In 2014, when the final chapter of "Rurouni Kenshin" was released, many people regretted not being able to remake the reminiscence of the masterpiece in the comics. When it was reported last year that the original team created the two final chapters of the reminiscence chapter, both the fans of the original book and the movie were boiling. Because "Rurouni Kenshin" is worthy of the title of the best comic adaptation in the past ten years (even if the time is gone), of course, we are eagerly waiting for such a work.
The success of a work depends on many aspects. "Rurouni Kenshin" first wins in the sky: this film is invested by Japan Warner, and there is such a rich man who does not lose to Dongbao and Dongda Ma, so it is natural to be generous. In addition, of course, the opponent is really too weak, really not! have! one! indivual! can! beat! of! Whether it is the early "Blood High School", the same period "Parasitic Beast", "Attack on Titan", or the later "Jojo's Bizarre Adventure", they are all too weak. Japan is a big country with two-thorned salamanders, and the soul of the second is also hidden in the blood, and the live-action will naturally bring about the problem of exaggerated performances (this is also the reason why watching Japanese performances is very exaggerated, and some old actors are not immune) . And "Rurouni Kenshin" has a good balance between the heavy sense of the second and the history, and naturally stands out.
Secondly, the plot concept of this film also has the potential to be called a masterpiece: in the last years of the shogunate, in the first battle of the fall—the Battle of Toba Fushimi, the fall army won the victory, served the reformists, executed various The executioner of the assassination mission, Pulling Daozhai, saw that a new era was coming, put down the knife and walked away. In order to make up for his crime, he changed his name to Kenshin and used a reverse-edged knife (that is, the back of the knife was replaced with a blade that could not cut people). "Murdering will breed hatred, hatred will drive people to kill, and breaking this causal cycle is the mission of this counter-blade knife." Take this as a belief and fight for redemption.
In terms of actors, the protagonist is Takeshi Sato (hereinafter referred to as Sugar) who debuted in "Kamen Rider Den-O". The reliability of the casting is a major factor in the success of the film. Sugar performed the usual cream of Kenshin, but when fighting, he was resolute and even a little bit ruthless. More dedicated almost all the actors in the film's action scenes are almost in person. Not to mention that sugar as the protagonist is even more proficient in hanging Weiya's sword-drawing skills. As an action film, the good-looking action scenes are naturally the first. The action director of this film once worked in Zhenjiaban, and the action scenes were also pleasing to the eye (Kim Shin VS Cang Zi’s scene is my favorite. ). In addition, the selection of other actors is not inconsistent. Fans of the original book and the movie are not offended. In terms of music, the film is composed by Naoki Sato, and the main theme of the film "Flying Sky" is even more impressive. This gentleman is good at using female voice to sing to highlight the heavy and vicissitudes of history. The op melody of "Dragon Horse" was written by him, and the beginning made people feel the turbulent times of that era. The soundtrack is really a university question. One of the major contributors to the film's ability to balance the passion with the sense of history is the soundtrack.
The production and the scene also need something. The box office of 12.5 billion + yen also proves that the market feedback is very good (the Japanese film market is gradually sluggish "This magnitude can really be called the existence of a giant). Therefore, Warner can't let go of this cash cow. Judging from the first trailer, the overall style is the same as the previous one, and the probability of missing is small. Is it not beautiful to be able to ask for a release in the mainland and see it on the big screen. Although it is unlikely, people still have to have きぼう
