I haven't watched many Japanese dramas and movies, but I still recognized Kiichi Nakai at a glance. After all, the smile of Yoshitsune in "Yoshitsune" is impressive. This time, he showed two rows of white teeth proudly and tirelessly. Others mentioned wives and children. The story is intertwined with memories from different angles of Saitoichi and Ohno Chiaki, and gradually outlines the image of Yoshimura Kanichiro. Before becoming a samurai, he was a father, a husband, and had a respected job in his hometown, but couldn't support a family with it. After being forced to leave the domain to go out, it seems that only a mercenary group like the Shinsengumi can make him play his best. Knowing that he was ridiculed by everyone, Yoshimura was still "profit-seeking", which shows his sense of responsibility for the family. At this time, the insistence on Bushido can only temporarily take the second place. The scars left by leaving the feudal lords made him extremely sensitive to the word betrayal in the future. This was his bottom line, and he could not betray his beliefs again. Although it is impossible to judge whether Yoshimura chose the Shinsengumi because of the idea of Samurai Zunran, or whether he came to the Shinsengumi with the spirit of loyalty, he is at ease with the Shinsengumi, but those who hold fast to their beliefs are worthy of respect. In this film, everyone seems to be more willing to mention the scene where he rushes to the emperor's army with a knife. In my opinion, Yoshimura's pity and helpless expression when he took off the snowy night and caressed his little daughter's face is unforgettable. The previous confession to her daughter was the warmest affection.
Since the impression of Hiroshi Sato has been rooted in Serizawa Duck, and the impression of Saitoichi is also rooted in Odakiri, there is a sense of incongruity when watching this film. As for the rest, the beautiful Kondo Isamu in other works has been reduced to a vulgar person who fished in troubled times; Hijikata did not leave any impression on people; Sakai-san's Okita, the character he was looking forward to, but no matter how he looked at it, Shannan was revealed. The elegant temperament, where is the youth's momentum?
Fortunately, Hisaishi Joe is still the same as Hisaishi Joe. The soft symphony is accompanied by the main and musical instruments, which complements the film quite well. Sad movies will not be watched a second time, but this soundtrack can be collected to relive the warmth in it.
