If you say it’s not good-looking, it’s not as good as the original. Will you die if you don’t pretend to be?

The new work is better and more modern!
How come Jinyun, who lives in the old village of Shichuanhai, has no aura? When he arrived at Jing Yi’s house from the beginning of forbearance to the final murderous duel, he grasped it quite well, saying that the duel was too weak. Do you think you were watching a Chinese martial arts drama, with martial arts flying around? Too sensational, this is the modern version of "Cutting the Abdomen". Of course, it must have modern elements. You have watched so many tragic and sensational dramas, and you haven't seen you fart. After watching "Yi Ming", you feel sensational. You don't pretend to be forced. Can you die?
The original version of Qianqianyan's corpse was sent home, and I couldn’t see the sadness of Tsuun. Why did Kobayashi deal with it this way? It may be related to the environment and history of Japan at that time, but the newly shot "Ichimei" handles more in line with modern times. In terms of aesthetics, Jin Yun went from consternation to grief and anger. Ichikawa Hai Lao Zang performed very vividly and very well, so why is it not as good as the original?
Why does Jinyun want revenge?
The focus is not to cut the abdomen, but to cut the abdomen with a bamboo knife.
At that time, many ronins were forced to cut their abdomen by the hypothesis of poverty. If there is such a thing, I despise him for tarnishing the name of the samurai.

Qian Qianyan ran to the daimyo's house to have his abdomen amputated. It seemed to be blackmail, but in reality he was begging for food. It was extremely miserable.

If Qian Qianyan cuts himself up with a real samurai sword, the matter will stop here, Qian Qianyan will die if he is dead, Jin Yun has no reason to come to seek revenge, it is you Qian Qianyan who wants to commit suicide, and you have to run to Someone else's family died, so I can't blame anyone else, but Jinyun wants revenge anyway, just to learn that Qian Qianyan actually used a bamboo knife to cut his belly.

The samurai of the Ii family knew that he was wearing a bamboo sword, or forced him to have his abdomen cut. Before he died, he suffered a lot of ridicule and pain, and lost his dignity after death.

What shame is it for a samurai to cut his belly with a bamboo knife? This is what Jin Yun wants to ask, so he walks into Jing Yi's house to ask for justice.
At the end of the film, Jinyun fights, and the bamboo sword is also pulled out. This is Jinyun's complaint and irony of Bushido. I think this modification is more vivid than the original version.
From a realistic point of view, it is ridiculous that Jinyun used a bamboo knife to fight the warriors of the Jingyi family, but from the perspective of the film's artistic conception, this is an illusory film expression technique, which is more appropriate than the original version.

Jin Yun died in a decisive battle, which is more modern than the original version of the abdomen.
You guys who are pretending to be forced, just pretend.
