"Zatou City" is about a legend. It seems that the head is a surname, the city is the first name, and the protagonist. It seems that he is a legend-knight.
Kitano has always been humorous, and he performed variously. This is no exception. Even the soundtrack is very comedy. Didn't pay attention to see whether it was his old partner Joe Hisaishi. It doesn't matter, anyway, there are three pieces of music in the middle that are fun. Farmers hoe fields, farmers sow seeds, carpenters repair houses. It's all the sound of Ding Ding Dong Dong.
There is nothing new in the story. They are all heroes and invincible, with a sword to seal their throats. It's just that the handling of hacking people is still very simple, and I don't bother to play tricks. Cut it down. You are dead. readily!
There are such characters in it:
a magical blind man, although he is dressed quite modern and his hair is dyed yellow. I can't recognize him as an ancient monk.
A pair of Yi Ji brothers and sisters for revenge. Is the role of the younger brother played by an actor?
A high-level samurai who was hacked to death by a blind man in order to buy medicine for his wife's medical treatment, although he usually slashed others with a single stab.
A fool, running around, rushing forward for his fool's dream. Wrestling from time to time, get up and continue to rush. Poorly stupid or cute.
A gambler. Stupid enough. The play that teaches villagers Kungfu makes me laugh.
There are also a bunch of supporting gangster villains who have been chopped off melons and vegetables.
In the end the blind man was still there for fun. No matter how big your eyes are, you can't see, you just can't see. Yes, no matter how fast you sword.
Kitano likes to spoof seriously, so I can only smile seriously.
