Zatoichi

For most law-abiding people who do not beat the blind and call the dumb, the existence of Zatoichi is obviously a comfort.
He can fight the lame and the ruffian, and he can understand grievance and despair. The sharp blade will slash the greasy neck of the bully, and the bright light of the blade will frighten the gall of the exploiter.
A movie is a dream, a dream of complaining and retaliating.
Unfortunately, after waking up from the dream, there are still master swordsmen who are attached to the strong, the lonely sister and brother betrayed their color and robbed their lives, and the weak and poor peasants are still unable to survive, and their homes are burned and their land is stolen.
It all goes on, the unseen boss walks among us, pours us soju, listens to our misery, and weaves a net through all the grievances.

    Takeshi Kitano's reshaping of Zatoichi's image is refreshing, and the madrigal dance steps and ending taps scattered throughout the film are also wonderful, but is there an organic connection between the two? In addition, the line at the end of the film, "Actually, when I open my eyes, I can't see anything." Like "Fly Man is the smartest animal" in Rhapsody of Gay Sex, which essentially reflects the embarrassment of the director's desire to be high and fruitless. 【7↑】

    I feel that this film is to Ah Wu what the judo dragon and tiger list is to Du sir, that is, the modern age with guns and tap dancing has already arrived, and I still have to play it as a sword and halberd film.
