It turns out that this is the kind of story that boys read when they were in school.

"Rurouni Kenshin" is a popular comic among boys in school, including "Slam Dunk", "Dragon Ball", and "Youyou Hakushu". Girls like the American War, the Nile, the Rose of Versailles, or romance novels. For someone like me who doesn't account for both sides and likes to watch the sea wolf, red and black, the story of Kenshin is completely unfamiliar. And it belongs to the type of comics that you don't want to open when you look at the cover. Until a few days ago, a friend recommended this live-action manga to me. The selling point was that it was good-looking, "the male protagonist is beautiful and looks better than the girls." I just opened this five-step song.

Let me focus on what I think is a little unreasonable. It may be caused by cultural differences between China and Japan, or it may also be due to differences in people's personalities. The first is that Jian Xin was originally adopted by Master because of the death of his parents. When Master saw him, he was digging a hole to bury his body. As far as I understand it, someone who has experienced the pain of losing a loved one and later turned into a murderous executioner is really jumping too far. Of course, what the original author wanted to show was Kenshin's great love and pursuit of a new society. After all, both parents died under the old system. But it always felt a little unreasonable. The second is that after Ba later changed his attitude towards Jianxin, he even ran to the group of people who were going to kill Jianxin, instead of first warning Jianxin, "Someone is trying to kill you, run away. I am the one they sent to monitor you." , but I've changed my mind now." This is something I can't understand. How could Yiba not know the tactics of those samurai because of her intelligence, after all, she was also born in a samurai family. And in the final battle between the boss and Jianxin, because Jianxin couldn't see that he was at a disadvantage, why didn't she give the boss a knife in the back, simple and fast, but hugged him to stop it? Comprehension incompetence. That man is going to kill your man, why don't you kill him first? The fight was only 1v1 before, and I also wanted to stop the fight between the two sides. I have tried my best, but I can't stop it at all.

In addition, let's talk about the deepest feeling overall, the male protagonist's face is really good, and it can be seen that he has worked hard in martial arts for the filming of the drama. The smile is very juvenile, and the makeup is really rare to play. People can't help but pause and lick the screen. Kamiya Kaoru's actors and the character shown in this drama make people dislike it, and I always feel that I am not capable of forcing Lai Lai's mother and mother (in fact, they run a dojo, and they also raise a group of big men and young men who eat rice with them). I like Hui in the character of the actress, she is tenacious, capable and calm, I always feel that she is a loss with Tie Hanhan. As for Ba, I feel a little weak, the actors are beautiful and the makeup is good, but the character is not clear, and it's a bit masked. Of course, this is not all the actor's problem, and the screenwriter may have to bear the blame.

As far as these five films are concerned, I think the best plot and character creation is actually the first one, especially Hui's character is so full that I hope she will be the heroine in the future. There are already many comments from fans of the original book in the comments. I haven't read the original book. This movie is the whole story of Kenshin that I know.
