In all fairness, this is a very good Hollywood movie. Not as good as a first-class fantasy movie, but at least not worse than Chibi. Chinese people can still make Chinese legends like that. I have to say that the director is actually very attentive. As long as you don't look at Yuki Shibasaki's weird makeup, Rinko Kikuchi's weird kimono, and many imaginary Japanese details that can be seen as an oriental person, this film still shows attractive Japanese culture. Besides, it's also a fantasy movie, just watch it, don't be so critical.
The reason why I'm not picky is that the music, characters, and beauty are all in place, at least it's a MV for Japanese cultural and historical scenery... and the film's excellent cast. Seriously, don't speak English, Chinese actors can't find such a cast even if they speak Chinese! Maybe Li Bingbing can barely compete with Shibasaki's sister? Can Zhou Xun play Rinko Kikuchi? I really can't find the rest. Although the English is reluctant, the pronunciation is clear and the emotion is rich, which does not affect their expressiveness. Even the supporting roles are like this, they are simply used to slap the face of Chinese movies.
Well, finally, let's talk about the last ten minutes that have been criticized. Obviously, the previous story was completely a Hollywood revenge + romance, but the last ten minutes suddenly took a sharp turn, giving a Japanese ending. In fact, from the beginning to the end, I can see the director's love for the Japanese Bushido spirit, and he is definitely someone who has studied Kurosawa Akira Kitano's films. The director wanted to express a series of oriental aesthetics and ethical themes such as honor, life and death, and reincarnation, but the result was that Hollywood beauties wore cheongsams, and their body curves were too exposed, which made them look bad. The American audience in the movie theater was basically beating their chests and feet to express their incomprehension, and I also suffered from internal injuries. After leaving the cinema, we began to complain: why is this! ! ! The final conclusion is that Japan is a country with extremely scarce resources, so a strict and inhumane order must be developed to comply with it. Anyone who does not abide by this order will lead to the destruction of society, so there are so many unreasonable systems in Japan. This is not a practical provision, but an authoritative order.
