The movie is very good, it's really a masterpiece.
At first glance, I felt that the picture was very clean. I watch black-and-white movies just like ink paintings, the most taboo is to pile up messy pictures indiscriminately. As for the barrage, it’s not necessary to praise the lens all the time. The lens should serve the story. It may not be beautiful, but it must be appropriate. The shots of this movie are just right.
Secondly, the plot is smooth and the rhythm is tight. The story is simple. A group of aspiring young people rescued high-ranking officials imprisoned by corrupt officials with the assistance of ronin warriors. And the fight between the pros and cons is the most obvious thing to watch, and it's only exciting if there are exchanges and exchanges. Finally, the theme is sublimated, so that the film has connotation. The movie uses "scabbard" as a metaphor, which has the meaning of "stopping fighting for martial arts". A good knife should be placed in the scabbard, which embodies the "benevolence and justice" of Confucianism. We have power, but we value harmony.
