This is an ordinary movie, but because of its ordinaryness, it has become a rare comeback among Japanese movies where manga adaptations prevail.
The story is about samurai, just like Chinese martial arts films, Japanese movies can never be separated from samurai, and there are already a lot of stereotypes. The stereotype is not necessarily synonymous with clichés. The stereotyped plots, characters, etc. for decades also show the audience's recognition of this outdated setting. Just like watching Peking Opera, fans all know what Yi Ayi's next sentence is, but they have to listen to it.
Plot summary: This is a simple and traditional revenge story. The samurai Xinzhixin (played by Kimura Takuya)'s daily job is to test the poison for the lord every meal to prevent others from harming the lord. Unfortunately, he accidentally ate conch poisoning. Under the careful care of his wife Kayo (Momoi かおり), he turned the crisis into safety, but he was blind in both eyes. Life is worrying again. Kadai finds the samurai supervisor Shimamura Fuji for help, but is raped by Shimura Fuji. After Xinzhixin learns, he drives Kadai and seeks revenge for Shimamura.
What intrigues me is trying to figure out the change in mentality of this new letter:
Jiadai is beautiful and virtuous, and must be the most model of the wife that all men dream of coveting. As a samurai class with no worries about food and clothing, Xinzhihan is also handsome and ambitious. He deserves a beautiful and virtuous wife, and he can whistle and enjoy all this with peace of mind. When everything changed after Shinnosuke became blind, he completely depended on his wife and servants to take care of his food and daily life, and it was difficult to guarantee his original salary. There was a faint worry in his heart, worry about losing his current status, and love for losing his wife. concerns, especially the loss of self-esteem. Kadai went to the hotel to meet people, and the gossip reached Xinzhihan's ears. His first reaction was to sternly reprimand the messenger, but this rumor matched his deep concern, and he secretly sent servants to follow his wife. Knowing that he couldn't hide it, Kadai told her husband about being raped and threatened. His wife was raped, and the salary he ate was what his wife had in exchange for his body. Such an insult was devastating to a samurai. Shinnohan drove Kadai away without any reason, and practiced his sword to seek revenge. What really made Xin Zhihan decided to challenge Shimamura Fuji was that he learned from his colleagues that the lord's promise to continue to pay him was not because of Shimamura's advice, but just the lord's conscience. In this way, the wife is completely deceived. After a thrilling samurai duel, the blind swordsman Shinnokan cuts off Fuji Shimamura's arm.
Seeing this, I was thinking, if Shimamura Tou really got his salary for him, would he still fight? Where is the most sensitive nerve that affects a man's self-esteem the most? Is it the betrayal of the wife, or is it a charity? To be sure, Xinzhi's most sensitive nerves about self-esteem as a man have been touched. Since the person he faced was a scum who deceived his wife, it was reasonable to fight him desperately. So why did Xinzhixin drive away his wife in the first place? Analysis: 1. Kayo said that he knew Shimamura Fuji before he knew Shin no letter; 2 Shin no letter was basically ruined in the second half of his life as a samurai, but Shimamura Fuji was in the sky; 3 Shimamura Fuji was a senior samurai, and his status On top of Shin's letter; 4 Kayo was raped, and then threatened by Shimamura Fujisang and had to go to the hotel twice; . All in all, none of the above is refreshing. Divorcing Kadai seems to be the only option for Shinji to keep his self-esteem.
After defeating Shimamura Fuji, Shinnoko began to regret his words and deeds towards Kayo. After Kayo returned home just at this time, Shinnoko happily accepted Kayo. Jiadai is still the same Jiadai, the servant is still the same servant, the salary is still the charity from above, and the blindness has not changed at all. What conditions have changed? Although the salary is still alms, the giver this time is the lord, and the reason for the alms is that Xin Zhihan was blind when he performed his duties. This kind of alms was won by Xin Zhihan himself rather than paid by Jiadai. The servants are blessed with a new letter if they can eat, so the charity has not changed, but the dignity is preserved. Defeating the person who defiled Kayo, proving that Shinjiko is strong even if he is blind, such Shinji can justly accept Kayo as the protector of his wife, so although the fact that Kayo was defiled has not changed, due to the fact that Kadai was defiled. Psychological status changes, and Kadai goes from a virgin wife to a victim in need of protection. All the changes took place in the swipe of the sword of the new letter to Shimamura Fuji.
The most important thing for a man is his face. As long as his self-esteem is preserved, everything becomes negotiable.
Kimura Takuya played a blind man, and his acting seems to have made a breakthrough, but in my opinion, it's just Kimura Takuya who doesn't stare at people when he speaks. He always likes to laugh at himself when he says bitter lines. The habit of modern people , again appeared on the face of an intermediate samurai.
It is worth mentioning that the actor who plays the servant has portrayed a timid but loyal and honest old servant vividly from beginning to end, and there is no trace of acting at all. Such a powerful supporting actor, I never imagined that there would be such a powerful supporting actor in China. Who is comparable.
