      A good knife with a handle

      The wife said to Tsubaki Sanjiro: A good sword should have a good handle.

      Tsubaki Sanjiro is undoubtedly a sharp-edged sword, with an old-fashioned heart, he draws his sword to help, and saves a group of young people and old families in the city; Household Banbei is also a sharp blade, a careerist recruited by a careerist in an attempt to reap the benefits of a fisherman; a hero in Guangzhou communication is a veritable core combat power. Unfortunately, they are one...

      causal reincarnation

      While watching "Thirty-three Tsubaki", I remembered chatting with a layman a long time ago. He said that the Buddha Dharma is boundless, and even if the Buddha moved his finger, all kinds of troubles in the world would disappear, and the whole world would be equal and peaceful. So I asked him if that was the case, why couldn't the Buddha with great wisdom and great powers move his finger? He said to me the four words "karma wheel" in a meaningful way. These four words relate to the most...

      Heroes cherish each other - the system can save heroes but not heroes

      Tsubaki Sanjirou, you are a scabbard without a sheath. You are meddling with your own business. The wife said that he is not worried about his husband. How can an old fox in his husband cut his belly as easily as a few cannon fodders?

      The nine people have already said that they will die together, and they have long been prepared to die together, you mind your own business!

      How easy is it to be a hero? Just like "Seven Swords Down the Tianshan Mountains", others are not less wary...

      Tsubaki Sanjiro is not his name, he is just a man in his forties

      I originally wanted to write a short review, but I can feel that the word limit for getting a short review is something I can't describe no matter how simplified the language is.

      The lady asked the ronin what's your name? Ronin obviously didn't want to mention his real name, but simply looked at the camellia and said that his name was Tsubaki Sanjiro, but he was not. In order to ease the atmosphere, saying that he was almost forty, compared with the rebuke of nine...

      The fun of samurai movies

      Both the big story and the small details, the scene scheduling is good, without losing interest.
      Fighting Wisdom, Eastern Wisdom. Don't win with grand scenes.

      Samurai movies, action movies with oriental characteristics. Samurai theme, can carry a variety of content.
      As a sign of righteousness, as an absurd existence, the panic of the decline of the gentry, the familial nature of strife, and so on.
      Akira Kurosawa's movie script structure pursues a dramatic script...

      After working hard for a year's work, the ronin still swipes his sleeves away after finishing his work, and does not take away every piece of smoke. This is more "literary" and more comprehension, more playful and vivid, but not less dramatic. Thirteenth Lang is more promiscuous, innocent, free and cute, and the final duel is still a moment of stillness, bursting into the...

      That long shot of the final duel took the atmosphere to its extreme. That tense feeling was like the bladder was constantly expanding, and then it exploded the moment he took out the...

      The companion piece to "Stick with Heart", even the soundtrack and ending scenes are the same. Enter the play quickly, there are gimmicks, there are laughs, and there are thunder points. It can be considered that there are some positive female characters. Jian Taili can't be sheathed, and the philosophies that are introduced are...
