When the filming was announced in 2019, I began to look forward to it. In 2020, the epidemic schedule was greatly extended for one year, and the release in 2021 encountered the peak of the epidemic again. In a hurry, Dongbao sold the two final chapters of Kenshin to Netflix, and they were released by Netflix overseas. After waiting for two years, it was finally officially launched on May 5.
As a fan of the Kenshin series, I personally have high hopes for this final chapter, but maybe it is too high, and I am actually quite disappointed after reading it. The fourth film was filmed, and the director Otomo Keishi still made no progress. The shortcomings of the first three literary dramas are still long, and the fourth film has a lot of shortcomings when the text itself is thin. The good part is still Tanagaki. The action scenes designed by Kenzhi, and Kenshin's interpretation by Takeshi Sato, the bad part is the rigid narrative itself.
"The final" is the end of the series, and the sequel is continued after 7 years. It is definitely a success in terms of feelings. Watching Sato Takeru return to play Jianxin again, Aoki Takataka, Eguchi Yosuke, Takei Saki, Aoi Yu, and Tsuchiya Taiho return to play again. The same role, it is simply a small concert party. However, the narrative itself is extremely rigid, straightforward, and lacks a sense of climax construction in terms of commercial films. The grievances and grievances between Kenshin and his brother-in-law Xuedaiyuan are actually very simple revenge stories, but Otomo Keishi's filming is long and long, and these long and long plots in the middle are not used to deepen the audience's resonance with the characters. People think it is a lifeless pretending to force the inner drama.
Interspersed with the plot of "Reminiscence" is a clever operation, allowing the audience to understand the origin of the cross scar, so as to prepare for the revenge of the people who are about to sweep. But interspersing too many memory clips will only further highlight the thinness of the text of "Ren Zhu Pian", and the excessive explosion of "the beginning" that will be launched next. Kenshin Sato returned to the same role after many years, and he was still the familiar Kenshin. Of course, it goes without saying that the interpretation of the inner drama that made a comeback in the past, but also because the script is too rigid, so the growth of Kenshin in the final chapter is actually not great. Many people feel that he finally faces his past, and the sense of giving up his life to save Xiaoxun is not fully highlighted.
The surprise return of Sojiro, played by Ryunosuke Shenmu, is the highlight of the third act. The action scene of the 3rd reconciliation between Yukio Yuki and Kenshin is still the best play of Kenji Tanigaki. The action scenes are wonderful and neat, and the tricks are fierce and powerful. Look. Yukino's longing for her sister and her anger against Kenshin can resonate with Otomo's long shooting method, but compared to the construction of Yukino, the villain of the 2nd and 3rd episodes, Zhi Zhixiong, is actually constructed by more three-dimensional. "The Final" is also full of the imitation effect after Zhi Zhixiong's death. The old era is over, and the new era is coming. Those samurai who have been eliminated by the era have become the ghosts of Zhi Zhixiong, constantly looking for the executioner sent by the era: draw the sword Fast revenge.
The scene of Tsuchiya Taifeng is definitely the most pleasant part of the whole film. After returning after 7 years, it is a pistachio when he debuts. The martial arts are neat and cute and shy. Light mature girl, the action scenes are really handsome and explosive! Is she more like a heroine than Takei Saki? Now I'm only worried about whether the key "Remembrance" will be more lengthy. Of course, if it's poetic, I won't care. The clip of "Remembrance" interspersed in the middle of "the final" made me want to cry, the clip of killing Ba in the snow, the picture is bleak and beautiful, I hope "Remembrance" can win my evaluation of the series again.
