Chivalry is forbidden by martial arts

The remake is based on Kudo Eiichi's 1963 masterpiece of the same name, directed by Takashi Miike, the king of ghost and animal cult. Compared with the previous version, more space and shots are used to highlight Matsudaira Masaaki's cruel cold-blooded (played by Goro Inigaki), such as the brutal beheading and shooting of women and children; the ending of the small town ambush with 13 people and 53 riders Instead of confronting 13 people against 200 cavalry and 100 infantry, the enemy has turned 6 times!
My day, the knife has to be blunt! ! !
The last one to join the small town Ronin is changed to the Undead Savage of the Deep Mountain, the drama is increased, and the nonsense is increased.
The overall sense of violence has almost doubled, and the sense of impermanence of life and the reincarnation of karma is more prominent. I think that compared with the old version, it is a little overwhelming.
In addition, Goro Inigaki's cold-blooded performance was so admirable and outrageous. To add a digression, a monarch who is 1W more brutal than him has caught a lot in Chinese history, and there are few people who have acted for the heavens.

    It is more strategic than a simple action movie, and more murderous than a strategic drama; through the 13th Assassin and Shimada Shinsaku Eemon's comments on the samurai/shogunate heralded the end of the era. Masterpiece of Takashi Miike!

    This film explains very well what it means to fight in blood. Compared with the old version, this one removes a lot of the foreshadowing in the front, and puts the focus on the final battle array. It should have been cut for more than forty minutes. Various climaxes and various deaths are definitely visually good. Compensation, but now I don't like this kind of one death one sensationalism. What I look forward to in the new version is the wonderful action scenes and the killing of Sanchi. The mission is basically completed. One solemn and one entertaining is fine.
