A journey with the scent of sunflowers

It has been 12 years since samurai champloo ended, and 12 years are reincarnation. Unfortunately, I only watched this film last year, and I only feel very regretful why I didn't watch it earlier. I really like Watanabe's style so much, it's casual and comfortable, a journey that started inexplicably and ended so lightly and happily, without the sad ending of CB, SC is really lighthearted and happy. Feng, Wuhuan, Ren, and the cute Momonga, Watanabe's favorite configuration of two men, one woman and one furry, because the wind is obsessed with the goal of finding the Sunflower Samurai, and the journey ends after finding the Sunflower Samurai. . What a story that has no surprises from beginning to end, but it is full of surprises and encounters in the process. They meet all kinds of people, men and women, young and old, who get involved in the incident inexplicably, and finally solve the incident inexplicably. When watching the barrage, there are always people complaining that they have completely forgotten the purpose of the trip and are just walking around. But I think this is Watanabe's definition of travel, travel must have a goal, but no one stipulates that it must be unbiased toward the goal. Sometimes taking a detour to see what fun things are there is the fun of traveling. It's like walking through the maze, how can you get the treasure chest if you don't go through all the fork in the road? Of all the stories, the ones that impressed me the most were Fallen Angels and Walking in the Dark. The gentleness and kindness of the wife Zi Nai, and the firm eyes when she is determined to break up with her husband, coupled with the counting star, how can people not pity this woman and understand why Ren is tempted by Zi Nai. The tragic story of Sha Luo in the dark night road, and finally revealed the flaw on purpose to let Wuhuan kill himself, but it was only out of maternal love. Without a child, what's the point of being a tool of murder so recklessly with one's own life. In the last story, Watanabe seems to have thrown out a relationship similar to a "love triangle". When I watched it for the first time, I also thought very superficially, oh, so Ren likes wind; oh, so Feng likes Wuhuan; oh, so Wuhuan thinks that Feng likes Ren. In the end, when the three of them walked to three forks, they still felt that they would definitely meet again. But watching it again has a whole new feeling. Ren wants to go with the wind because he has found his own goal in the process of being with the wind. The object that his sword needs to protect. He has always been a person before, although powerful but without a goal, this journey has made him realize his goal and let him find someone who needs to be protected. As for Feng, it seems that the three of them are companions. It would be unfair for Wuhuan to continue the journey with Ren. But all this changed after the life and death cycle. Ren and Wuhuan started as chaotic warriors who had no goal but just swung their swords for themselves, and became warriors with a lord who needed to be protected. With a goal, even though they separated in the end, Unraveled my heart. As for the final outcome, what does it matter if the three meet again? The important thing is that the three of them got to know each other and walked together for such a long distance. They laughed and made trouble, cried and had fun, and finally parted ways because of different goals, which is natural. this is life. There is no need to be sad about the separation of the three. After all, Watanabe used a song as pleasant as San Francisco to ed, which means that the ending is happy, relaxed and beautiful. After all, there is still another journey waiting for them. Even without each other's company, it is enough to have this memory. Finally, I deeply cherish the memory of Nujabes. The bgm in this episode is really amazing, but it is a pity that Heaven is jealous of Yingcai, and I can no longer hear Uncle Niu's soundtrack. All the bgm in sc is worth a single loop. After watching this, I completely became a fan of Uncle Niu.

Samurai Champloo quotes

  • Mugen: When you point a sword at someone either you kill them or they kill you, there ain't no inbetween. So quit talkin' like a fuckin' pussy. Anyone who can't handle that should just SHUT THE FUCK UP and GET OVER IT!

  • Sara: What I can't see I can sense.

    Mugen: [stumbling, bleeding] What?

    Sara: Inside of you looms a simmering storm of hatred and rage, but perhaps what I'm actually sensing is sadness. It's as if you've never once been loved by anyone; it's as if you're just like me.
