The discussion of human nature is a main theme of the entire Japanese film and the entire cultural circle, and Rurouni Kenshin is no exception. And it especially likes to intersperse with every little detail to express the warmth and warmth of human feelings so real: whether it is the night watchman who died on the eve of the wedding or the moment when Ken Sato touched the cross wound, or the first time Satosuke saw Kenshin and gave up and When the swordsman duel. The more detail the whole film is, the more memorable it is.
What impresses me the most is the mental journey of Kenshin every time. He has been determined not to kill for 10 years. For him, these ten years are a kind of persistence but also a kind of escape, because he has not yet used the reverse-edged sword to protect the life and death choices. When he first met the executioner he ran away to avoid fighting. When the martial arts hall was threatened, he was afraid of his past because of the use of force, and he was afraid of being afraid of himself.
Eguchi Yosuke's provocation was very indifferent to him, and it was proof of his will to endure the blade of the reverse-blade knife. Later, at the time of Xun's life and death, the entanglement between faith and life fully bloomed in his eyes. If there is no Xun's will, maybe he will return to the executioner who was born by the sword and died by the sword that Yosuke said. But the coincidence of the drama brought him back to the other side.
Put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha on the spot. The hardest thing is not to put down the knife in your hand, but to put down the knife that others see. Just as many people have been in the dark for a long time, the whole person has also fallen into the mud. It is not that they do not want to come out, but they are afraid that the sun will project the darkness of their history more clearly into the shadow. This thicker black Shadow, the dark shadow that everyone is looking at.
It is this fear of facing his own darkness together with Xun that further enhances the charm of the whole character. He's an executioner from the dark but he's a counter-blade that breaks slaughter
