When I opened the movie, I was in the mood to give it a try. After all, it was drawn in a blind box. At least I had to try it, but I was not confident that I would be able to finish it. It seems that if you set a goal every day now, you will give up because you are too sleepy at night.
But what a great surprise! This film is very un-Japanese. It should be said that it is classified as an idol martial arts drama that transcends national borders. It is better than those master-level samurai movies before in Japan, and it is also better than those traditional martial arts dramas in the past and flying contemporary special effects martial arts dramas in China. I don't know how clever.
The character of Jianxin is very attractive. He has superb swordsmanship, super fast movement, and the strength to block a hundred, but he has deep scars in his heart. That scar was far deeper than the cross scar on his face. Because of this scar, he can only use the reverse-edged sword to fill the scar in the bottom of his heart with his own beatings and injuries. However, it seems that it will never be filled. It is like a bottomless pit. Go, I don't know when I will stop. Until one day he met Xun, and Xun's sword was a cup of warm tea, and the wound poured into his heart, let his sinking self slowly stand up again, and slowly find himself.
As soon as Zuanosuke appeared, even if he hadn't read the manga at all, he guessed that he would become Kenshin's "ally". His toughness and Kenshin's agility are just a strong contrast, resulting in a beautiful dramatic effect.
Yosuke Eguchi didn't recognize him at all. He looked even more handsome after cutting off his long fluttering hair when he was young. He is the kind of person who carries the ideals of He Jianxin, and clearly knows the necessity of paying the price and the compromise with reality. Such a mature appearance may be Kenshin 15-20 years later. A middle-aged Kenshin who finds himself after the smile of a girl who melted in smoke.
In contrast, the two heroines in the movie have no sense. I just feel that Xun is always free from the outside of the play, and Gao Hehui makes me feel a little bit incomprehensible and incomprehensible.
According to the feedback from loyal readers of the comic version, there is a big bug in the plot. It is said that the climax of the movie is the scene where Kenshin saves Xun at the end, but why do I think the climax is to save Gao Hehui! The martial arts design in that match was too dazzling. First, the group battle restored Jianxin's ghostly and fast body shape and swordsmanship, and then the cold weapon evaded the firearm's strafing in the confined space. Takeda Kanyanagi, a wicked industrialist with a cannon, descended. The three parts have twists and turns, pauses, turns, and one-stop, mixed with the performance of the different personalities of the three people, and the loyalty and cooperation of advancing and retreating together. After reading such a wonderful passage, Kenshin rushed to save Xun again, feeling that the audience had no time to catch their breath and could no longer concentrate on appreciating this passage that should have been the most important. In this way, what should be outstanding is not outstanding, and what should not be outstanding is too prominent, which is a big failure.
Fortunately, I'm not looking for "spirit".
