This isnt near perfect, this propably doesnt deserve 4.5 stars. But goddamn, besides Toshiro Mifune, this is everything i want out of a classic samurai film and more. Ive never seen an action film that uses its sound design in swordfights so well, the sounds of the swords clinging, cutting, piercing etc. are perfect! Its hard to explain, but they sound so deadly
