Kawajiri's Film Aesthetics Embodiment

Kaia 2022-01-07 15:54:18

Yoshiaki Kawajiri is the author of the original character, script, and supervision of the movie. The aesthetic style before and after can be fully displayed.

Hirotsuji Kawasaki’s Kibashi card at the beginning of the article and the Fire Sea card at the end of the film show the tension of his original painting.

Hamazaki Hiroshi’s later performance style in "Life and Death of a Swordsman" can also be seen here, as quiet as a virgin, and the motion design of the action that is like a rabbit has the shadow of a chivalrous woman.

The film script is simple, and Zhang Che's revenge motif and some fighting scenes can also be seen.

As a digression, the later "Koga Ninja Stickers" borrowed many things from this, such as the immortal pharmacist, the ninja fighting technique, punching the fist through the wall, the poisonous beauty, and even the name is Yang Yan. .

(In addition, the voice of Yamadera Koichi is too attractive, which adds a lot of color to the characters, a feeling of samurai SPIKE-_-

    4.5 Violent aesthetics, although the film is a bit old, and the picture looks rough now, but the fluency of the plot is quite good. The male protagonist is the type in the traditional Japanese martial arts movies, and is destined to be a lonely warrior. In addition, I think how those perverted ninjas are established physically!

    The eclectic classic does not have the extreme cinematic style of Otomo Katsuhiro, nor is it as harmless and environmentally friendly as Hayao Miyazaki of the same period, and does not have the aesthetic tendency of Oshii Mamoru. Blood is blood, flesh is flesh, and dirty is dirty.

Ninja Scroll quotes

  • [Kagero has poised her sword at Dakuan's back]

    Dakuan: What are you planning to do?

    Kagero: The man you hired will die of poison soon unless you give him an antidote. You must tell me how to save him.

    Dakuan: Why ninja girl, you amaze me. Do you mean to tell me that... you're in love with him?

    Kagero: Old fool, he saved my life and I'm simply... returning the favour!

    Dakuan: [chuckles] I don't think so. Imagine a ninja woman who believes she's falling in love...

    [Kagero stabs through his hat]

    Dakuan: If you kill me, then he will die as well.

    Kagero: Hmm. Yes that's true, but your mission won't be accomplished either.

  • Kagero: Tell me - why did you join him, Jubei?

    Jubei: He hired me. For a hundred pieces of gold.

    Kagero: Will you do anything for money? A ninja for hire?

    Jubei: That's right. But it seems that he's beaten me this time.

    [shows her the wound on his arm]

    Jubei: You see, he trapped me. Looks like I'm gonna die of this poison in about half a day.

    Kagero: [gasps]

    Jubei: He also promised me an antidote besides the gold pieces. That's why I work for him. I can't back out now. You better go away while I divert their attention.

    Kagero: I couldn't do that. I would end up owing you another debt.

    Jubei: I can't sell your debt, okay?

    Kagero: Look, I told you, I don't take orders from you! And I'm ready to die at any given moment.

    Jubei: You don't have to convince me you're tough.

    Kagero: No?

    Jubei: Oh, damn it! It's this hot and damp air. I wish a storm would come so a shower would cool your head.

    [walks away and vomits blood]

    Kagero: You're in no position to worry about me.
