質問: 【教えて下さい】「old guys」の意味 「old guys」の意味について教えてください。
回答: this play is very unique among joruri plays, for its setting in ancient times, the motif of myths and legends like ama no iwato (the heavenly rock cave: the myth that the goddess of sun hid herself in the cave), jusan-gane (thirteen bells: the legend that a 13-year-old boy who had killed a deer was punished by ishikozume) and kinukake yanagi (robe draped over a willow: the legend about a court who lady drowned herself in sarusawa-ike pond), and particularly its structure similar to current fantasy action, which makes iruka a horrible monster and the good guys who search for his weakness. 古代を舞台にし、天の岩戸・十三鐘・絹懸柳などの神話伝説をモチーフにしている点、とりわけ入鹿を恐るべき怪物にし、その弱点を求めて善玉が活躍するという現代のファンタジーアクションに通じる構成は、他の浄瑠璃作品と比べ極めて異色。 http://ejje.weblio.jp/sentence/content/old+guys
