In the era of the law of the jungle, the ambition to expand, the desire for power, and basically just a few stories, it is easy to integrate into a theme, but the director is unwilling to combine love, friendship, and kindness. I thought the narrative would follow the process of pushing a weak child whose entire family was killed into an extreme self-preservation process. But Goemon, whose family ecology was deprived, gave up his own social ecology. According to Goemon's life course, "freedom" and "peace" won't be fully realized in his mind so quickly. Basically, the time he should wake up is all given to Mayuko Fukuda. Love comes too fast and goes too far. quick. The close friendship of a sword cut in half is not so evil. Originally, I thought that these two people should have a little bit of competition, or the little tacit understanding they cultivated in the competition implies that they will cut off their friendship when they grow up. But the director wanted to show tenderness in the dialogue between Goemon and Chacha, which lacked convincing. Depicting the place where young and young things are trained together, the director is a little hesitant, there is a sense of competition, a little bit of friendship, and vagueness, which makes the meaning of those scenes unclear, just explained There is an inevitable connection between the two. So in the revolving shot of the big rendering of the rooftop scene, we only remember Sato Ken's handsome face. And the Goemon, who had experienced too much blood, always seemed to be too emotional, with a righteous face and too much tenderness, which was too far from the unruly, sloppy and unrestrained thief after that.
As for the unusually handsome and handsome young man Caizo played by the handsome young Sato Takeshi, there is basically no character factor at all, so it just makes us small enough to be addicted to handsome guys.
In fact, in the movie, the characterization is not very full. If we are fascinated by Ryoko Hirosue, and moved by the tragedies of Caizo and Goemon, we are basically deceived by the fancy camera pictures and mysterious movie music.
Technically, the fighting ninjas in the back are basically the spirit of the game. There are many weapons and various tricks. I always feel that the characters are dressed like the shadow of the Matrix. I also saw a few Wolverines with steel claws.
The last scene where Tokugawa Ieyasu is going to die basically made me doubt the quality of Goemon, which caused the theme to drift away a bit. It seems to be creating an image of a folk hero with a spirit of resistance, but in the end it still praises the wise ruler. Goemon's loyal little servant defected, and the sun that was blocked by the moon lit up instantly. The weapon that Goemon wanted to kill Tokugawa Ieyasu was just a token given to him by Chacha - a paper fan. Fools also know the symbolic meaning of darkness disappearing and light reappearing. This unkillable person is the savior of the Japanese people and the Yamato nation. And civilians such as Goemon, had no choice but to die on the mountain path in search of the beloved woman. Although the picture of the fireflies flying is full of sensationalism, it is so beautiful that it dissolves a bit of tragedy. Therefore, this movie that seems to strengthen the personal image is actually just about a small person who has run through the wheel of history, just a stepping stone for a certain person in a certain period. In fact, it still strengthens the big concept of the country and nation. After all, the thief Goemon is no match for the powerhouse of history. Although he has reflected on his motives for revenge, he basically thinks that it is meaningless if he does not reflect.
The music in it is so beautiful that I just want to turn the world around. Hirosue Ryoko's tears are like fireflies.
There is also the signature total solar eclipse. Basically, the total solar eclipse of the world has occurred in Japan.
