Enjoy the stillness in late autumn and silence in winter.

The cartoon "Outlander: The Sword of No Emperor" is a work that belongs to the late autumn and early winter. The large-scale blockbuster thick cloud scenery similar to oil painting sets off the misery of the war and the chaotic era. The gloomy tones are mostly yellow-green mixed with ashes. Or blue-purple, the tough lines and rich expressions of the characters add a gloomy look to the icy painting style. If you watch it in summer, I am afraid it will have the effect of dispelling heat and dispelling heat.

The BGM in the fight at the end of the film is invincible and explosive (Shrimp directly searches for "Blade of Aliens"), the atmosphere is magnificent and the fierce action is really extraordinary. This kind of soundtrack has no sense of disobedience even when thousands of troops are fighting, heroic Besides, there is also tenderness. There is no emperor's blade, there is no sword edge of the protagonist, and it is only for the belief in the heart. As a martial arts cartoon dominated by men, sweat and blood are blended together, friendship is not divided between enemy and mine, just for pleasure. All kinds of weapons take turns to go into battle, and kill with the blade-wielding person.

What the hell are these two mustaches? ? ?

The film tells the story of the emperor of Ming Dynasty, in order to seek immortality, he sent people to find a little boy who had escaped to Japan for a hundred years. At that time, Japan was in a chaotic era of separatism. Although a huge sacrificial altar to perform secret spells was built as ordered, the local leaders and powerful generals who were eyeing for them were a great threat to them. The little boy Taro took his loyal dog Feimaru to escape all the way, and entrusted a ronin "No Name" who seemed to be addicted to money. How many difficulties and obstacles will he encounter along the way...

In fact, what I most want to complain about in this film is the Japanese dubbing when the Ming Dynasty people spoke Chinese. Thanks to these seiyuu, I have a great experience of listening to Chinese and having to read the subtitles to understand what it means. It happened that I recently watched a short video "How terrible is it for the Japanese to speak Chinese?" It was also a Japanese cartoon with Chinese dubbing.

In chaotic times, it is difficult for an individual to be alone, but when they form a group, they will be restrained by others. The film shows the status quo of ordinary people's lives without force value. To live well, there is only endless betrayal. Even the host in the temple is doing shameless activities in the name of protecting the Buddha. The expression on the expression of the monk Xiangan when he betrayed Tsai Taro just because he just wanted to live is definitely one of the most complex and vivid changes in the film: the momentary regret and pain are gradually replaced by the ecstasy of survival, and he knows his sins are deep. Under the contradictory psychology, he gradually became mad, and his eyes were splitting, and he longed for the meaning of life. He hanged himself and died after seeing the empty temple. Apart from the protagonist, he is the person who impressed me the most. At that moment, the complex human nature showed eternity in him. When he couldn't forgive himself, he committed suicide. Finally, he gave the Buddha an explanation.

The setting of a samurai, a child and a dog adds a lot of interest. The friendship between males who can throw their heads and shed their blood makes Wuming rush to collapse in the snowy night, and shout the name of Zaitarou in the group battle where the fire spreads. Such a tragic and honorable sacrifice has no regrets and no regrets, and with the beginning of a new life, it has cut off the involvement of the old days. Inexplicably thinking of Yin Sang in "Gintama", he woke up from a nightmare in the opening song and was lying on the grass, and the new Iori was having fun, and then continued to live a simple and stupid life.

In the film, two people with superb swordsmanship: Luo Lang and Wuming, one is painted with blond hair and blue eyes under the banner of the Ming Dynasty; one imitates a wandering warrior with scary red hair. . Two foreigners met opponents in a foreign country, and they fought heartily. One protected the person he wanted to protect, and the other fulfilled the regret of the world of Dugu. Two men who fought for their beliefs in their own hearts. Well, the place of the soul is the hometown.
