good background music

The plot of this film is very cliché, but the picture editing and soundtrack are top-notch and absolutely refreshing. It can be said that Takeshi Kitano's violent aesthetics are fully displayed in this film. In addition, the film also has Kitano Takeshi's usual little funny style. At the beginning, a samurai drew a sword and injured his companion, and the later part of the gambler teaching others "swordsmanship" was also quite funny. I couldn't hold back, hehe, Again: the background music is awesome! ! !

    After watching this film for a long time, what I saw at that time was Takeshi Kitano's strong personal style. It still feels good

    1. The blind masseuse who has the unique skills of punishing evil and promoting goodness, under the vivid interpretation of Kitano Takeshi, Zatoichi has become another Tsubaki Sanjiro who has lost his clothes. Just like [Extremely Evil] in Japanese gangster films The meaning of [Zatoichi] is also the director's deep remembrance and tribute to the traditional Japanese style and culture, as well as the old samurai films that have disappeared. The appearance of fools who play samurai in the film may be regarded as echoing the main idea. A beautiful tribute to the chivalrous spirit. 2. In addition to the bloody brutality of the sword and lightsaber dance, the film also focuses on the depiction of the daily details of the common people and some ironic humorous passages to neutralize them, combining the ordinary civilian life with the deified samurai legend Linked to each other. With various swiftness of drawing/slashing/retracting swords, with the appropriate ethereal soundtrack, it constitutes a fascinating Kitano-style violent aesthetics. The parallel montage technique of death & wife's daggers / surging tides & blood spreading. 4. The suspense setting of the real murderer behind the scenes & the sound and picture counterpoint of the percussion music. It's revenge. 7. No matter how big your eyes are, you can't see you can't see.
