A pretty good Samurai movie. This stars Mifune as well as the old guy from Seven Samurai. This is a classic demonstration of the facade of the Samurai, much like Hara Kiri. They must maintain an image of confidence and dominance, but in reality they are scared. Combat is idolized and the most striking part, was the ending (spoiler warning) where Mifune forced two trembling soldiers to fight to the death in the name of honor. They ran from each other and didn’t want to, rather orchestrated by the sheer power and presence by Mifune.
I will definitely watch more samurai movies and Mifune movies. Ghost of Tashima is such a good game and it is igniting my interests deeper into Japanese movies.
