A film with a strange atmosphere.
Very sad, very coquettish, very heavy.
When I first read it, I was confused and didn't understand at all. So look again. So far only a little bit of understanding.
Matsuda Ryuhei is not bad. The color is more than enough, if it can be more delicate, especially the baby's fat cheeks. Takeshi Kitano, there is nothing wrong to pick. If I have to say it, it is too much contrast with the comics. silent.
The best is Shinji Takeda. (I really like him in [Fireflying Light]) I
thought it was too influenced by the comics, and I would never accept any live-action version except for the photo of the director himself. Still too early to draw conclusions. After seeing Shinji Takeda, the image of the chief secretary in my heart came alive. The brisk tone, the unchanging smile, and the deep sadness in my heart... Takeda is really good at acting. Although it is only a supporting role, but after a few neat scenes, all the characters should have.
I was very impressed with the scene where Chongtian was still playing with the stones with the children by the river, sitting there with his bare feet and smiling with a childlike face, and later joked around with Tufang indiscriminately, so mischievous that no one could see what it was. Pick up the knife and become the devil's executioner.
He is never afraid of earthwork, speaks indiscriminately, and even accuses the other side without hesitation. Under the brilliance and mischief, there is a heartbreak that can never be cured.
Such a general manager was actually completely performed by Takeda Shinji without a trace.
Looking at his hair like that, wearing that kind of clothes, and walking like that, Mr. Okita came out just like a small figure.
This is one of my favorites in this movie.
At the end of the story, Hijikata realizes that what Ghana likes is actually Okita... How much does Okita understand? Had he not been bewitched by Garner? Did you guess that Garner likes him? He just smiled and left the sentence "I will remember that I have something to do" and turned to leave... The rest of the film is left to our imagination: Garner saw Okita who was walking back, and was greeted with a smile, but was killed by Okita. .
We only heard Garner's last gentle cry "Okita さん..." and the subsequent screaming of the sword.
At the same time, the earthwork cut off the cherry tree in front of him, and the fallen flowers were colorful. The music is on again. Desperately beautiful.
Although I feel the distorted and decadent atmosphere, I am still deeply fascinated by its coquettishness and beauty. Whether it is the people in the play or the audience, there will probably be similar resonances. In my heart, I wanted to scold or regret, but I couldn't help but want to be madly intoxicated.
Classic movies are like this, you always have to struggle with the ropes that bind you.
By the way, Okita read "The Alliance of Chrysanthemums" and said that he is not good at this, but just likes beautiful stories. If you hate men with men, how can you appreciate the beauty of stories? Of course, I still don't think Okita meant that to Garner, but since he thought the story was beautiful, it was out of a similar mood to ours.
I don't want to write more about the characters and the plot, because I really understand it relatively plainly. And those simple things, I think many people have written similar.
