Adapted from the most powerful samurai manga in history, "The Swordsman's Heart" depicts the sins and killings of the late shogunate restoration through the experience of "the executioner drawing the sword". I once mistakenly thought that this was a pure martial arts drama, but I did not expect that there were all kinds of blood and tears of villains, including the sins of the samurai male protagonist and the road to redemption, which contained many sorrows and joys in the world.
Kenshin Ayamura, who killed people with a reverse blade and was known for his "executioner drawing the sword", lived in the Jingu Dojo in the eleventh year of Meiji. He vowed not to kill again, but he did not expect that the enmity of the chaotic world would follow. Although the story is a boss mode, it is depicting the tragedy and helplessness of the sword heart and various characters in the chaotic world.
Master Biko Kiyoshirō once admonished to the point: "The sword is a weapon, a tool for killing" "Although the Imperial Sword Stream is a sword skill of hoeing the strong and helping the weak, if you devote yourself to the chaotic world, it can only be a killing tool used by politicians", and the story of Ayamura Kenshin, who does not understand politics, becomes an assassin for ideals and blood, which makes people understand that hope is beautiful, and reality is cruel.
From the beginning to the appearance of Sanosuke, the atmosphere condenses the revelation and contemplation of the killing of the new era. After Soraku (captain of the Akaho brigade) was executed by the Restoration government as a "fake officer", Sainosuke hated the Meiji Restoration government and attempted to overthrow it. It was not until he was defeated and awakened by the sword heart that he understood that the people needed peace and not war.
Zhi Zhixiong was a loyal killer who sold his life for the restoration and licked the blood of the knife, but the reformists were afraid that he would disclose the inside story of the killer, so they wanted to burn and kill him. So Shishio, who was covered in bandages, returned, under the slogan of making Japan strong, and wanted to build a world of survival of the fittest. He was blinded by hatred and ambition, so he died before he was paid, and lost in vain.
Shishio's apprentice, Sojiro, grew up in an environment where he was randomly beaten and scolded and forced to smile and greet others. And he accepts Zhizhixiong's view that "the world is the weak and the strong", so he goes to kill people and becomes an accomplice with him. In fact, this kind of thug does not understand human feelings at all, but only blindly obeys some conspirators.
Takeda Kanyanagi, who sold opium, roared and swept wildly with a rotary machine gun, so that Cang Zi's former partners were beaten to the flesh and blood in front of them one by one. If there were no sacrifices from the Imperial Court, no sword heart and no purple martial arts, I am afraid that no one would be able to resist. It shows that powerful force, if not in justice, is really terrible!
Once carrying a bloody past, the sword heart could not put down the sword to save people, no matter how many innocent lives he had killed. When he defeated Sojiro and Shishio was reduced to ashes with the green smoke, the red-faced confidant Ah Fu said "Welcome back, sword heart", which gradually made him feel the tender words of life again.
After all, he had seen too much blood and killing, and his face had a sword heart with a cross scar, and he would not hesitate to give up his life to draw a sword to help his friends, but at first he remained alienated from people, and his heart was full of guilt and helplessness. If Zhi Zhixiong is a metaphor for the scars of the chaotic world, the cross wound and the thin life of the red face Ofepa, it condenses the fate of the death in the bloody storm.
The story of "Reminiscences" is too sadistic and famous, because behind the romantic relationship between sword heart and Shedaiba, there is a hidden cruelty and dirty politics of The Way of Heaven. Snow Daiba wins the snow with a white coat, a blue folding umbrella to surprise the appearance, she is gentle and virtuous, understanding, taciturn, this enigmatic woman appeared around, once let the sword heart forget the killing.
On the surface, she said lightly, "I don't know how to laugh", but There is an unspeakable bitterness in Shedaiba's heart, and deep hatred makes her become a delicate marriage to sword heart. Pretending to be the "happy" time of the couple's life makes her fall in love with the enemy. "Except when it comes to killing people, Ayamura is too kind!" Seeing that Sword Heart was very good to the children around her, she began to give up the obsession with revenge.
She lost in too kind and naïve, thinking that telling the organization that the sword heart was the easiest to attack when it was sleeping, and she could retreat completely. Unexpectedly, he was already a pawn hostage in the conspiracy. In the end, when she was in danger, she blocked a knife for the sword heart, thus completing the debt of her life, and leaving a "sorry, husband Jun" last words to dispel the jade, making people think of it!
The Meiji Restoration, which was "at the beginning of the Restoration, everything is in ruins and awaits rejuvenation", seems to be a sign of Japan's rise, who ever wanted to sacrifice the happiness and lives of too many innocent people? The cross scar is the real maggot of the sword heart, and his hands are stained with the blood of thousands of people, but it is not until he reads the suicide note of Shedaiba that he realizes that he has killed her fiancé by mistake, and it is too late.
In the face of the bloody period at the end of the curtain, the executioner draws his sword and is a once fearsome terrorist killer, but he is kind and foolish in his bones! Therefore, after donating blood with his hands, he felt guilty and painful all the time, and unconsciously killed the love of his life by mistake!
I remember that my apprentice Yahiko once asked Kenshin, "Did we win, so we were right?" Jianxin replied, "Right or wrong, it is up to history to judge, all I can do is choose the path that I think is right, and then go down." ”
The most flattering goddess figure is Kaoru Kamiya, who is innocent and kind, warm and brave. She is as simple and infatuated as Shedaiba, but she is even luckier on the road of love. She had obsessively chased her to Kyoto to find the sword heart, preferring to be the second sheath of the opponent's sword, so that he could face the key forces of self and pain.
Without her, sword heart would probably continue to be a walking dead, and his reverse blade would not have crushed the same obsessive knife of the young Yukidai. After personally experiencing the pain of losing his sister, Xue Daiyuan was full of white hair and grief-
Keishi Otomo's director "Ronin Kenshin" was once on the ceiling of island action movies, the script adaptation did not exaggerate and magic changes, and the actors such as Ken Sato, Takei, Yu Aoi, Takashi Aoki, Yosuke Eguchi, Jun Arimura, and Teruyuki Kagawa all gave superb acting skills, and the action scenes designed by Kenji Tanigaki were also breathtaking.
The real and wonderful sword slashing and slashing let people see the so-called "realistic version of the Flying Heavenly Sword Stream" on the big screen. At the same time, there are classic famous duels such as sky swords, tooth protrusions, and heavy machine gun sweeps. That kind of fancy tense and sharp fight makes people dazzled, which shows that Warner Bros. is very meticulous in the shooting of Japanese local IP movies.
Back in the plot, Kenshin Ayamura, Yukidaiba, Kiyosato, Yukiyo, Shishi Saito, Sasuke, Cangzi, Shishi Yuo, Sojiro, and others are all outcasts of the new era at the end of the shogunate, but each has its own tragedy and pain.
Their positions and beliefs are different, some people are killing on a wild basis, some people are involuntarily self-defeating in their sins, some people are turned into cannon fodder and die tragically, some people live with shadows, and each living character is like a microcosm and metaphor behind the political struggle war.
Kenshin can take his wife and children with him, and hope that Yahiko who will get out of the predicament grow up to be a talent, and the new era of Wei will also come! The country has never been stronger? What about the fox ghosts that died in the war? The lives of the dead are like grass! The live-action version of "Ranger Sword Heart" can push up the "ceiling" reputation, has a solid foundation for the original story of Tsuki Shinhiro, and the behind-the-scenes pusher shooting is also very rigorous.
Through the different choices of the small people in the chaotic world in the face of evil and hatred, the film restores the intriguing tragic redemption, which shocks the audience's heart and makes people unforgettable for a long time.
