The photography is awesome, the light and shadow are beautiful, the director is a special effect background, and the picture quality is high

In terms of the script, Taeko Asano , who I disliked before, wrote an original story that made me applaud - the heroine is the adopted daughter of Zatoichi, and Zatoichi entrusted the heroine to a blind girl group to wander the rivers and lakes and let the heroine have The feeling of being abandoned, being raped, murdering a rapist by mistake, and being expelled by a group of blind girls made her feel the world is cold, so the heroine insisted on finding Zatoichi and asking him if he was her biological father (attachment to father + abandonment resentment), after falling in love with the male protagonist, the female protagonist felt a touch of warmth in the world, and the male protagonist's dying words "you have to live" actually made the female protagonist understand the unspoken sustenance of his adoptive father, Zatoichi - you It's an abandoned baby, I adopted you but will eventually separate, the world is cold and painful, but you have to live

The bell is a symbol of attachment. This movie is actually about the process of the heroine giving up her attachment to her adoptive father, Zuotushi, and becoming independent; snow is the symbol of the cold world; His mother still gave him love and tolerance, but he died of illness when he was 10 years old. Because of his mother, he could no longer draw the sword (repress his aggressiveness) and was abandoned by his father. The male protagonist fell in love with the female protagonist because of the atonement for his mother— - You have to live; this is a good work that runs through "presentation-deconstruction-healing"

When I see good works, I feel intoxicated. It seems that I have always been very fond of and sensitive to the themes of "attachment", "abandonment" and "detachment".
