We are all Jutaro

In that year, there were actually two burst anime films in District 11, one was "Air Killer", which I liked for nearly ten years.

Another was selected by Japan to participate in the Oscar for best animated feature that year. In the same year, Kung Fu Panda, which was still in theaters recently, participated in the exhibition. And the winner is the well-known masterpiece "WALL.E". It's still enough to be able to compete with the robot Wall-E. This movie is "The Stranger" that we are going to talk about today.

Technically, 24 frames per second, pure 2D. It reached the peak of the Japanese industry at that time, but with such a sentimental approach, the commercial result was indeed a double failure in box office/BD sales, and it is said that the production company Bones Club lost 5 years.

In terms of the plot, Daming's Jin Yiwei and his party went from China to Japan in order to make an elixir for the emperor (most likely Wanli) to kill a boy to make a drug lead (Xu Fu was laughing), and the boy boy Taro met a ronin and formed a nameless relationship. Profound (philosophical ♂) friendship, in the end Jinyiwei and the local lords went to war, and the anonymous rescue partner came, and the decisive battle finally came...

Appreciation: Luo Lang, the first master of Jinyiwei, was a blond foreigner. In Daming , will not be regarded as one's own. In Japan, it is also referred to as a red-haired ghost. Luo Lang, who has no sense of belonging, feels lonely and becomes a martial idiot, hoping for a defeat.

Wuming is also a foreigner. From the flashbacks of the flashbacks, it can be found that he personally killed a pair of young brothers and sisters. It was Tsai Taro's appearance that gradually melted his heart and found the faith to live.

In the end, all members of Jinyiwei died in battle, at the cost of the destruction of the Akaike country. The two foreigners start their final duel in the cold wind of snow.

Before the war, Luo Lang handed the forbidden medicine developed by Jin Yiwei to the injured Wuming, and after eating it, he could not feel the pain in his body. Wuming chose to refuse, perhaps, only this pain made him know that he was still alive.
Luo Lang only wanted a defeat, and the nameless Zai Taro drew his sword and cut off the fetters in his heart.

Everything is fate, Luo Lang finally defeated and fell down satisfied. Zai Taro ran into the distance with a badly wounded nameless.

And what I regret the most is Shigetaro, a young man with a few lines.

Shigetaro: If this crusade is successful.
Knotweed: Needless to say, the princess is yours.
Shigetaro: Hay!
Two minutes later, Shigetaro was stunned.

In fact, charging for the long-cherished princess, even if you die. It's better than doing nothing and looking at her silhouette from a distance, right?

The last movie review at the end of the year, I will also find my big sword and princess, I wish everyone a happy new year and more monkeys
