Compared with the comics, the movie version is weaker

Miyamoto Musashi, as a real Japanese samurai on the stage of history, his legend has been filmed and written into a biography for more people to understand.

By chance, I saw Mr. Inoue Takehiko's painting "Rurouni" adapted from the original Japanese master Yoshikawa Eiji's "Miyamoto Musashi".

While the memory of "Slam Dunk" was evoked, he was also deeply attracted by Mr. Inoue's new work. Compared with "Guan", the maturity of the painting style and the narrative style with multiple methods like movies are a major feature of "Rurouni", and the few watercolors and brush paintings in the manga booklet show that Mr. Inoue is unusual Artistic attainments.

Out of the love of the manga hero, the movie "Miyamoto
Musashi" directed by Hiroshi Inagaki was brought out .

After watching one of the trilogy, I can feel the difference between the focus of the movie and the manga.

Although it all started with Miyamoto Musashi after the Battle of Sekihara, the manga added a lot of narratives to depict the misfortunes of Miyamoto’s childhood in the main narrative. It is also the palace of childhood. The sufferings he experienced made him a strong body and strong nerves. The power of body and spirit supported him to become Japan's greatest samurai. It's a pity that the careless handling of this part of the prerequisites in the movie was carried over with the hasty words of Youba and Atong.

As a samurai, kendo is definitely the first one, so playing is indispensable. Musashi, who wields a wooden sword and roars hysterically in the movie, is a far cry from the high-spirited Musashi in the comics. Perhaps this is the real person in people's minds.

There are also many differences in the plot, it can be said that each has its own merits. Comics rely on the psychological activities of the characters to highlight the changes in the characters’ emotions and personality; the movies need plots to highlight the characters’ individuality and promote the next step of development. One-sided narratives are superficial, causing some motivations to be confusing. For example, Musashi's final leave without saying goodbye was actually after some thoughts. The comics enlarged this part. After all, it was a little bit reluctant to separate from the beloved. Putting it another way, the handling of the movie can better reflect Musashi's determination to be "unparalleled in the world".

Tucao in the movie, when Musashi is surrounded by women's passionate love, his performance is really incompetent; Huang Shengyi is the reincarnated Atong.

    It's really rough, and an hour and a half is not enough to describe the transformation process of each character's understanding in detail, and each character arc is extremely blunt. Tragedy is indeed there, but it is based on traditional Japanese values, and it is difficult for ordinary audiences to empathize

    Mifune's appearance is really similar to the description in the novel
