   In the first battle, his subordinates were very confused. Later, he also fell into a hard fight. In this failed battle, he was captured.

   However, before he was captured, he killed a man who was later the younger brother-in-law of the Japanese emperor's teacher and teacher Katsumoto.

   Actually, it was a sneak attack, but later on... Well, the protagonist's halo is huge.

  Katsumoto didn't let his subordinates kill Nathan, the protagonist.

   Later, the halo of the protagonist was beyond description.

   Not only didn’t kill him, but also saved him, and taught him swordsmanship even after saving him. It is the so-called ‘martial arts’ of the samurai, and even let his sister be with him...

   This is really hard to understand.

   Of course, Katsuwon has his own reasons, because Nathan is a foreigner, it is not a problem for him to kill, and the death of my brother-in-law is also considered honorable.

   But in fact, it is actually a key reason.

  Nathan understands modern warfare, he is here to spread advanced experience.

  Katsumoto knew this, he saw it, so he later took advantage of Nathan's power to win.

   It sounds like Katsumi’s reason is good and reasonable, but what about extending it?

   In that era, the shooting technique, the level of the musket, and even things like Gatling.

  In other words, these are really advanced, and they are indeed much better than the old ones, that is, those people represented by Shengyuan said.

   In other words, this is a higher level of technology and civilization.

   Then, does Katsumi’s move mean that higher civilizations can kill people of lower civilizations casually?

   can be more extended.

   The modern technological civilization of the West had a huge impact on the backward samurai culture of Japan at that time, so the samurai should bow their heads.

   To put it bluntly, the whole movie is actually about those samurai who insist on tradition headed by Katsuwon, fighting against new war situations or new foreign civilizations, but in fact, from the beginning, Katsuwon himself has succumbed.

   Even if it is not from the perspective of the big country, or the perspective of Eastern and Western cultures, it is not difficult to find such bugs just by deriving the plot in this way.

   What's more, Yuki Kusano originally planned to do something culturally, in terms of Eastern and Western culture.

   Therefore, Kusano will definitely make some changes to this movie, and now, there is a chance that the old guy Kitano Takeshi put forward this idea, Kusano can use it.

   Moreover, he remembers very clearly that this "The Last Samurai" was made by Warner. Regarding the script ~www.NovelMTL.com~, he found the two who were about to become sisters and brothers, so it was naturally foolproof.

   Must be changed, absolutely must be changed.

In the movie "The Last Samurai", if you look at it in depth and interpret many of its things, you can actually see that many of the things in it are still mainly Western, or simply speaking, American-based. Kind of perspective.

   is that the United States wants Japan to be like this, so I have this script, this movie.

   The Americans knocked on the door of Japan, and they brought modern civilization and technology.

   Therefore, the Japanese should be grateful to the United States. Even if they kill people, even if they do a lot of things, even if the main killers in this movie are the Japanese.

   can also be generalized. This is Asia in the eyes of Americans, that is, the door of China was not opened by Americans. Otherwise, they might also make a movie like "The Last Martial Arts Master".

  So, can Kusano Yuki really convince Mr. Cruise?

   "Sir, please allow me to tell you what the real Japan or the real East is like."

"That's great."

  "Oriental culture never repays grievances with virtue, but directly repays grievances. Let me explain that, blood for blood, tooth for tooth, the other side treats me with courtesy, and I also return with courtesy. This is the Eastern philosophy."

  Kusanoyuki finished speaking, still smiling, did Tom Cruise understand?

   The handsome guy was shocked for a long time.
