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.

    Being 5 minutes late, and the faces of men who feel all the same, I didn't understand it at all for the first half hour, and then I entered the state after another half an hour. I found the feeling in the last hour. This is the violent aesthetics that Kitano Takeshi and Yao Jingjing appreciate, although the style of the whole film is Not the kind I like, but the soundtrack is just right, it feels great, and the big drum and dance at the end reminds me of a similar scene in bullets flying

    I like the pattern on the kimono very much, so I let the "brother" walk all the way to the camera, and walk so close that the pattern fills the whole picture. —— This is how I imagined the painting idiot Takeshi Kitano’s interpretation of this shot, ha ha. High people in the small town, love. Swordsman in the storm, love. The setting of the two roles of sister and brother, love. Repeated "creaks" are not loved at all! :D
