Seeing that it is a screenwriter by Shinobu Hashimoto and a classic Japanese samurai movie made me very much looking forward to it. After watching it, I was not disappointed. I keep researching how to mobilize audience engagement and satisfaction through stories. Therefore, while watching the story, it is necessary to analyze it. At the beginning, there is a suspense: who is Mrs. Azhi? Why should a woman who is a feudal lord be divorced? Why did she attack the feudal lord? Does the male lead family want to accept her? This made the audience look forward to this woman, but found that she turned out to be a good woman with both talent and virtue. This one is very appetizing and unexpected.
The second is that the protagonists encounter a choice: whether to let Mrs. Azhi return to the feudal lord, and this choice must bear the pressure of all parties. The pressure of the clan, the internal pressure of the family (wife, and the youngest son; the protagonist and the eldest son), the pressure of the feudal lord, and even the inner torment pressure of the male protagonist. The accumulation and intensification of these pressures makes the story more exciting. I have observed that the writers repeatedly let these pressures explode, which is really wonderful.
The theme of this story is also obvious, which is to fight against the unfair and absurd system. This theme is buried from the humble beginning of the protagonist's entry into the family. Even his swordsmanship philosophy is "always give in until the opponent is tired." The awakening of the protagonist comes from seeing the happy love between his son and Azhi before he is awakened. Therefore, when he was faced with various forces trying to take away his awakening, he was determined to fight hard, and this was the biggest tension of the film. So good stories have their own characteristics.
