Takeshi Kitano, who was born martial, should have had enough addiction in this film. From the perspective of the story structure, the plot of "Zatoushi" is simple. The blind man eliminates violence and peace along the way, encounters various poor or unfortunate people on the way, and finally the contradictions gather and merge. Gangs are the source of evil, and the blind man can handle it alone. But the more obvious the story is, the more it is necessary to get rid of impetuousness and interpret it calmly, so as to exude a simple and traditional atmosphere.
The cool and neat fighting of the ancient dragon style is a highlight. Takeshi Kitano's role in such a role can be described as tailor-made, and he is familiar with it. In addition to fighting, he is a kind and wise old man. He helps people chop firewood and gamble for money. When he encounters a fallen scarecrow on the road, he will take the trouble to pick it up and put it away. It can be said that he is very friendly. The whole film is sunny, accompanied by cheerful dance and rhythm from time to time, from which you can feel a very ancient thing, a positive attitude towards life.
But what fascinated me even more was that the film realized people's yearning for martial arts. Apart from the blind man, the biggest symbol, the mentally handicapped boy who has been running around the house and longing to become a samurai, the bastard who is sure to lose every gamble and has nothing to do, but still teaches people martial arts with a wooden stick in a serious manner, and who once lost in the martial arts arena The samurai bodyguards who have the ability to kill people who have insulted themselves after being unwilling to do so reflect the author's yearning for martial arts; no matter what kind of person, there will be a potential dream in their heart: to become a warrior. Famous warriors with high martial arts, wandering around the world, fighting swordsmanship, how happy!
