Takeshi Kitano still used his cold humor to the fullest, and even came out with clogs and tap dances, but
1. The protagonist has completely become Asano Tadanobu, that is, the gangster killer in the Zatoichi series in the past, and the role of the duel with Kitano Takeshi
2. Swords, lights, swords and shadows are flying in a refreshing streak, which is replaced by dismantling the camera lens and computer special effects one by one, completely losing the thrill of sword and halberd films, which is much worse than the same type of movies. A fight is broken down into dozens of shots and cut together, one person is cut with a knife to give a close-up, and then the knife penetration and blood spurt made by computer special effects are too boring.
3. The motive is completely unknown. There is no reason for Zatoushi to avenge passers-by. Zatoushi is the god who descended from the machine from beginning to end.
4. Several Japanese folk songs and dances were sold to foreigners at the Venice Film Festival.
