Start the journey of Rurouni Kenshin movie tutoring. In fact, when I was in junior high school, I had read the original manga, and I really liked it very much at the time. I also hated the anime version because of Kazuyuki's beautiful style, and I didn't even watch the live-action version that came out later. I didn't expect that after n years, I would take the initiative to make up for it, and I didn't expect that the movies of these 12 years were actually pretty good. First of all, the casting is very good. Sato Ken is more suitable for Kenshin than I thought. He is gentle and sharp, and his appearance is very convincing (laughs). The key is that the action scenes are good, with a sense of lightness, speed and strength, and it is the flying sword style that I can accept. Personally, I like Hui, a beautiful lady like a little fox, quite restored to the comic image. Kaoru is just a little off. Although it’s good to be simple, I always think Kaoru is more beautiful. Sanosuke's costume is restored hahahahaha. Secondly, let's talk about the plot. Although it has been n years, I still vaguely remember some. Should the stories of the two units be integrated? In the middle, the apprentice Yahiko is omitted, and it is directly the apprentice of the Kamiya Liu Dojo. This adaptation is possible, so there is no need to procrastinate. The rhythm control is still good, there is nothing to call me, the "original party" (pseudo), there is nothing wrong with it, and it looks quite smooth. By the way, I must mention that Guanliu was actually played by Owada. The part of the machine gun shooting made me laugh. As expected of Owada-sang, I was so happy in any crew. Another little surprise is Uncle Eguchi who plays Saitoichi. Although he doesn't have the gloomy and sharp sense of the original, he is still very handsome and handsome. The pose of Saitoichi's signature ultimate move is super accented and very good. like. Finally, let’s talk about action scenes, and this is the essence of Rurouni Kenshin. Honestly, what a surprise! I haven't seen such refreshing martial arts scenes in Chinese costume dramas for several years, but it actually made me feast my eyes on a Japanese movie. God knows how much I love this kind of martial arts drama with few special effects and pure and pure, and now the costume films know how to do a bunch of special effects and then take a slow-moving scene with pretentious actions. This is simply tormenting people. And Jianxin's action style is fast, ruthless, and accurate. I can't say how perfect its martial arts scenes are, but at least such action scenes are really rare in the domestic entertainment costume films in recent years. In short, I am very satisfied with the first live-action version of Rurouni Kenshin, and I look forward to the next few films maintaining this level.
