Gao Hehui is too young, Zuo Nosuke is too old, other than that everything is fine

The live-action version of Kenshin... When I heard the news, I almost vomited out a mouthful of blood.
As a diehard of the original, I've silently labelled this film a tragedy, given the consistent poor performance of the live-action version. (The majority of comrades with one star should understand this feeling very well XD)
So, in fact, I didn't even think about going to the cinema to burn money.

But in other words, things will always turn around from time to time.
One day... I saw the poster of the Star Frost chapter when I was shopping.
"Since I have even seen this kind of thing, what else is there?!!!"
Well, the day after it was released like this, I was farting. I went to appreciate it... I

sat down with the shaking M mentality that I was ready to be stunned and tender, and
2 hours later, the ending song played, I silently clenched my fists and roared in my heart.

The plot is still loyal to the original work, at least it has not been changed beyond recognition, and the rhythm is good. But some of the plots in the reminiscence chapter were cut in in advance. I wonder if it will be difficult for those who have not seen the original work to understand.
As for the actors... Please read silently first, this is the three-dimensional three-dimensional...
In fact, as long as you appreciate it with an eclectic and open mind, this cast is still very good. There are many talented actors and the performance is very good. Especially Kagawa's Takeda Kanliu, the perverted capitalist atmosphere that permeates the whole body is too good! ! The only thing you can be picky about is... Kagawa-kun, your face is too round... If Saito Kazuya, there are not many scenes, but the aura is strong! The decisive abandonment of the original hairstyle is even more commendable! Orz
A Xun's words are not lost, there is not much sense of disobedience.
Ahui's tragedy is well known to all. Zuo Nosuke is actually not bad in casting, but he always feels that he is more than five years older than the original.
Finally, Kenshin of Sato Ken. Some scenes saw my girl's heart rekindle, "Ah Jianxin is so handsome!" Well, in fact, I am satisfied that the live-action version can do this. However, it feels a bit cold in the interpretation, especially the memory part, which is slightly subtle.

The filmmaking is really hard work. The OST is amazing, it sets the atmosphere up really well. The fighting scenes can be called conscience, and Kenshin's moves are very serious to restore the original comics, full of momentum.

In general, aside from the chicken-and-egg question of whether Kenshin should be humanized or not.
This movie can be regarded as a masterpiece in real life.

Sincerely, please rate it after reading it, the evaluation in your heart may be completely different.

Finally, thanks to the Xingshuang article, I have a rather good viewing experience in a strange place.

Two-dimensional shapes such as PS masks are really contradictory in the live-action version.
Although this one is not bad, I still have to pray to the death that there will be no sequels. Imagine the live-action version of Shi Zhixiong and Hikaru Kiyojuro... all kinds of shivers
