long-lost chivalry

It's been a long time, because it's the second time to appreciate this masterpiece after many years - the new version of the cc repair, the picture quality has been improved a lot, but such a classic, revisiting it is not a technical innovation.
The reason why he is great is that he let me know that samurai is also a human being. Compared with Jin Yong's hero who lives in seclusion and far away from the market economy and spends his money in a small tavern, the latter is obviously much less dependent on reality. It is simply for the sake of white rice for three meals a day, and more importantly, a righteous character. The character depiction is very good. Although many Japanese samurai films are also striving to show kendo, but in my opinion, it is really clumsy than Chinese martial arts. Hei Dao I didn't shoot like this, and I didn't have too many kendo decomposition poses. Every fight was so appropriate. There were not many shots, but it brought a great sense of authenticity and strength. Interspersed with humor from time to time, the whole film still bursts with optimistic highlights on such a sad tone.
You can watch it as a commercial film, you can also watch it as a historical film, and you can watch it carefully for people like me who are lost in life exploration.
As said at the end of the film, this is undoubtedly another defeat. For farmers, they are the winners... I
think of a song, although it is not very appropriate, but it also contains a layer of meaning, Youke Li Lin's "If You Lose You Win" what about the world."
The review is really because this film is too great. It is recommended to watch Tsui Hark's "Seven Swords" together and give yourself a spiritual gap.
