To say that it is completely based on the original comics, there is no such thing. There are minor changes in some details and the final ending, and the overall trend is the same. I am the most obsessed fan of the original work, and I am quite satisfied with Zhizhi Xiong played by Ryuu Fujiwara. In fact, I am also quite satisfied with Kenshin of Sato Takeru. The state of indifference in the comics is not among them, and it is very accurate. Generally, if you don't handle it well, you will only be cool. It was really unexpected for Fujiwara to play Shi Zhixiong. In fact, in recent years, Fujiwara is often seen in Japanese remakes of manga movies, and he is always the protagonist. I always hear that his acting skills are good, and I have watched a little of his famous drama "Shen Poison Pill", but after all, I didn't feel that it was that good. As a result, a Zhizhixiong is real, and it really shows me his strength. What does this show, it shows that I am still a layman. The other characters, Fukuyama Masaharu's Bigu Kiyojuro, although not as free and easy as in the original work, are also another kind of surprise. Just imagine that an actor who has always been very refined, suddenly changed his martial arts, it is really worth watching. Yosuke Eguchi's Saitoichi has nothing to say, and he has both skills. Of course, there are also unsatisfactory ones. For example, Sanosuke is not as handsome as the original book, Sojuro is not only as short as the original book, but his face is too different. Cang Zi found an aquiline nose and three white eyes to play, which is really too different from the original. The original Cang Zi is so handsome.
However, for the eternal theme of commercial films, I personally really dislike it. The eternal theme of commercial movies is that the audience buys tickets to enter the theater, just to be optimistic that good people will be rewarded, and heroes will definitely win such an ending. I remember watching the animation back then, Zhi Zhixiong was unbeatable, the last four people couldn't beat him, and Kenshin was always the underdog. I remember feeling emotional at that time, it turns out that the most powerful person, no one can destroy him except himself. In fact, if I were to explain this point of view, it would be easier for me to explain that people actually defeat themselves. So seeing Zhi Zhixiong being beaten so badly by Kenshin in the movie, I felt uncomfortable. It's really annoying to sacrifice the depth of the original for the pleasure of the audience.
But there are also things that movies do better. The overall background music is close to the sound of yoga background music, which reveals a message of healing. At the same time, in the movie, it is emphasized that Jian Xin has experienced too much and is too unhuman, and his heart has been detached from the realm of ordinary people, and he has died outside the body. Some people may think that this is a very high state, but personally think it is a very morbid mastery. The real detachment can improve the realm of a person's skills, and when Kenshin's swordsmanship encounters a level, it is obviously his own psychological problem. Bigu is right, it depends on a person's determination, and his heart is full of guilt, and his heart is full of guilt, and his heart is obviously not firm enough. Lu Xun once said that "ruthlessness is not necessarily a hero". I have heard that people who are too rational are very dangerous. I used to be quite confused, but recently I understand that being too rational and almost ruthless will make a person lose their emotions, and emotions. It is something that links people's conscious and subconscious levels. If a person completely loses the connection with the subconscious, it is a terrible fact. The subconscious does not disappear, it is only deeply repressed and forgotten. To a certain extent, an overly rational person is easy to be cold, like a robot. Therefore, according to Bigu's words, let Jianxin leave the state that seems to be very detached from reality and hostile to himself, face up to himself again, restore his human nature, love himself, and then have the power to protect others. Such a topic cannot be said to be grand. There is also a trend in commercial films now, that is, the integration of physical and spiritual content and plot.
Kenshin, who lives as a human being, is the one we want to see. Accept yourself who was a swordsman in the past, accept your deep guilt, and live bravely. Now I understand very well the hermit of Kiyojuro Bigu, who lived in seclusion to protect his heart. Maybe more selfish, from some standpoints. But under the grand perspective of history, all positions are insignificant. It's just a personal choice. Others have no right to talk about it. It's not easy to live, isn't it? you are not a fish, how to know the joy of fish. Instead of judging others, it is better to take care of your own heart and lessen the negative energy around you.
