At Hiraizumi / Fujiwarakan. Yoshitsune (Masaki Suda) (C) NHK witnessing the end of Hidehira Fujiwara (right, Min Tanaka) who protected me
A taiga drama “The 13 Lords of the Kamakura-den” (NHK), written by Koki Mitani and starring Shun Oguri, centered on the second generation of the Kamakura Shogunate, Yoshitoki Hojo. In the 20th “Returned Yoshitsune” broadcast on May 22, Minamoto no Yoshitsune (Masaki Suda), who had fallen under Mr. Fujiwara Oshu, gave Kamakura a careful guide, including Yoshitoki. It was drawn up to “returning” (hereinfollowing, there is spoiler).
Yoshitsune arrives at Hiraizumi, which is controlled by Hidehira Fujiwara (Min Tanaka), who has the power to compete with his brother Yoritomo (Hiroshi Oizumi). However, shortly therefollowing, Hidehira passed away following telling Yoshitsune that he was a general (of the Fujiwara clan). Yoritomo uses Yasuhira (Hiroshi Yamamoto), who succeeded him, to defeat Yoshitsune and uses it as an excuse to attack Hiraizumi.
At the time of righteousness, he heads to Hiraizumi to sow the seeds and arouses Yasuhira’s anxiety. In addition, Yoshitsune confessed that Shizuka Gozen (Shizuka Ishibashi) was caught by Kamakura and the child born between them was killed immediately following birth. Yoshitsune intended to spend his time calmly unless Kamakura attacked him, but this reveals his anger. Immediately, Yoshitoki tells Yasuhira and decides to assassinate Yoshitsune as intended.
Yoshitsune’s servant Benkei (Kakuso) stopped Yoshitoki when he was regarding to leave Hiraizumi following finishing his role, and now he is heading to Yoshitsune’s mansion, where Yasuhira’s army is rushing. Yoshitsune, who realized everything, vividly showed his strategy when he was to fight Kamakura, and sent out Yoshitoki with a smile. Eventually, Yoritomo uttered a word of gratitude to the neck tub containing Yoshitsune’s neck, which arrived from Hiraizumi, hugging him and shedding tears of 滂沱 (Bouda).
■ Enjoy the battle lively … The end that seems to be Sugada “Yoshitsune”
The subtitle “Yoshitsune is back (but only the neck)” is sadly and accurately collected. Not only Yoshitsune, but also Hidehira Fujiwara, his wife Sato (Toko Miura) and daughter, Yorihira Fujiwara (Junichi Kawanami), children in front of Shizuka Gozen, and probably Benkei Musashibo … It was a Genocide time.
Even on the SNS, “It’s still May, why is it so hell?” “I remember” Homura Tatsu “(1993) and” Yoshitsune “(2005), but was it such a miserable story?” However, there were a series of voices pointing out the tragic humor.
Of course, Yoshitsune was the one who missed the most. However, like this drama that has defeated all the conventional images of Yoshitsune, he is stuck in the last like Sugada “Yoshitsune” who faces the confrontation with Yasuhira with a big smile without showing any shadow of grief. This is Yoshitsune’s work. “This is the best match for Yoshitsune to leave as a” fucking kid “instead of” a ephemeral and beautifully scattered tragic nobleman. ” But.
Masaki Suda, who played the role, also had words such as “Is there a person who plays such a fucking kid, a strategist, and a lonely person who has no bankruptcy?” It overflowed.
■ Butoh of Min Tanaka who played Hidehira “I don’t think it’s human”
Another person I really want to mention is Min Tanaka, who played Hidehira Fujiwara. Originally a world-class improvisational dancer, he gradually expanded his activities as an actor, and the taiga drama also appeared in “Ryomaden” (2010). The image of Hidehira, who said, “I valued the” static energy “hidden inside Hidehira” (from the official HP interview), “is not the person who has slipped back in time (Hidehira).” The voice was raised.
The desperate scene of walking out into the garden and collapsing is also “the movement at the moment of death is truly as if life had fallen out and became an object” “only the facial expression of the toes bleeding from the delicate movement of the center of gravity is amazing” etc. Praise. In addition, Yoshitsune includes a scene where he sees the illusion of Hidehira dancing in the field, such as “The” movement of things that are not humans “that is unique to dancers is amazing” and “Thank you for the script by Mitani, who puts out Min Tanaka without a hitch!” , A series of inspiring voices. Dancer Tanaka can be witnessed at “THEATER E9 KYOTO” (Minami-ku, Kyoto) in July, so if you are interested, please check it out.
By the way, May 22nd, when the 20th episode was broadcast, was the day when the Kamakura Shogunate was destroyed in 1333, 689 years ago. According to Yoshitsune’s simulation, it is captured by the method of “surprise attack from the sea, surround the returning soldiers, and then set fire to the city”, especially those who are familiar with history “will it be broadcast on this day by more?” I was amazed and impressed.
