As a swordsman, I don't want to use the blade to solve the world's disputes. So how can we solve this problem? The first one can be said to be an exploration of the road to save the country and save the name...
The protagonist Kenshin is a martial artist who has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and wanted to use killing in exchange for the era of peace. After the Meiji Restoration, Kenshin embarked on the path Linghu Chong aspired to---withdrew from the rivers and lakes. Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and it seems that peace has not come as quickly as expected, and bullies are rampant everywhere. A girl who inherited her father's will happened by chance. The girl's dojo just occupied the most favorable position for the local bully. After several twists and turns, the battle between Kenshin and the bully began...
Several fights in the film are particularly beautiful, the moves, angles, movements... These paragraphs feel that there are many reshoots. I'm not a fan of the original, I haven't read the original, so I don't know how well it can be restored. When I watched this movie, it reminded me of "Naruto", "Batman", and Mr. Lu Xun. They seek peace in troubled times, and explore what is possible. This is an eternal topic, and there doesn't seem to be a one-size-fits-all answer. Even though Kenshin carried a reverse-edged sword, indicating that he was harmless, but at the end, in order to save Xun, he ignited the killing heart for the sake of love. When love is hurt, there will be hatred, killing, interlocking, endless, and I don't think this is an effective way.
At the end of the film, Kenshin finally finds the direction of the sword and where the heart belongs. I’m all thinking about it. Will Kenshin and Xun in the back live in the dojo together, continue the “active heart genre”, and live a happy life?
