In a one-to-many one-to-many in Guanliu's courtyard, Jianxin ran sideways in circles, focusing on the lower body of the enemy, and ran lower and lower, almost parallel to the ground, then suddenly jumped up and jumped out of the enemy's encirclement. This is one of the two most striking moves in this film. I don't know where Wu Zhi got his inspiration from. It was so creative that I couldn't help but be amazed.
The former action is real, and the other biggest action highlight is imaginary. It is the last sword cut in the duel between Kenshin and Blade Guard. This is a famous skill in Japanese martial arts. One move determines the outcome. All the lessons learned in life are displayed at the moment of drawing the sword. This action is not easy to shoot, it has gone beyond a simple routine, and showing it in all directions will only reduce the effect of this trick in the minds of the audience. The method adopted in many films is to skip it directly: the moment after the sword is drawn, the swordsman stands with the sword, blood slowly drips from the opponent's mouth, and his body falls with a bang. The director's design in the film is very innovative: before the move, Kenshin's action of retracting the sword is intentionally elongated, and with the sound of the bass, the sword finally has eight scabbards. When the knife was swung, I saw the light of the knife, as if it was about to stagger the body of the blade guard, and it was likely to miss a hit. At this most crucial point, the camera changes to Kenshin's angry face, and then there is a pop, and Blade Guard has been knocked down. Using the swordsman's expression instead of the sword has to be said to be an excellent solution when encountering highly challenging moves.
Thinking of Gu Long's novels, describing the action of martial arts, the often dry sentence "no one can describe the speed of that sword" is over. I really hope he was born a few years later and can watch the classic martial arts films of later generations. Although all the real movements have been written down by the martial arts masters of the Republic of China, and it is difficult for authors who have never practiced martial arts to master the real movements, it is not that there is no way to go, and the virtual writing can also be very good. Not to be shriveled.
