From the perspective of emotional performance, it is not as profound as the friendship in the first part. Of course, the name of this part is Death or Love, and the focus is on love. It is true that this one uses a lot of pen and ink on love, but it is not as profound as the first one.
So overall, it's not as good as the first one. If I watched this one first, I'm afraid I wouldn't be interested in watching the sequel.
The best part and the worst part of the whole film all appeared in the last ten minutes. I had waited for a long time for this fierce battle of hundreds of people, but it suddenly stopped, as if I was scratching halfway, and I greeted the director and his relatives. .
But the most classic scene is also here, Azumi finally completed her mission, killed the enemy leader and was about to leave, Kanbei asked her: where to go, Azumi didn't answer, stopped for a while and continued walking, Kanbei looked like To himself: Where are we going?
Confusion is perhaps the biggest theme of this film.
I like Aya Ueto (the female lead) here, always with a hint of sadness, but there is firmness in her eyes.
