At the beginning of the film, the scene of the film was Japan in the 19th century.

Incognito, the younger brother even disguised himself as a geisha,
The siblings lived by playing the piano and dancing for the men,

The camera also confessed that there is a ronin with strong martial arts,
Live by being the doorman or thug of the powerful,
Wandering around to heal his lover,
Ronin kills everywhere, and his lover sees,
She persuaded the ronin many times not to do such a dangerous job.

In order to make more money to treat a loved one's illness,
Insist on taking risks.
An old lady and some farmers went to the market to sell vegetables,
He was forced to collect protection fees by the gangster Yinzang Gang.
The hard working people at the bottom are indeed getting more and more impoverished,
The pain is unbearable.
Walking in the field, Zatoichi met a group of people who worshiped in the field.
The farmers waved their hoes rhythmically to the music
Hoe, hoe. It is the intentional foreshadowing and metaphor of director Takeshi Kitano.
In the Japanese fields, the scarecrow who is the incarnation of the mountain god is worshipped,
It's not just as simple as driving away crows,
It also contains deep-rooted beliefs,
The good wishes of sweeping away the evil and sweeping away the criminals,
Folks pin their hopes on samurai with a sense of justice like Zatoichi.
On this day, the aunt came home from the market selling vegetables,
When she met Zatoichi, Zatoichi helped her carry vegetables,
The aunt gave him directions as his eyes.
In this way, the two support each other and help each other,
Zatoichi stayed at the aunt's house temporarily.
When you have nothing to do, give the aunt a massage.

It started to kill.
The United Fan House gang got rid of the other two gangs, the L gang and the F gang.
in this town,
Ginzo and Fanya are controlled by two gangs,
They have a big guy behind the scenes who has always been a mysterious figure.
Zatoichi's hobby is gambling,
Once at a local casino, I met my aunt's nephew, Maki,
Although Zatoichi is blind,
But he can hear the dice numbers by hearing,
Hundreds of hits, winning a lot of money.
Shinji followed Zatoichi's bet.
Maki also made a lot of money that night because of Zatoichi.
Happy to take Zatoichi to find a geisha for a drink.
The geisha siblings Xiaobai and Xiaozi saw that Zatoichi and Maki won money.
Offer to spend the night with them both.
That night, my sister, Xiaobai, was about to kill Maki and Zatoichi when she played the piano.
But with a dull expression,
The taciturn Zatoichi is aware of all developments.
The two brothers and sisters saw that Zatoushi was different from the uncles who served in the past.
So let go of killing thoughts and tell Zatoichi all their life experiences,
Zatoichi remembered.
Because Zatoichi gambling has been winning.
The dealer of Yinzang Casino couldn't sit still.
start cheating,
After being known by Zatoichi,
wiped them all out.
The geisha siblings are looking for men to perform,
The man wants to take away his younger brother, Xiao Zi,
My sister knocked out the fan house and the guests,
The siblings escaped.
The director cleverly arranged Zatoichi and the Geisha siblings together.
Yu Shinji took him to hide in his aunt's thatched cottage.
There are people all over town searching for Zatoichi and the two geisha.
After hiding in the aunt's house for a while,
The geisha siblings decide to go to the town to see Ogiya to take revenge.
Sister Xiaobai told Zatoichi about the idea of going to see Ogiya.
As the whereabouts of the geisha siblings were exposed,
The Ginzo gang burned the aunt's thatched hut to force Zatoichi to show up,
But Zatoichi took advantage of the night to go to the town early.
After Ogiya and Ginzo learned that the two surviving children of Naruto's family were geisha siblings,
There was an ambush in the house.
The climax of the film begins here,
The siblings fought against each other and retreated to the backyard.
Just in time for Zatoichi to arrive,
Zatoichi used this to kill Ginzo and Ogiya.
Zatoichi and the gang leader's first master Ronin swordsman had a big battle at the seaside bonfire.
Different from China's gorgeous and elegant martial arts style and Western fencing,
This film is a sudden burst like Kitano Takeshi,
Swiftness—their fights are only one round,
Zatoichi sword came out, and the ronin was killed.
This movie gave me the impression that it is exciting,
Gore and humor.
When the movie starts,
A dozen samurai hunted down Zatoichi in the wild,
When a leader drew his sword, he was too excited and vigorous,
Severely cut the arm of a companion next to him.
There are also fools who imitate the shape of the samurai,
Maggie who is interested in gambling and beauty,
There are also a few laughs in Zatoichi itself throughout the film.
Interested friends can watch the whole film to find out.
If you like my commentary, you can follow me,
Thank you all, see you next time.
