      Rurouni Kenshin: I haven't Let Go of the Sword in My Hand

      After the turbulent Meiji Restoration, Japan ushered in a new era. In the tenth year of the Meiji government, an ominous atmosphere pervades Tokyo. The wicked industrialist Takeda Kanyanagi manipulates the female physician Gao Hahui to develop a new type of opium, which openly recruits the down-to-earth warriors, buys the surrounding land aggressively, and methodically realizes his wolf ambition. During this period, Udo Renee, who indiscriminately killed innocent people in the name of the...

      Rurouni Kenshin


      I have been wanting to watch this movie for a long time, with curiosity about the Japanese cold weapon sword. The name of the movie makes people want to watch it. After watching the movie, I know that the name is only the name of the protagonist.
           The plot doesn't say anything, there is no plot at all. The place where the stars are obtained, the picture is good, several heroines are very beautiful, there is Aoi Yu. The battle of cold weapons is also so-so. All kinds of anti-human...

      untouchable person

      It must be the live-action version of "Insect Master" that caused me a lot of damage. For a long time, comics and movies have become my restricted area. At that time, I was busy dealing with weird personnel affairs, and I was indulged in the trouble of not being able to write novels. What kind of Rurouni Kenshin live-action movie, I have never heard of it. Now the news of the second and third volumes of the Rurouni Kenshin live-action version is sweeping like fire. I'm not...

      In the new era, keep the heart of the sword

      The turmoil at the end of the Tokugawa period, the Meiji Restoration, the change of the old and the new, and the changing times. A new era has arrived. (Here BGM Shengsheng Liuku~New Era へ~---Sato Naoki!!)

          Whenever the sword is drawn to kill people, the color tone is cool.

      The executioner, Pulling Dao Zhai, was ordered to fall by the sect and lurked in...

      a persuasive man

      Recently, I really wanted to watch Japanese comics, so I found "Rurouni Kenshin" in 2012.

      That era in Japan was quite interesting, and many characters were born. Based on the fact that I haven't read the comics and animations, I thought this live-action version would feel uncomfortable, but in the end I was completely attracted by its beautiful pictures and dynamic soundtrack.

      I really like the character setting of Hiicura Kenshin, the ponytail on the head, the "X" scar on the...

      It is a very good one in the Japanese live-action version, but there is a common problem in the recent adaptation of the drama. Whenever the most brilliant part is deleted, Yuting Fanzhong uses his life to block Takeda Kanryu's heavy machine gun in the way of stacking Arhats, giving the four Naimori Cangzi won the time and defeated Takeda Kanryu's heavy machine gun. When he read the comics, he felt very tragic, but he couldn't show it in the movie. And "Kill the...

      It's more of a repaint than an adaptation, because this script belongs only to the present. Sato, Yoshikawa and Kagawa live up to expectations as the core of the story, only Takei Saki lacks the temperament of the sons and daughters of the warrior family (it is better to go straight to the valley). Naoki Sato has the worst performance, who can't learn from Hans...

    Behind the scenes gags

    "Wanderer Kenshin" is the first work since the independence of Keishi Ohtomo, the director of NHK's Taiga drama "Ryomaden".
    The official poster is from the photographer who has won the Asahi Advertising Award and the Daily Design Award. It is particularly conspicuous and gives a strong visual shock.
    In view of the difference between the animation and the live-action visual effects, the live-action version of Kenshin Hiimura's hair was...

    Evaluation action

    "Wanderer Kenshin" has been widely praised when Japanese period dramas are gradually declining. The action scenes of this film satisfy the audience, and many original work parties strongly recommend this work, which is rare compared to previous popular comics   . Since the original work is too long, it is impossible to tell even a short story in one movie, so the producer simply created a new story. This also gave Otomo director more...
