This week, the "wheat field" was originally selected. Like the ancient costumes in "Ink Attack", Fan Bingbing is very beautiful. But after watching it for more than ten minutes, the plot was predictable and not fun, so I gave up.
Watch "Robber Ishikawa Goemon" instead. The overall structure of this film is a bit loose, but the flaws are not concealed, and it is quite fun.
--The handsome guy is very handsome, the actress is not amazing, but the taste is still good.
--The costumes and sets inherit the good tradition of Akira Kurosawa's "chaos".
- Heavy-duty animation effects. Nice try. Although there are shortcomings, there are new ideas.
-- those flashes. . .
1. The way the thief looked at his mother when she was eating immediately reminded me of the little brother in Jun Miyazaki's "Grave of the Fireflies". The older brother is also a thief, watching his younger sister eat with the same eyes that can make the audience collapse. During the war, the younger brother's father died and his mother died; after the war, the younger sister died and the younger brother himself died. . .
2. After Goemon killed the assassin, he covered the quilt for the little mistress (the lover in the dream) who was still dreaming. He first covered his bloody hands with his sleeves, and then gently pulled the quilt, letting the pure and beautiful little girl continue to swim in a dream far from the bloody reality, and continue to be clean. . . (This is the greatest thing a man can do for his lover).
3. When the Goemon brothers parted, a spear with long blades on both ends was split into two from the middle, becoming two swords. That cut off the gun, very handsome. Brotherhood is sometimes more difficult to explain than the love between men and women. When no one applauds and in places, brothers are "handsome" together, which is a feeling that can stand the test of time.
4. Goemon wants to kill Tokugawa! This was a big surprise to me. I thought the story would arrange for Goemon to kill the conspirators and help Tokugawa, the seemingly most reliable politician, come to power. But in the end, Goemon wanted to kill him too! I really appreciate this treatment. A person who is completely free, not controlled by anyone, even a so-called good person.
The film wasn't particularly perfect because the producers wanted it to carry too much. At the level of philosophy: revenge and killing cannot bring peace (similar to the theme of Zhang Yimou's "Heroes"); freedom is supreme (everyone is pursuing freedom, even the powerful minister Hideyoshi is no exception); self-improvement (if you are strong, you will not be bullied by others) ).
At the same time, the film lays out many clues. The battle between "big men", the "contest" in this movie is betrayal (Hideyoshi betrayed Nobunaga, betrayed his allies, his deployment betrayed him, and Goemon's men also betrayed); Emon pursues self-improvement (the thief is the shadow of Goemon's childhood); brotherhood; love; entertainment factors, such as the beginning of treasure stealing.
With so many good things thrown into a movie, even if the film is more than two hours long, it is impossible to explain it clearly. To draw an analogy, this movie is like a big hot pot. Various dishes are being stewed at the same time. It tastes good, but it is not a famous dish after all. Fortunately, I'm a rough person who doesn't care much about diet, and I like this "hot pot" movie, especially when the weather is cold and I want to be warm.
