Watanabe always likes this kind of story, a few people wandering and laughing while looking for the past and exploring the future. And his stories are always unclear about the future, and the past is also hidden, but he never forgets to spoof and does not forget to mix such and such elements, so that in the Edo period, hip-pop, street graffiti, and baseball leagues were brought to the fore. Offer together.

"Chowder Samurai" is not only a wandering journey, but also a wealth of popular trends, which makes people have to be stunned by Watanabe's pranks for a while, making you so happy that you get carried away, and even forget that this person is actually a sensational master Come on... So when Wuhuan fell into the ocean, and the scenes appeared in front of you, you were immediately stunned, silent.

They may have been wandering in the first second, still hungry for the idea of ​​having a meal with the king, and still clamoring to make people feel a headache or enjoyable, but why is the next picture like this? Why does Wuhuan lose consciousness and why is the sea so deep and the memories so long? What is Jen thinking? Why is he grilling the eel deep and shallow in front of his eyes? In fact, you know that Watanabe is still ill-intentioned, still carrying his blues style, but has been temporarily blinded by the illusion of spoof chowder. So in the next moment, I was completely stupid, the past without illusion of brother Ren's past, and the sorrow without illusion of brother Ren's warmth, just reminded people of one sentence:

My eyes, one looking at the past, the other looking at the present, there is no future.

After the story is told, the actors will call the curtain. And you, are you able to understand the so-called laughter with tears? Just like a lot of times, smiles and crying may not be real, but more often, softness must be able to invade the mind, awaken memories, and touch spirituality in an instant.

  • Shige: "There were men on top of horses and horses on top of men, piled one atop the other. The valley was laid open before the men. Its depth was great and wide. But the number of soldiers that died that day would line its two rock walls from side to side. Corpses stacked up to build a mountain of death and it gushed rivers of dead men's blood."
