There are many film and television works about Shinsengumi in Japan, but this film, which was born out of Yasujiro Tian’s novels, did not select those big figures and well-known legends who have survived in history. Yoshimura, an ordinary Shinsengumi member with intertwined contradictions and conflicts, became the epitome of the great changes of the era at that time. Because of poverty, he had to leave the domain to join the Shinsengumi, but he never gave up his samurai spirit; he was called a miser, but he did not stand on the side of money at a critical moment. The film adopts the technique of wanting to promote first and suppress it, which makes the feat of this little man even more exciting. The precious spirit of this ordinary person full of sincere emotions has moved countless audiences. The solid performances of powerful actors such as Nakai Kiichi and Sato Hiroshi and Hisaishi's moving music are also highlights of the film that cannot be ignored. The film won several awards at the annualザテレビジョンドラマアカデミーAwards.

In his twilight years, when Saito picked up the photos on the ground and muttered to himself, "I hate this man," he thought of Mozart's biography. From the plot point of view, the director did have the intention of shaping Yoshimura into an alternative genius. Geniuses are strong in martial arts/extremely intelligent, and alternatives are greedy for money and funny. Of course, the latter, who seems to be relegated, has to give an excuse that can be honored: just to support the family. However, the interpretation of this role is really open to question. The image of Nakai Guiichi is there, compared to the Shinsengumi Kondo Isamu, who is taller and handsomer, not like grassroots; therefore, those moments that turn sharply in the direction of poverty and greed are deliberately unnatural, almost alienating and self-deprecating, with knife wounds After judging that Saito is the real murderer, the scene where he instantly changes his face and locks the seal is the worst! In fact, the fundamental reason is still the same as Yamada's Qingbingwei series: Japanese movies in the new century always like to focus on low-level grass-roots warriors, but they don't want to abandon the martial arts of traditional sword and halberd dramas. , It is about to become a combination of Yinjiro and Tsubaki Sanjiro, Luda and Li Zhong. There are too many advantages and they are almost fake, and their characters are messy and difficult to unify.
