Minato Hayato watched the movie very calmly this time, with his arms resting on the armrests and his palms resting on his own legs instead of the legs of the person next to him.
The main reason is that after the first row is occupied by the creative team, the second row behind them is occupied by all Stargaze members.
As planned, the second day of the premiere was Stargaze's first big party, and it was also the day when their future route was decided.
But before that, they can enjoy the movie Minami Hayato.
On the big screen, after the opening credits representing Stargaze production, the words "Supervisor Minakami Hayato" also appeared on it. The audience was also looking forward to seeing "Himura Kenshin" who has no faults except being too tall again. .
From the beginning, it is still the "first move" style of Hayato Minato. The first part opens with a battlefield, and this part also has a fighting scene in the dark, and then a fire breaks out, which highlights the theme of the movie. , also allowed the audience to see the big boss of this and the second part for the first time - Zhi Zhixiong Zhen.
Like the original movie, Hayato Minakami has Saito played by Yosuke Eguchi appear on the stage to confront Shishio for the first time, and he also performs the first action scene.
When many viewers saw this, they just felt that the scenery in the second part was more realistic and heavily reprinted, including the blazing flames, crumbling wooden buildings, etc., which were restored to the extreme. In terms of action scenes, they just felt "cool" "Character.
The action is sharp, and there are many people under siege without appearing chaotic. "It is worthy of Mizunizun-kun's action scene." This is what most people think.
But film critics who are more sensitive to movies see many differences.
Tanaka Kozo is one of them. He wrote this key point in his notebook:
As a director, Hayato Minato has only filmed a few movies in total. Excluding those where he was an assistant director, his growth trajectory can be clearly seen. The first movie was based on the action drama skills he brought over from his previous life. Most of them used real scenes and actual combat. He attracted many audiences and became a rising star among commercial directors that the whole Yingzhou is looking forward to.
The second part is a key work in which he controlled the "rhythm", including the special effects production of blowing up the Rainbow Bridge, as well as the special effects of building collapse and real shots of explosions. He began to use film and television special effects.
The third film is his masterpiece in using special effects in movies, such as the wave of zombies coming from the waves, which is not inferior to those of the same period. At the same time, he also has a greater appetite for real-life shooting - he directly blew up a Shinkansen.
If it looks like this, it seems that Hayato Minato is becoming more and more fond of big scenes. Maybe the follow-up may be like the series and start to crash into sports cars and even planes.
However, in this movie, he limited the scenes and used special effects in the fighting scenes. He used special effects such as wind, fire, and air waves, plus the actors' carefully rehearsed movements, to transform what was originally only a comic The scene moved to the big screen of a live-action movie.
Is it because the subject matter limits his performance in big scenes? No, maybe this is a reflection of him learning to make choices.
Although he had just watched the beginning, Tanaka Kozo began to look forward to the next two parts. He felt that he could find evidence of Hayato Minakami's growth again from these three consecutive films.
Daily scenes have been played on the screen. Kenshin went to watch a drama with his friends. Some happy scenes made the whole theater burst into laughter. Tanaka Kozo also had a smile on his face, but the reason for the smile was different from the others. The audience is different.
He leaned back on the seat with contentment, glanced at Hayato's position on the first row, and raised one corner of his mouth:
...
Although The Great Fire of Kyoto is a chapter that connects the past and the next, it does not mean that Hayato Minato is fishing in troubled waters for a movie, nor does it mean that this movie alone is not good.
For the foreshadowing of the big boss Shishio, after determining the main plot, encountering Soujiro begins to like the protagonist's defeat, and then upgrades equipment to prepare for revenge.
One of the climaxes is Kenshin's first battle after upgrading his equipment.
After his reverse blade was cut off by Soujiro, he found the son of the original blacksmith Arai Akakora, only to discover that the original reverse blade was not the best "real hit".
"Shin Hit" is enshrined in shrines according to tradition, which represents dedicating the best things to the gods. According to the traditional shonen walking method, the protagonist obtaining "Shin Hit" here is an upgrade. At the same time, he will also encounter difficulties and Enemy - Sawashita Tōharu.
Sawashita Jouchi is one of Shishio's "ten swords". He likes hunting swords. He came here because he wanted to get the "real sword" of the reverse blade sword. For this reason, he also kidnapped the child of Arai Akakora's son. Kenshin wanted to He regained the child and fought with him in front of the shrine. In the end, Kenshin obtained the reverse blade and completed the counterattack.
As an aside, the famous craftsman Akakora Arai does not seem to have a high presence in this movie. He only appeared for a short time in the memory when he gave away the Kenshin Reverse Blade. However, fans of the original work know that, He is everywhere in this movie.
The protagonist's reverse blade sword, the big boss' infinite blade, as well as the elite monster's continuous blade sword and thin-edged nodachi are all the works of Arai Akakora.
Each of these swords has its own characteristics. Except for Kenshin's reverse-blade sword and the continuous-blade sword, which can be expressed by Hayato's own movement skills alone, the other two have some special effects.
Mizuna Hayato divided this fight scene into three parts.
In one part, the opponent showed off his moves using a sword, and according to the original setting, Mizuna Hayato defeated him with one strike of the Flying Sword Ryū Tatsumaki.
Then comes the main event.
Let’s talk about the original movie here. Maybe it’s because I don’t know how to display the thin-edged Nodachi, so Kenshin spent a long time fighting with his opponent using a double-edged sword.
However, a double-edged sword is nothing more than a knife with two blades used at the same time. There is no difference in usage from an ordinary knife. If you don't look carefully, you won't be able to tell that he is using a strange weapon in many cases in the original movie.
The characteristic of the thin sword is that "the blade is extremely thin and can be controlled after being swung out." Simply put, it is a soft sword that can be wrapped around the waist.
The action design of the soft sword is very familiar to Mizuna Hayato, but most of the Amway's that I have seen in the past are just shaking, making some sword flashes and sword clanging sounds, and there is nothing eye-catching about it. Features.
Until that one appeared.
