I stand in the dark, hunched over, praying for a little light

The series of this film has long been known for its reputation. In addition to the exquisite and fluent martial arts scenes, it also perfectly interprets and reproduces the core of the comic "Rurouni Kenshin". It's been called the best comic book movie to date. The protagonist Hiimura Kenshin was once a peerless killer, known as "the executioner draws his sword". During the Meiji Restoration, in order to create a new era, he beheaded countless people with his extremely fast swordsmanship. Hot blood splashed on his face, and the smell of blood on his body could not be washed away. Born with long fiery red hair and a red coat, this is a legendary image engraved in the hearts of everyone at that time. He had never been such a kind person. When he was a child, he buried the bodies of the bandits who slaughtered his villagers one by one. In the face of the challenges of one person after another, no one was killed in that turbulent era. He never had such a ruthless person. During the Meiji Restoration, countless people died at his hands. In order to help the government clean up politicians with different political views, he did not know how many dead souls he did not know were buried under the sword. The changes in the political situation of the times made him pick up the murder knife, and finally put down the murder knife. After giving up killing, he was determined to find a way to protect the new era without killing. He sticks to his bottom line, and only uses the blade that the master swordsmith Akira Arai forged for him to face his own counter-blade. However, he always encounters enemies due to his former executioner status, and a mission that fuels the process of changing dynasties that he must oversee as a swordsman. The sword that was thrown in the past forced Kenshin to pick it up. It is conceivable how naive it is to face a wolf-like opponent with a counter-blade knife. Combat is never a place to find meaning in combat, only pure killing or being killed. Kenshin is a peerless master, but what can he do? He is still weak, still tormented forever in the memory of eternal murder. Almost several times, Kenshin couldn't help but want to become the executioner again, because of the presence of the heroine Kamiya Kaoru and other friends, he found the poor man Kenshin who didn't want to kill again. People originally have to walk with each other's arms, so that they have companions. He is a ronin, even though his board and lodging are settled, his heart is wandering. When he met Xun, he became Hiimura Kenshin again. In the end, the villain Zhi Zhixiong, who fought against him, shouted with real anger and grief: "Senior, it's the times that chose you!" Did the times actually choose Kenshin? The times do not choose anyone, and in the torrent of the times, no one can be alone. The old and new eras alternate, and everyone is a victim. In the dream, Fang Xiao was cold several times, and the cries of the unjust souls buried under the sword of Jianxin in the past, only Jianxin himself knew that it was stagnant in his heart. I have delayed myself countless times in my heart. He once carried the name of a killer, in order to create Create a new era to bear all the guilt. When everything was over, the burdens imposed on him still couldn't be put down, but the end of the legend was the beginning of a dull life. He is a contradiction between the past and the future, he is also a legend of the past, he has his own life, a life that truly embraces life.
