Kulcsszó Meiji Period

Egy régi filmstúdió bezárása után egy riporter lenyomozza annak egykori legnagyobb sztárját, a 30 éve visszahúzódó életet élő színésznőt, Chiyoko Fujiwarát. A nő mesélni kezd életéről és karrierjéről - mindkettőnek egy rég elveszett, és most a riporter által hozzá visszajuttatott kulcs áll a középpontjában, amit még lánykorában kapott egy menekülő forradalmártól. Chiyoko ezután lett színésznő, azzal az egyetlen motivációval, hogy könnyebben találhassa meg a férfit, akibe beleszeretett. Szerepei és életének valódi eseményei összemosódnak a rendhagyó, kalandos, évtizedeken átívelő szerelmi történetben, amelyben gondolatban a riporter és operatőre is elkísérik őt.

A Boshin-háborúban, illetőleg a Toba-Fushimi csatában rettegett gyilkosként elhíresült Hitokiri Battousai a Meiji éra beköszöntétől kezdve mások megsegítését tűzi ki céljául, mégpedig úgy, hogy nem öl. Rurouni Kenshin néven bolyong, amikor 10 évvel a harcok lezárulta után találkozik egy lánnyal, Kaoru-val, akinek muszáj segítenie, mert a környéken ólálkodik egy Hitokiri Battousai, valamint egy minden gátlástól mentes ópiumgyáros is. Ez bizony egy vérbeli, akciódús szamurájfilm, ám mégis meglehetősen különbözik az eddig megszokottaktól, talán leginkább a szintén kissé rendhagyó Tajomaru-hoz lehetne hasonlítani.

Az egykori orvgyilkos Kensin, aki megfogadta, hogy nem öl többet, most saját utódjával kerül szembe, aki a kormány megdöntésével akar Japán felett uralmat szerezni

Kenshin, a legendás kardforgató visszavonultan él egy vívó iskolában. Egy nap megkeresi az új kormány belügyminisztere, hogy a segítségét kérje. A régi ellenfele, a szintén nagy harcos Shishio meg akarja dönteni a kormányt...

A film egy nagy sikerű japán sorozat moziváltozata. Illetve csak Oshin gyerekkorát mutatja be, míg a sorozat az egész életét. 1907-ben Oshinnak el kell hagynia a szülői házat, mivel túl kevés az élelem, nem jut a család minden tagja számára, így ahelyett, hogy elkezdené az iskolát, már 7 évesen dolgozni kényszerül… Egy szomorkás, megható film. Azoknak ajánlom, akik szeretik igazán átélni a szereplők érzéseit, és nem bánják, ha nincs egy film tele akciókkal és csavaros fordulatokkal.

Egy véres és kegyetlen háború hű krónikjáa. Támadások a 203-as magaslat ellen. A japán-orosz háború értelmetlen hullahegyei. Közelharc és tüzérségi tűz.... Az emberélet a legkisebb érték. A japán filmgyártás leglátványosabb alkotása! A hang gyári hangalámondás, így adták ki 1990 környékén VHS-en, szinkronosan más formában nem jelent meg.
