haven't cried for a movie for a long time.

This is a seemingly bland film, the emergence of memories, the crossed past, the perspectives of two people, slowly in the dark night.

There is Okita who still has ugly hairstyle but is so chic and bright.
Always smiling easily but without feeling sad or lonely.
Confident, sunny, and occasionally naughty.
He didn't hesitate to kill without hesitation.
But suddenly fell down and can no longer be seen.

Saitoichi is a real wolf, confident, decisive, and strong.
He didn't think anyone could kill him. He doesn't care about his life.

But Yoshimura, he is a father.
Such a person who deeply loves his hometown, his wife, and his children.
Such people should not die.
Forgive me at first for thinking that this person is so scheming and laughing.
He is just too naive.
Beautiful things are easily destroyed.
Ruined by those who claim to cherish him.

Morioka, born in the south, is such a beautiful place.
Far to the south is Mt. Hayaike, Mt. Nanchang and Mt. Donggen to the west, Mt. Iwate and Mt. Himekami in the north, how beautiful
there is no place I like more in Japan.
Yesterday I dreamed of my daughter, the most beautiful girl in the country, as beautiful as my wife. She was five when I left her, what a wonderful little girl.
My son will be a samurai in the south...
a man who swaggers about his hometown's beautiful wife, beautiful son, wonderful daughter, wonderful daughter. You know how much he loves.


Saitoichi and Yoshimura.
The woman who fell in love with Saitoichi, made a trick to kiss him, the woman who sang, the woman who was not beautiful, the woman who caught fireflies. be happy. She helped her lover, and she didn't leave her lover till she died.
When Yoshimura saw this woman, it was like seeing his hometown.
I will remember a lot, there are people he loves in his hometown.

He understood Saitoichi's heart. Chilling but not cold people.

Saito always said that he hated Yoshimura.

Yoshimura is too greedy for money.
He yelled and pretended to avoid killing.
He was horrified when he heard that they were called the Wolves of Mibu.
He always said sorry after killing people.
He would not allow himself to betray again.

But he still died.
When he died, the money in his hand was still not enough to buy a knife for his son.
When he died he seemed to hear his little daughter singing.

For a moment, I hated Ohno.
As a friend, can't he do something for Yoshimura?
Say what you have to say, your life can be given to you, but you can't sacrifice your clan.
But even if it is really only himself, he will say something for the sake of his family and can't save him, right?
I'd rather Yoshimura die by a gun than die so alone at the hands of his friends.
At the beginning, if he could help Yoshimura as much as he could, so that he would not starve to death without betraying his family, how could things have come to this point?
What rice balls, what swords, don't pretend! You remember him being hungry and ignoring the blood all over his body.
He doesn't want to die, he said it long ago. He was so attached to his beautiful wife, his wonderful little daughter, his wonderful son, the baby he had never met.
He just wants to go home, to see the people he loves, and to the air of Mi's hometown in his hometown.
And after Yoshimura died, he was sad again. In the end, he still fought, but in the end, no one could save him.
Since we still have to fight, since we still need the spirit of a samurai, why didn't we save Yoshimura in the beginning? !
why?
I don't want to attribute this to the times, but to the inevitability of history. Yoshimura is just a little country warrior, a layman who loves money like his life. His fate does not affect the wheel of history. He is real and can survive!


Saito is old, and it is very inconvenient to walk through the leg that the bullet passes through, but his eyes are still sharp.
He is still the wolf of Mibu.
He finally met his Mitsu, his wonderful little daughter Mitsu, who he wanted to see but couldn't see again until his death.
His Mitsukai holds her husband's hand and doesn't want to lose her happiness again.
And he thought of Yoshimura late at night.
