That's how it is with the law. It's a very simple story, and it tells nothing more than a series of struggles and emotional disputes between male samurai under the shogunate's name in 1865. Emotional disputes seem to be inaccurate. Just like the most popular girl/boy in European and American colleges and universities, there are always admirers around. In this sense, it is an instinctive pursuit of beauty and fashion.
Nothing to do with love. No one can really understand Garner's heart from beneath his handsome exterior. However, the 150-minute film length and many characters in the show are not the theme and content of the film to express the inner world of the young Garner. It's just that the script places such a universal level of humanity under a specific historical period and background, so it proceeds in a direction that is conducive to the development of the story.
There are always some factors and laws that influence the world. Garner is not the legendary Narcissus. He is in a scene full of power struggles and sectarian disputes like the shogunate, and the only thing he wants to do is to survive.
As the saying goes: a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier. As a swordsman with outstanding swordsmanship, if you want to gain a foothold in the Shinsengumi, the first thing you need is to survive in it. Good looks are a total burden to Garner.
There is always an inevitable comparison between passionate young people. And how do you quench a man's thirst when there's no woman involved?
So naturally, he turned his attention to the beautiful young Ghana. Tashiro, senior brother Yuzawa, and a lot of colleagues in the Shinsengumi group joined in such a game to compete for the wind and jealousy, just because of its popularity. Even the lieutenant general played by Takeshi Kitano didn't know it. In fact, his focus had already been on a handsome man like Ghana.
Owning is not for love. It's just a way of proving its existence. But there must be a sense of proportion, that is, the Xinxuan group cannot make the wind of broken sleeves and dragons prevail because of the existence of Ghana. From the perspective of the general environment, this is quite unfavorable for the development and growth of an army. Therefore, Yamazaki planned to introduce a woman to Ghana to make his life normal, which naturally led the sergeants of the Shinsengumi and the entire Tokugawa shogunate to return to a normal track. Just backfired.
Garner misunderstood what Yamazaki meant, believing that he was tricking him into doing something wrong by introducing prostitutes. In a team, the most popular guy will always unconsciously become the focus of others' attention, so, we can only be careful everywhere. But what wasn't expected was the riot that followed Ghana's rejection of prostitutes, and the sudden event that pushed the movie's storyline to a climax.
Tashiro and Garner were manipulated to kill each other, and even longer ago, even Yuzawa's killing, despite Garner's resentment for having a reluctant physical relationship with him, was to a greater extent by an invisible hand. Yuzawa and put the blame on Tashiro. There are so many things that people need to give up in order to survive in the big environment, and not everything can be given to Yuanyou.
Wrong plus wrong. If things could be seen in black and white, right and wrong. Garner stabbed to death the framed Tashiro as a last resort, but from the "forgive me" he muttered, he was forgiven by Tashiro, who was destined to die under the sword of Garner. Okita, who is very close to the Vice Admiral of Earthquake, just said, "I will remember that I have something to do" and then turned to leave. At this time, I guessed that the ending of the film will be a great tragedy: all people will be in some form. Somehow come to the end of life.
Sure enough, in the seventh year of the establishment of the Shinsengumi, the entire army was annihilated: Hijikata and Ghana were killed in battle, Okita died of illness, and Kondo was executed. What impressed me was not these, but when Hijikata learned that Okita was going to kill Garner, he chopped down a cherry tree with his sword and shouted: Devil, Devil, Devil!
It's just that I don't know what the devil is referring to in the mouth of Tufang. Whether it is the beauty of Ghana, the series of disturbances caused by beauty, or the trajectory of people's instinct to bring themselves to a specific destiny, only a breakthrough point and an opportunity are needed. I don't even know if the Turkish side is willing to see the truth clearly, or would rather all this never happen, Ghana doesn't exist, can it really not happen?
