This can be said to be a movie against the "samurai" spirit. It does not have the spirit of patriotism and loyalty that many other samurai themes emphasize, but instead depicts the ordinary life of a lower-level samurai in detail. He has his own ideas about things, is loyal to his friendship, and is loyal to his family. In order for his friends to take action without hesitation, when he encountered the task given to him by his family, he repeatedly shied away. Personally, I think that in many works that deify warrior spirit, he is more like a real warrior. Didn't accomplish any earth-shattering feats, and wasn't even a materially successful person. However, who can deny his spirit of being able to maintain himself in a poor life? Unlike many ignorant and loyal samurai of his time, he has the ability to think for himself and do what he thinks is right. Although he is sometimes forced by form, he is still an independent person. He and Pengjiang, his childhood sweetheart, are really a good match, and Pengjiang will do what she thinks is right. In that era of unequal status of women, she did not abide by such a system of etiquette and law, and she is also an independent person. I like this movie very much. It tells the story of an ordinary samurai in a bland way, but after watching this movie, I feel particularly comfortable with the ending song, Jue め ら れ た リ ズ ム.
