Unexpectedly, Netflix was on this film, and netflix's X was also made into a cross scar special effect, which is a bit interesting.
Although the film is called Final, and the story is indeed the ending of the original, but there is a Beginning at the back, which is equivalent to the movie version that makes the memory of the "final". Because of this, the look and feel of this film is very weird. As a highly praised "Remembrance" story and a very important female character Xuedaiba, it only took a few minutes to summarize in this first film. Suddenly reduced the charm and characteristics of the Remembrance and Xuedaiba. The scene of Kenshin’s memories is indeed the same as the original manga, but the manga takes a long time to tell this memory, and the OVA that follows also adds to the icing on the cake. But this time just a few minutes to spoil the general way of telling. On the one hand, it makes people who like reminiscences feel awkward, and on the other hand, it doesn’t cause any "suspense". I don’t know how many viewers who haven’t watched reminiscences will follow In this film, I am interested in the story of remembrance, not to mention that Xuedeba’s appearance in this film is actually the memory of his younger brother. Simple appearance, not the umbrella girl under the rain and blood in OVA. It really makes this character more attractive. Discounted, this first impression is very important.
The overall plot of the film is not very different from the comics. The original film I remember is not a Shanghai gang plot. The opening lines of the film are actually in Chinese. The Chinese in the film is not bad, at least understandable. What's interesting is that Japan is described as an internal worry. In the state of foreign aggression (the mystery), the Qing government can actually use extraterritoriality to demand the Japanese government to release prisoners in custody. In addition, this time the magic city of Shanghai is lying down again. I remember that Shanghai during the Qing Dynasty was not called Shanghai. It seemed that the level of prosperity was not as good as that of later and now. I feel that Shanghai in the eyes of the Japanese has only been the only Shanghai from the Republic of China since ancient times. Version. However, this gangster who had been forced into it made the villain's ending more dimension in the end, which was a bit better than the original one. In the end, the description of the people helping Jianxin to open the way is also very good. Said that Sato's Kenshin is really the role of Kenshin, not a live cosplay. These movies really make Kenshin anime characters live.
As for the other characters, Shinai Sen is one of the main players in this chapter. As a result, he was seriously injured and ended up early (the key is that he hasn't gotten a small boss on the other side). It turned out that the final battle was actually a female ninja, his role was changed to Saitoichi, maybe because of Eguchi's reputation? Saito has a lot of seriousness in this scene, but the performance of "tooth protrusion" is still a bit awkward. Sagara has basically been beaten, and finally played with injuries to earn some charm points. Shenmu’s Heavenly Sword was a good role before, but it’s too silly to take his tiptoe preparations. You should take a close-up of his fast-running initial action. This battle with a knife suit can be regarded as starting to not kill people. Up. This time, Yukidai-yin was quite a good interpretation. He played an Avenger well and the action scenes were quite handsome, and finally saw some muscles in Japanese action actors. Even though the actor of Sagara has always been shirtless, there is nothing wrong with it. material. As for Xun, at least he was a swordsman who had experienced Zhizhixiong's period, and was so scared when he saw the villain. . .
The action scene is still at the previous level. When Jianxin is one-to-many, it seems like a matchless. Of course, some details are still missing. The picture also reflects this, but there is no close-up here. This is considered to be one of the ways of expressing the philosophy of the Niblade (In addition, Jianxin opponents don’t talk about wood to some extent. If they are chopped, they should retreat. After all, Jianxin uses inverse blade). In the end, Jianxin and Xuedaiyuan fought one-on-one, and there was no music in an instant. It was a fierce, gorgeous and exciting fight between the two. This period can enter the history of martial arts movies.
In terms of music, there are more female chants (DC Woman Warn), I hope there will be more OVA songs in the next one. I thought the ending song was sung by a European and American, but it turned out to be a Japanese rock group called One OK ROCK. The English lyrics and singing sounded like a mother tongue without accent at all, and it was a bit powerful.
