Azumi 2: Death or Love evaluation action
2022-02-28 08:02
The task of assassinating "Masakura" in "あずみ 2 Death or Love" is relatively monotonous, and it is almost reduced to a game of breaking through and cutting the road: the three Koka ninjas who are blocking the road will be defeated, and the "big boss" finally got their wish. Regardless of the fact that there is no "Hundred People Slash" in "Girl Killer Amo" this time, even this time the opponents are weak and lacking domineering generals. The biggest problem is that it lacks those characters with full characterization in "Girl Killer Amo".
Regarding Amo's inner drama, the film seems to focus on the performance - but it seems too babble, and the large-scale reminiscence scenes are simply a waste of negatives. In the film, Amo once again faced the death of her teammate, so she capriciously dropped the sentence "You don't follow me." Then she walked away. As a result, it is naturally the sacrifice of a friend to save him. The story follows this procedural route, which is completely in the audience's expectations, and lacks suspense. It is hard not to give people a sense of impoverishment
.
"あずみ2 Death or Love" wants to show Amo’s pain and contradictory psychology, but the portrayal of the characters is still mostly superficial, shallow, without any digging, and more focus is still on the action picture Above, this is also a common problem with ordinary commercial movies. All in all, many of the vocal characters in the film look dull and have no sense of freshness. Those young boys and girls assassins, even if they are only a little bit human, they just blindly kill and kill, the youth that grows up in the bloody wind. Including those lines are very mechanical and straightforward. It seems that such movies lack thinking, or that they don't need thinking at all
