If someone can say that Kimura is Kimura in everything he does after watching Samurai, I suggest that he change his retina. I really didn't expect the Great God's acting skills to be so good, I dared to underestimate the Great God, I was wrong. He has sealed his most lethal eyes as an actor and star (not completely sealed but used differently), plus his sluggish spirit, without changing his appearance or pretending to be ugly, his temperament is completely different, which makes me forget He is Kimura. Hong Kong, not many of my fans can do this, after all, a few of them are type cast.
I think the most difficult thing to play is not the emotion, but the temperament. If the temperament is right, the role is more than half successful. And the character's temperament is far from his own. I originally thought that the most difficult role for the great gods should be weak, pitiful and helpless; low self-esteem, self-doubt, and lowly people, but this role is not low, and all of them perform well.
To be honest, at first, I thought he was not suitable for the moon-shaped head in ancient costumes, it was a bit awkward, and the style of painting was not right. But after being blind, especially after knowing the truth, he really played a little samurai in a desperate situation to the fullest. It is very different from his acting on TV, very restrained and undercurrent. After sealing his eyes, I was amazed by his body language, able to make good use of his body to shape characters. The first layer is that he behaves like an ancient warrior, which is not difficult for him who has been practicing kendo since childhood. The second layer is that he really looks like a newly blind person, especially when using the sword, many small movements are like neural reflexes. I doubt whether he hypnotized himself? The third is that I can see emotions from his actions, and I rarely see the characters' personalities and emotions in action scenes. Not only in action scenes, in the film, when you look at the whole body through a telescopic lens, you can see from his posture and movements that he is either tense or depressed or struggling or grovelling or filled with righteous indignation. As an ancient warrior, the range of facial expressions is not large, but it makes the details of these limbs more obvious.
I remember Yang Dechang said that he likes to shoot long-range scenes and whole bodies, because this is the only way to capture the complete performance of the actors, and the close-up is just to see the face. He felt that Hollywood actors also deserved to have such long-range long shots and deserved to be trusted. Director Yamada still trusts God. But to be honest, in this film, the close-up of his face is more likely to strike me. His desperate eyes and expressions are really different from his own.
The only fly in the ointment is the lack of sparks with the heroine, which is probably not a problem in his other films. Maybe too much focus on yourself and lack of interaction. Although it is said that the relationship between the former samurai couples is not too tired, but they are too light, which also makes the movie almost meaningless.
Although my title is that Kimura is an acting school that is delayed by beauty, but then again, there are many acting schools, and he is the only national male idol in Heisei.
