I wish you were a painful stone

The film tells the story of a swordsman named Wuming, who cannot leave his homeland, and Taro, an orphan who lost his family.

The background of the story is set in an era of obsession with elixir. A group of people from a foreign land go to the land of Japan to find elixir of immortality. To this end, they have to hunt down the protagonist Zai Taro, and the swordsman Wuming accepts Zai Taro's "employment" for various reasons. "The story of escorting him back to his homeland is based on the main line of Wuming and Zai Taro, but the sub-lines of the local Japanese city lord and the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the past of Wuming and Luo Lang make the whole plot fuller. In the scenes of swords and swords, many things have quietly changed, just like the annihilation of the loyalty of the ambassadors of the Ming Dynasty, the changes pursued by Luo Lang, and the melting of the ice and snow in Wuming's heart.

In the story, the swordsman Wuming seems to be a heartless person on the outside, and only cares about whether he can get a reward, but in fact, he wanted to protect Tsai Taro from the beginning. There is no need to do so much for the money, it can only be said that he had kindness in his heart at the beginning, and the later days of getting along just discovered this part.

This film's mocking skills can be said to be on the rise. In the film, the Ming Dynasty came to take a "magic medicine" that can make people forget the pain. Come out, all kinds of ketchup and chopped limbs fly together, and the blood is funny to the point...but it's really just a very ironic color.

In the finals, although Wuming was seriously injured, he still refused to take medicine, he just felt that "it hurts to feel alive", and it was he who saw through the process that life is a process of continuous injury and continuous recovery, although he refused medicine , but I can deeply feel the existence of every cell, whether it is painful or good, it is my own, maybe the samurai's way is: solid as a rock, feel like a gossamer.

    Three and a half. Although old-fashioned, it is concise, and some of the passages are really well shot.
