After watching the second and third big movies of "Rurouni Kenshin", Kenshin, which is in the alternation of old and new eras, was crushed in the alternation. Kenshin is a tragic figure, who wants to bear the idea of ​​stability and peace, However, it was unable to do so, and I knew in my heart that the new government might not be able to achieve it, but I was still willing to believe it. The original vision of the Reformers has also changed after more than ten years, and the adherence to the samurai spirit has also become part of the political deal. Dissatisfied with Taiping He's true aspirations to the Western powers, they attempt to create chaos in order to realize their ideals. Zhi Zhixiong really had a strong sense of survival in the battle ten years ago, which is why he still survived after the mass attack and the fire and was able to easily defeat Jianxin, but when Jianxin was constantly reminded to live, Jianxin The heart finally found that it is not difficult to seek death, but how to make oneself have the belief of survival after seeking death is more important, which is why Zhi Zhixiong was defeated in the end. What really enables people to move forward is not the fear of death, but the desire to survive in the face of death. This desire to survive is different from living without compromise, but the kind of hopeful struggle and effort. The forest burned by the fire will be lush and lush one day because of the hope of living. This is true for a person, a nation and even a country.

Above hope is the insistence on peace. This kind of peace does not stand in line. The peace that Jianxin chooses is an idealistic peace. Jianxin hates the crime of killing committed by the Restoration Government in the name of peace and leaves. Although ten Years later, they still choose to help the Meiji government, but this does not mean that Kenshin thinks they are peaceful, just because the Meiji government is the party that seems more hopeful and likely to be peaceful. Looking back at history, even with the lofty ideals of the Meiji government, Japan eventually embarked on the path of militarism and committed unforgivable crimes.

"Rurouni Kenshin" is a great work, not only the spirit of the samurai, but also the analysis of the great changes in society, the rebuke and disgust of war, everyone will see what they can see now, and I am in this The film sees more social changes and character struggles.
