"How long do you want to live?"
"I haven't thought about this much, I just need to implement my beliefs!"
The Ming Dynasty prided itself on the kingdom of heaven, and came to Japan not far across the sea just to find the elixir of life. The success of this film is that neither the Japanese samurai nor the Chinese soldiers are deified, but each has its own spring and autumn (this has a great awakening effect on domestic anti-Japanese films).
Is there really an elixir of life in this world? I don't know how many innocent people have died because of this untrue prescription. The final battle between the two foreigners was so free and easy, there was no reason, just to hone his swordsmanship, to seek a person with the same strength as his own, and to play against it. In fact, no matter who wins or loses in this competition, it is indisputable, the real focus is on the state of mind with the two.
"It is pain that makes one feel alive."
There seems to be this kind of pain shielding pill in the Ming Dynasty, every Chinese soldier in the film will take one to shield the pain. However, the protagonist Wuming and another foreigner disdain to eat it, even though their bodies are already scarred. If everyone's pain and emotions disappear, how can he still be a human being?
In general, this film is good. From the perspective of a foreigner, it perfectly avoids the conflict between China and Japan, and looks at it from the perspective of an outsider, not from its own perspective.
Always implement your own beliefs.
