A lack of detail: why do assassins as professional samurai go to the enemy in the flesh?

A well-prepared ambush, even gunpowder, bows and arrows were used, but I forgot one thing . The combat in the age of

armored

and cold weapons is not the current hooligan Rush. Wearing armor is a must for

troops that do not even have basic protective equipment. In "Seven Samurai", Kikuchiyo

excitedly took out the armor collected by the villagers, and the rest of the samurai were reluctant to wear it because of disgust

. Wearing armor

and even going to the modern Shinsengumi group,

the assassins who set out to attack people in armor and fight far less than the other side, actually went into hand-to-hand combat in civilian clothes. It is unreasonable

to guess that the director deliberately wanted to make it into a plasma film.

    The film is average, far worse than the "Seven Samurai". The content is not enough. Takashi Miike wanted to shoot a seven samurai with his own style, but his brain was not deep enough. The first half is better than the subsequent massacre.

    Whether it’s the tension in the front drama or the group frame in the back, it is a very qualified ancient costume martial arts film.
