The "Rurouni Kenshin" series is definitely a milestone in the Japanese manga adaptation of live-action movies. Although the sugar and martial arts instructors have given this series a lot of extra points, the director and the original author have worked hard on the screenwriting. Telling this story seriously is the sincerity of the crew and the reason for this series to gain popularity. Of course, the character setting and story layout of Nobuhiro Hezuki's original work are too excellent, and you should take a look when you have the opportunity.
The second brush is still immersed in the plot, and pays more attention to the times and characters. The whole series is very tense because it is full of various dramatic conflicts. I try to summarize it. The main points that impress me are the following:
We are all the gravel of the times
There is a saying: a grain of ashes of the times falls on everyone's head, and it is a mountain. In Japan before and after the Meiji Restoration, the gentry declined with the end of the shogunate's rule. This is the crushing of agricultural civilization by industrial civilization, and the damage of samurai swords by guns. Arrogant violence is rampant with absolute superiority. No one can survive the change of times. Many people can't see the future and don't know where to go. Fortunately, everyone has the only freedom left, and that is to choose their own creed. Kenshin chose, but no matter how brilliant a hero is, he will eventually have to call it a curtain call. Thanks to the director and screenwriter for giving him the ending he wanted.
life is worthy of awe
The reverse blade has witnessed the transformation of Jianxin, from ignoring the lives of a few people and trying to benefit more people, to insisting on not killing people and trying to redeem more people, and finally getting rid of the shackles in the heart and understanding that it is equally important to cherish your own life. From "The Executioner Draws the Sword" to "The Wanderer" Hiicura Kenshin, he stumbles and explores the road to the new world, and understands that life can be light or heavy. A new era that understands the weight of life, fears life, and respects life is the new era he wants to protect.
Different positions, but I understand
In addition to Kenshin and Xun who vowed to save people with swords, there are many groups in the film with different positions: "Police" represent the faction of the Meiji government, and the "Yu Ting Fan" where Cang Zi Acao is located, even if it is Zhi Zhixiong The real "reactionaries" are the products of the times and personal choices. They have different positions, and friends and foes may switch, but their starting points are similar: in a troubled world where life is so cheap, everyone wants to live and hope to live a better life.
Saito believes that Kenshin and himself are the same kind of people: live by the sword, die by the sword. The samurai order made the group of samurai disappear in the tide of history, but the spirit of Bushido with the sword in the heart did not disappear. The era of "even though you have a sword in your hand, it still needs to be fulfilled by God" has passed. There will always be a real "samurai", it can be you, it can be me, and we will overcome all obstacles in the "new era".
