Under the darkening sky in the evening, the earth was completely white, and endless snowflakes were falling. Kenshin and Tomoe were walking by the river.
"It's almost there." Kenshin was walking in front, wearing a bamboo hat and carrying a basket of medicine on his back: "This is the last shipment this year." Tomoe was wearing the iconic plain white kimono and a purple shawl, without wearing a bamboo hat. He just held it in front of him and followed Kenshin step by step.
"Next time I sell medicine, I have to wait until the snow melts. If my current life can last until next year." Kenshin said calmly.
It has been a long time since their reformist stronghold was taken away, and the two of them lived in seclusion in a mountain hut. During this time, they have been living together as a couple and living by selling the medicinal materials they grew. Now is the scene of them returning from selling medicine. .
It must be that the weather was too cold and he had been walking in the snow for too long. Ba's body couldn't hold on anymore, his face turned pale, his legs were weak, and he stumbled and sat down on the snow.
Tomoe gasped and struggled to stand. Although Kenshin walked in front without looking back, he seemed to be paying attention to Tomoe at all times. He stopped and turned around, reaching out to Tomoe on the ground: "If you don't hurry up, you will catch a cold." Tomoe stared blankly. He stretched out his hand, and the scene in front of him seemed a little blurry, and he said again: "Me."
"I'll protect you," he said. Ba's eyes were shocked, as if a white crane suddenly flew up from the calm lake water, and the water was stirred and could not calm down for a long time.
...This is a scene from the SP version of the Remembrance Chapter. It was cut off in the original movie, but Mizuna Hayato deliberately kept it.
As I have said before, the SP version and the movie version have their own merits and different focuses. The SP version describes the emotions of Kenshin and Tomoe to the extreme, using many beautiful pictures and intentions to hint at the development of their emotions. This scene It is a hint that Tomoe's heart is completely shaken, and his love for Kenshin has overtaken his hatred.
But one of the great advantages of the movie version is that many of these
The "ambiguous" scenes were deleted. While describing the love between the two and Kenshin's past, he also did not forget to flesh out the entire historical background story, telling the story of Kenshin's great career and love as Battosai in such a turbulent era. disputes between them.
This choice is not difficult to understand, because the remembrance chapter is the last film in the "Rurouni Kenshin" series to be released. It is a supplement and conclusion to the entire series, so more attention will be paid to the background of the story and whether it can fit in. The entire series of movies.
Although the SP version is excellent and can be called art, the film adaptation is more in line with logic and the situation at the time.
After having excellent original works and excellent adaptations, you can still find your own way and complete the ending of the entire series. This is a major reason why the live-action movies in previous lives can be successful.
When we first started filming the Reminiscences, Hayato Minakami was very ambitious and wanted to do something literary and artistic, so he spent a lot of time shooting real scenes, planning to copy this and that to create a film that had the advantages of both the SP version and the live-action version.
The "water version" is out. He did this until the end of the previous stage of filming, relying on coaxing the eldest lady to be good, spending the budget wildly, and shooting whatever he wanted.
But after he participated in Hirokazu Kore-eda's
After the "Master Class", he suddenly realized that a good movie needs to be subtracted. So he postponed the final stage of filming. This deletion and modification took a long time.
So the question is, why did he still not give up the full-featured image above after deleting, deleting, and revising it?
What about the "ambiguous" suggestive shots? The secluded life of the two in the movie version of the previous life only lasted thirty minutes. Is this scene really so good that it had to be included in those 20 minutes?
,actually not. From Minakami Hayato's point of view, the most classic scene of Kenshin and Tomoe's seclusion is the snowy night when the two had a heart-to-heart relationship...ahem, after all, it was the scene where they became a real couple. As long as there is enough foreshadowing, the rest can be easily brushed off. Not big.
The reason why Minakami Hayato still didn't do the subtraction has to go back to when he went to Kujo's house during the New Year's holiday.
While chatting about work, he talked about the movie he was filming. Don't say that wealthy people look down on actors or something like that. Everyone needs entertainment. Everyone loves to watch excellent works. Hayato Minato's talent is not just for business. This is unanimously recognized by the Kujo family.
He mentioned about
The tangle of "subtraction" and redoing the shooting plan made his future father-in-law laugh.
"Since I can't figure it out, why not take pictures of them all? It doesn't cost much."
"Yes!" Mizuna Hayato suddenly woke up. Hirokazu Kore-eda mistook me! He was actually deceived by the film master and forgot his most important principle in life - I want them all!
Since he can't choose, why not shoot them all? As for the subtraction, he can just wait until the editing time to make a decision. If the content that cannot be edited into the theatrical version, he can also re-edit it and play it on the S station. A passionate A version that focuses on historical background and battles, and a love version that cuts out all the scenes of Kenshin and Tomoe getting along!
If it really doesn’t work, try another one.
"Director's Cut Ultimate Edition", extended, extended, extended, fucked for six hours! Finally, each version will be released on Blu-ray DVD, and there will be a collector's edition that includes all versions and limited poster peripherals!
In this way, both he and the fans will be satisfied. That night when he was describing the future blueprint to the eldest lady, he was punched by her. It was probably because the work she liked was so full of money that it made her feel uncomfortable, but even she couldn't ignore it and could see it. The temptation to read so many versions of the memorial.
So after a short period of time
"Confused", Hayato Minakami once again announced that not only would he not reduce the shooting plan, but he would also add a lot of shots and quickly restart the final stage of shooting.
On the other hand, the reminder from his future father-in-law not only made Minato Hayato reflect on what happened when he was making movies, but also affected his thoughts on other things.
Ever since the eldest lady took him to Kujo's house for the first time and made an engagement, his heart seemed to have become a lot more chaotic without him paying attention. This was mainly reflected in his attitude towards the actresses, which was no longer as usual as before.
"Offensive". I just manage time by wandering among my current confidante and enhance the relationship between them. For others, such as Horikita Maki, before that night in that hut, they would have done one thing first and then another.
He even thought of Yui Aragaki, although he boasted that his attitude towards her was...
"Don't take the initiative and don't refuse", but thinking back to when we first worked together, he often took the initiative.
"Teasing" others. Yes, he admits that
The "teasing" was because he wanted to see her unlucky, but he calmed down and asked his LSP heart, could it be that when he and Yui Aragaki kissed, he could only think about metaphysical relationships?
"I've woken up!" Mizuno Hayato said seriously. Horikita Maki looked down at her little feet that were caught, with a strange expression on her face: "What did you realize?"
