Phenomenal cartoon theatrical version, after its release, it shattered all the box office records in Japanese film history set by "Spirited Away" and "Your Name". Even passers-by audiences like me who have never been exposed to the TV version as a foreshadowing, also watch it. Must be quite invested!
The choreography and design of action scenes has always been the absolute strength of Japanese fighting cartoons, and it is highly recognizable. During the duel between good and evil, the solemn vocal BGM, the expressions of anger on both sides of the fight, combined with the dazzling camera cuts, quickly ignited the soul of the two-dimensional martial arts and the emotions of the audience...
The wonderful burst of action sections can only be considered half the success of the film. The timely addition of literary and drama parts makes the overall rhythm of the film more relaxed.
The story of a man-ghost fight is novel and uncomplicated. On the one hand, the film has designed differentiated fighting skills for several ghost-hunting characters, on the other hand, spent a lot of pen and ink to outline their very different inner worlds and personal experiences (I have seen the TV version of ghosts. Destroyer fans definitely resonate with this part) ….
The director used the pure and beautiful memories of the quiet past years to set off the bloody reality that the characters had to return. The image of the ghost hunter character is also more colorful and fleshy.
At the end of the film, the human-ghost battle was brutal and tragic, and the muscles were tense throughout the whole process. The ghost hunter, Xing Shoulang, fights the ghosts, and finally runs out of blood. When he was dying in battle, the illusion of his mother, accompanied by the kind teachings from his childhood flashed before his eyes, the picture was warm and pure, soothing and calming the soul of the warrior...
This sad scene turned steel into softness around the fingers, gently tapping in the audience's heart, enough to make the audience's tear ducts burst!
I can completely imagine the situation where countless Japanese audiences first burst into tears, then burst into tears, and then broke through the box office.
The stronger the ability, the greater the responsibility. For the strong, protecting the weak is not a choice, but a responsibility they must shoulder!
The passion and inspiration conveyed by Japanese films will never be limited by subject matter, era, or age.
highly recommended!
