The story also has Chinese elements. Emperor Ming kept the tradition of many Chinese emperors pursuing longevity to make alchemy. He sent a group of people to Japan to form a joint venture with local forces to make alchemy. After all, Qin Shihuang and his elders sent Xu Fu and others to Japan to seek the medicine for immortality, which proved to be a shameful business for losing money. I don’t know which emperor has not learned the lesson so much and continued to make such a tragic investment. The money burns so much. On the other hand, the little boy Taro who returned to Japan from Daming took her pet dog to avoid being chased by the Daming alchemy gang. At the same time, he ran into a cool, unnamed ronin. The two walked together. The story follows the same movie. Routine, Wuming Ronin began to appear to be not a normal pretend to be cool, not a normal game life, but we all know that he is destined to have a deep friendship with Zitaro, and arouse the sense of responsibility of the man and the infinite small universe. The two lines are parallel and intertwined at the same time. The identity of Zaitaro and the past are one layer of suspense that pushes the story forward. The flashbacks of blood and pain in the memory of Wuming Ronin are confusing and expectant from time to time. Emotional lightning. At the same time, the open and secret fights of several forces provide a stage for the masters in the film to present the stylized fighting scenes of the film.
As many people have said, the film is full of B-grade taste and Cult taste. First of all, the plot is kept simple and clear. Although it seems to be two lines, some memories are flashed back, but they are all conventional methods of advancement, which does not require the audience to spend too much money. brain. Then, the characters have distinctive personalities, even a kind of paranoia, and they rarely engage in vague and multi-layered personalities. However, characters such as Wuming Ronin have different personalities, but different states are distinct. Such distinctive personalities can often create sparkling flints. In such a sharp duel scene, several characters in the special alchemy group in this film are all such characters who are very distinctive from their personalities, tricks, and weapons. Then there is the fast, fast-paced chasing and fighting, which brings out the invigoration of the master duel. The fast pace also creates a turbulent sense of shaking, which makes me quite dizzy and at the same time being brought into that kind of fierce duel. Feeling in. What I have to say is of course the violent publicity, with the sound of swords passing by, blood must be sprayed out, and people must fall down with hideous faces. Of course, with the exception of the masters, the masters’ deaths are faced directly, and even death, which reflects the important style of the film, that is, the temperament of the Japanese samurai films. Compared with the Chinese martial arts films, the Japanese samurai films actually have no fighting skills. It’s more interesting. It won’t break into the sky without the gravity of the earth. It’s more similar to American Western movies. It usually renders the samurai’s decision-making process. The final confrontation is for a long time, and then it often kills with several tricks. The classic scene is two people from two Hedging in different directions, a freeze frame of contact, you can't guess who hit the sword, and then the two of them had to say two parting words in sympathy, and they fell down. In this film, Luo Lang and Wuming Ronin can be regarded as a condensed of the classic characters of Japanese samurai movies. Both are masters in the industry. Their duel has been created from mutual speculations and dialogues with others before the battle, to the final battle. , The decisive battle under the ruins full of corpses is full of violent beauty. At the same time, as mentioned earlier, this animation has added more fighting scenes. In particular, the moves of several masters are Chinese martial arts style. They are quick to shoot, the rhythm changes extremely fast, and there are many tricks. This is in Japan. Under the temperament of the samurai movie, more violent fun is added, creating a wonderful animation that combines ornamental and temperament.
For the characters in the film, Luo Lang is the one who impressed me the most. Just like the title of the film, "Foreign Man", he is a warrior, minion, eagle dog, and tool with a dual "foreign" identity. At the same time, he is quite sad. The wanderer. On the one hand, for Daming, he is a foreigner. Although he is an almost invincible master with blond hair and blue eyes from the West, he is almost a machine-like loyalty to the court, but it is still difficult to gain the trust of the upper echelons; In Japan, he is a foreigner, a foreigner from Ming Dynasty, and because of his different appearance from his colleagues, he was watched with fear by others. The dual alien identity makes it difficult for him to find a sense of belonging and identity, and this often creates a vigilant and indifferent personality. He appears cold and aloof in the film. Compared with the unknown ronin, the unknown ronin is a physical wandering, but because With a Zitaro accompanied, he is spiritually dependent, so he is not alone. And Luo Lang's wandering is spiritual, seems to be appreciated by the master, seems to be surrounded by obedient subordinates, seems to scare others, but in essence is still a lonely passerby.
It is worth mentioning that the sad soundtrack of the film creates a strong atmosphere, and even the bagpipes that seem to be more irrelevant to the unfolding stage of the film feel integrated with the plot. On a land full of western movie feeling, the desolate Japanese samurai story is matched with Chinese martial arts-style fighting. The three styles merged to stage a wonderful man drama, courage and cowardice, responsibility and escape, men's choice, even if In the end, it is full of shocking tension. A tragic movie that shocks me greatly from the visual to the spirit is worth savoring.
