I still want to leave a little mark in the drama review of the animated version of Memories, so I copied and pasted it.

Needless to say, I am very satisfied with the live-action version of the sugar-fighting scene. The Xuedaiba played by Murahua has the right eyes and I like it very much, which is quite in line with the image of Xuedaiba in my heart. The live-action version of the reminiscence version has a clear and well-organized narrative, and there is a good balance between martial arts and emotional scenes. I can't ask for more. I am satisfied, but there are no tears. The point is the paragraph where Jian Xin read her diary after Ba died. After that, I reviewed the last episode of the anime version of Memories, and I was moved to tears again in the final climax.

The difference between the live-action version and the anime is not a little bit. In terms of the lines, the anime version will focus more precisely, such as "If someone endangers the world of Tokugawa, no matter how small the bud, it must be removed by various means. This caution is the 300 peace of the Tokugawa family. The reason. We support this prudence, and this is also our sin." "We are all sinners." During the Meiji Restoration period, the two power oppositions between the Zunwang Banye faction and the Samu faction each insisted on their own justice, value orientation and attitude towards the country. The conceptual conflict of the two can be seen between the lines. Various pictures and music are coordinated to show the sense of the times and historical pressure of the reform process at that time. The various treatments of the live-action version are too thin, and if the history is not thick enough, the love tragedy between Kenshin and Shedaba lacks the power to touch people's hearts.

Such a grand historical environment and the love tragedy of Kenshin and Shedeba must coexist, and the reason is an amplified conflict: sacrificing individuals in exchange for Japan's path to reform vs. the individual sacrifices that are mainly described in this article The resulting tragedy: sorrow in troubled times. But speaking of it, now we will support the Meiji Restoration from the standpoint of God. After all, this really allowed the Meiji government to develop independently. Such a change seemed necessary for Japan at that time. But on second thought, this is also the original source of Japan's development path towards militarism. So is the Meiji Restoration really a complete success, and how much relativity does it have in its justice? In particular, how should a person choose, which political force to join, and how many sacrifices to make when he is in a state of confusion before the historical process takes place. Overthinking is useless. So I think it is appropriate to reminisce about the fate and sins of people during the war that are repeatedly mentioned. Especially from the emphasis on the word sin, we can actually see the introspective reflection on war and certain anti-war thoughts in this article. This is invaluable.
