Because I don't know Japanese blind swordsmen, I hesitated before watching it. The information I got from the poster is ancient costume, action, samurai and Kitano Takeshi, not the kind of movie with gorgeous packaging, but it shocked me directly in the first 3 minutes.
The soundtrack and visual impact are quite exciting. Ancient costumes and samurai have to think of Akira Kurosawa, including the ultimate boss who can intimidate all directions with his head down and talking. It is reminiscent of the "Seven Samurai" village who gave instructions and lectures. old man. In addition to the costume design of Yoji Yamamoto, the costume design of the cast also adds Akira Kurosawa's daughter.
Cross talk, tap dancing, quick shots, slashing iron like mud, throwing wood with accuracy, I feel that Takeshi Kitano was also very cool when he filmed this "Zatoichi".
Zatoichi is the name of a martial arts master. He is a blind man . He met a pair of geisha brothers and sisters who were full of hatred in a small town . A duel begins between Toichi and Gennosuke.
Zatoichi is a master of lore, but he chooses to hide his name and scatter in the world, and laugh out loud when he massages a woman. In the eyes of others, you are a good massage therapist. On the other hand, Takeshi Kitano is a film master himself. , is also a variety show hot coffee, which can be called a national treasure of Japan. Thinking of "Kangxi's Private Visit in Weifu", the emperor was bored in the palace, so he went out of the palace to pretend to be a commoner, and finally revealed his identity at a critical moment, and the common people were scared and stupid.
Besides, the character design of the movie is basically very full.
Zatoichi is a blind man, but he turned out to be a master of swordsmanship. Furthermore, in the face of black forces and aggression, Zatoichi is ruthless and ruthless, but he is willing to help the old woman to sell vegetables. The basket, gave massages, spoke politely, and was a little shy, funny and warm, which also explained why he would help the geisha brothers and sisters to fight against evil forces, and was a real knight.
The geisha siblings are the most dramatic . They were born in gold, but they were killed. The younger brother was coveted by the bad guys because he was too beautiful. PS The little actor is so pretty.
Gennosuke is the best character in my opinion. He helps the gangsters, and his motivation is to make money to treat his wife's illness. In the middle, he also goes to find the samurai who defeated him before, and wants to win back his dignity. The funniest thing was when I was fighting against Zatoichi, I closed my eyes and imagined that I had won before swinging the knife. It was so funny, the killer didn't pretend at all, it was very real.
And the old woman's nephew Xinji, reminds me of Zhu Bajie, who is a good gambler, does not work if he doesn't go home, a lousy image, but when he is watching the performance of the geisha sisters and brothers, he wipes his tears next to him, and also learns art The prostitute brother put on makeup, simple and full of humanity.
More brainwashed is the labor scene in the movie.
Zatoichi passed the fields, the farmer stepped on the rhythm of the soundtrack, raised his hoe repeatedly to work, danced like Super Mario, very neat and harmonious, with a sense of absurd humor like a mime. After that, Xinji went to the town on a rainy day and passed by the fields, the farmers were still working in the fields, still dancing to the rhythm, and then one of them pushed the other one, which was a little discordant.
After the final confrontation, the new house was rebuilt, and the carpenters and workers chopped wood, chopped wood, and ground wood rhythmically, like a laborer's song, and it was very harmonious again.
All in all, the blind Zatoichi finally opened his eyes, but he still couldn't see anything.
