At first glance, it seems like an ordinary sports movie based on Kendo. Jaewoo, who joins the national team selection process, is treated as a soon-to-be eliminated player from the first day. However, IRON MASK does not simply follow the typical sports movie formula. It sets the tension high early on, by showcasing an intense confrontation between Jaewoo and the unbeatable top-ranked player, Taesu. From there, it gradually reveals why Jaewoo is there, peeling away the layers of his story like an onion. Thus, the film expands beyond being just a sports movie and veers into sharp psychological drama. The sharpness of Jaewoo’s emotions is vividly reflected in his Kendo, while also representing the challenges he must unravel in his life. The ending is quite thought-provoking. The captivating cinematography exudes the excitement of Kendo matches in an electrifying way, making IRON MASK worthy of note.

完全没看懂就是说...
剑道技术层面已经远胜大部分的影视剑道了，不知道是否有找真的选手再就业。剧情嘛…镜头很多次给到男主难以自禁攥紧的右手，象征对过去的执念，最后给到伤口好了大半的右手象征放下过去以及剑道上升了一个层次。真的剑道练习中确实很多人右手攥紧，但是这样往往会偏离中线，打击距离也不够舒展，打击没有切割力。这个比喻说得过去但也是真直白……但是剧情很刻意很中二，不能太认真看。
好像是第一部剑道题材的电影？感觉剧情叙述得不太好，不太能get到，主要是剑道训练、对决吸引我看完的。
这个故事告诉我们右手要握松点（狗头）
故弄玄虚，剧情单薄，大篇幅的心理戏真有点腻。
