Elegy of the Samurai

Yesterday, I went to Wuhan East Lake Cherry Blossom Garden to enjoy cherry blossoms. The cherry blossoms are already blooming gorgeously. I always knew that the flowering period of cherry blossoms is very short. I bought a pancake and fruit at the gate of the cherry blossom garden. When it rains, it almost withers in a week.

There is a Japanese proverb: Flowers are cherry blossoms, and people are samurai. Cherry blossoms "would rather be short, as long as they are bright". Japanese samurai thinks that their life should be like a cherry blossom. Even if it is short, it should be as bright as a cherry blossom, blooming to the extreme beauty. For a moment, it was poignant and magnificent.

As the finale of the "Rurouni Kenshin" series, this movie is also a good curtain call for the samurai era. At the beginning of the Meiji Restoration government, the government's ruling power was still very weak, and the power of the samurai class was still strong. Zhi Zhixiong really gathered a group of samurai who were nostalgic for the old era, posing a serious threat to the new government. The Restoration government can only hope "Drawing the Sword" Kenshin Hicun, but at this time Kenshin became disheartened because he acted as the "executioner" of the government in the past and killed many people. How can a person who can't save himself even save others? In order to defeat Zhi Zhixiong, Kenshin asked his master to teach the profound meaning of Flying Yuryu, and when he was pushed to the brink of death by his master, he had an epiphany. The final confrontation was staged in the first ironclad. On the one hand, there was the Zhizhixiong Group, who was committed to overthrowing the Restoration Government, and on the other, Kenshin, Canzi, Saitoichi, and Sagara Sanosuke, who were committed to maintaining a new era of peace. Finally, he realized With the help of the other three people, Kenshin, who has learned the profound meaning of Feitian Yujianliu, reluctantly defeated Zhi Zhixiong, who was burnt all over his body and could not fight for more than fifteen minutes. Although the justice defeated the evil at the end, it was inevitable that it was a fluke. , I don't know what the director meant by filming like this? Perhaps using Zhi Zhixiong as the last elegy of the samurai era?

  • Seijuro Hiko: Cherry blossoms in Spring. Stars cover the sky in Summer. Full moon shines in Autumn and in Winter, the snow covers the ground... All these things make sake taste good. If it tastes bad, it's because there is something wrong with you
