      A huge lineup of Japanese samurai movies

      It is comparable to "Seven Samurai", but there is still a gap compared to "Ran". It's been a long time since I saw the lineup, such a huge samurai drama. very nice.
      For the sake of the common people, 13 samurai assassinated the general's younger brother. As a result, they fought with the general's guard of 200 people and finally killed the general's younger brother. This is a real event that happened 23 years before the Meiji Restoration.

      take an hour

      Thirteen people kill 200 people. At first I thought they were all crazy.
      Can 13 people kill 200 people?
      In view of so many years of education and the resulting pseudo-experience
      , when I saw half of the film, my heart was full of suspicion and disdain
      . I
      thought it was a level 10 hero who played 1 book.

      There are only 2 places in this film. I think the incision at the beginning of the bloody film and
      the incision at the end of the film are
      both...

      "The Thirteen Assassins"

      "Is "Thirteen Assassins" good-looking?"

      "Not very good-looking..."

      "What do you say?"

      "Thirteen Japanese samurai, in order to achieve justice, traveled far and wide to assassinate brutal tyrants. It reflects the collision of two different values ​​of samurai belief and ignorance; it also reflects the spirit of revolutionary optimism; it also shows how to kill more with less; it also caters to the wildness of bloody violence of some human beings; it also naturally...

      "The Thirteen Assassins" of the advanced version of "October Siege"

      I started to search for the Japanese version of 12 Angry Men, but I didn't expect to see such a good film by mistake. The opening scene was a suicide shot, which reminded me of "Grave of the Fireflies". Although it used a relatively familiar symmetrical picture, I always felt that it could be more atmospheric, and the scenery could be placed with a sense of ceremony. The white bar or the entire shot is wider, which can highlight the insignificance of the characters in the larger environment. I...

      That atomic bomb was launched 100 years ago

      Like a samurai kill, the film's narrative is concise and powerful.

      The opening cesarean section determines the bloody tone of the film.

      People with no limbs, beheaded, blood plasma, and women in the whole village were fucked.

      The director's bad taste makes the whole film both sensual and exciting, without losing the seriousness of the film.

      This is probably due to the director boldly symbolizing the characters and omitting the deep...

    Behind the scenes gags

    The film was mainly shot in Yamagata-ken 's Ochiaijuku set group, during which time I went to various parts of Kyoto to film for about a month.
    やまだたかゆき once fell off the horse during filming, but fortunately he was not injured.
    Takeshi Ibara, who plays the role of swordsman, has acted in many period dramas and is quite confident of his own killing formation level. He did not receive any swordsmanship training before....

    Evaluation action

    The cast is strong; the director is famous; the production is meticulous-from the costumes to the set, as well as the effective scheduling and control of the action scenes and blasting scenes, all show the degree of intention of the film. From hardware to software, "Assassin of Thirteen People" is a superb work, but after all, it is a remake, with enough visual impact, but the plot lacks surprises, which will somewhat compromise the...
