I don't watch many Japanese movies myself, so "Rogue Ishikawa" brings a very special flavor! Perhaps this is the special feature of the Japanese nation that is good at absorbing and integrating!
In terms of production, the application of a large number of CG video special effects technology will undoubtedly bring the audience a very shocking and magnificent multi-dimensional experience in terms of audio-visual effects!
In terms of style, "Rogue Ishikawa" integrates two completely opposite Eastern and Western cultural elements into the lens, such as Roman columns, Western classical architecture, realistic-style stone carving backgrounds, and those with similar Western fantasy in the lens. Soldiers wearing horned helmets that are unique in the film and gorgeous modern characters are almost completely opposed to the traditional elements of the folk! Although when we look at these "combinations" of modern, Western classical and Eastern classical in one film with normal thinking, we will feel incredible! But it was the Japanese who had the courage to try it! These seem to represent where Japan is headed in that chaotic era! It is also from a historical perspective that the Japanese nation is good at learning, and is good at integrating Eastern and Western cultures into itself, creating a unique Japanese cultural system. Despite his madness and cruelty!
In terms of plot, "Rogue Ishikawa" boldly and exaggeratedly created a legendary Ishikawa story on the stage that adheres to the main line of history. I don't know how Japanese audiences will feel after watching this historical drama, but for For us who have been receiving serious historical education in China, it still seems a little incredible! Moreover, the character shapes in "Rogue Ishikawa" often appear to us Chinese at first glance, and the appearance of the position will be very obvious, such as the rogue Ishikawa representing justice, and the greedy and perverted desire of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. As well as the dark and wretched Sancheng, the Caizo who once had a pure samurai dream and finally shattered, and the real wily Tokugawa Ieyasu, etc., all reflect a strong Japanese flavor! Although my personal point of view is that they are not "stalwart" enough!
Finally, from the perspective of audio-visual language, "Rogue Ishikawa" is different from Hong Kong action movies in terms of action shots, which attaches great importance to the continuity of action. On the contrary, the visual experience he brings to us is more like the "static" shots of Japanese comics. It feels like every fighting scene in the movie can be broken down into perfectly composed still frames, as if the director had arranged it very carefully and deliberately! Therefore, in "Rogue Ishikawa", while using a lot of CG technology, it feels more like reading a moving "comic book"!
Combined with my own experience, "Rogue Ishikawa" is a movie, a gorgeous and splendid stage movie! I believe that my recommendation will allow more people to learn about the unique aesthetic culture of the Japanese nation through this film!
