Kitano Takeshi’s golden fluff, his cool gimmicks, including the film’s very contemporary soundtrack, decorating traditional martial arts dramas with current popular elements, we can appreciate Kitano’s stubbornness and creativity, just like the unexpected flashes in the film Like his cold humor, it seems random, but it embodies his inexhaustible talent and complex personality. The always cold image style is often disintegrated by sudden humor. This has been clearly shown in "Fireworks", death and warmth. Hand in hand to the end. "Zato City" is an old entertainment-oriented remake of an old film. The legendary story of a folk hero has an obvious element of pleasing the people. Therefore, Kitano missed the opportunity to sprinkle the rich humor with his personal characteristics, which greatly increased the interest of the film. . In order to get rid of the enemy's entanglement, the blind man Zatoichi closed his eyes and drew eyeballs on the lids to pretend to be a normal person. When the blind man Zatoichi fought against the enemy, he stared wide-eyed and pretended to be a normal person to add a bleak and murderous aura, making the enemy shudder. The blind man Zatoshi was walking on a country road where the moon star is rare, and he was almost tossed with a stone. Then he sighed helplessly with self-deprecating: "Although I try to keep my eyes wide open, I can't see anything." After an inadvertent stagger, the film ends. This time, there is no need to meditate on Kitano-style death philosophy. We happily entertained it.

    At the beginning, the final big party was brewing, and it broke out together at the end, so it was a bit boring. I will never watch Zatoichi-themed movies again.

    After watching this film for a long time, what I saw at that time was Takeshi Kitano's strong personal style. It still feels good
