Why watch this film?
"Rurôni Kenshin: Sai shûshô - The Beginning" is a live action adaptation of the famous Japanese anime created by Nobuhiro Watsuki. The movie is the fifth part of this series of adaptations. In the plot, we follow the origin of hero Kenshin Himura's (Takeru Satoh) journey. When the biggest villain of the series launches a fierce attack on Tokyo for revenge, we discover the cause of Kenshin's scars on his face. The director of the movie is Keishi Otomo, who directed all the anime adaptations to the cinema, including the previous movie that premiered on Netflix in June: "Samurai X: The End". The current one promises to be the end of this saga that gained great notoriety in Japan. For those who love samurai stories with lots of action, it's a great choice. But it is worth saying that it is recommended to know the other movies of the saga before watching this one, but not strictly necessary, as this at the same time that it is the closing of the cycle, it is also a movie about the origin of the story.
