Samurai and Peasant
Jacklyn 2022-04-20 09:01:11
All the actors performed well. Not as heroic as a Chinese chivalrous warrior, but far more reliable. The Japanese are rigorous and good at analytical reasoning. Similar to Thirteen Assassins, maybe Thirteen is an imitation. The characters of Japanese samurai and farmers are portrayed to the core. Kikuchiyo is the most impressive, very comical, with its spirit and its flaws. In particular, he analyzed that the peasants were hiding food in their homes, and said that the samurai turned them into this. The analysis is very thorough and thought-provoking.
