no decepcionó el drama de samurais, muy triste, pero más triste los cortes de cabello de los japoneses

en unos días vemos que tal la original

Was it an unneeded remake, probably (I haven’t watched the original).
I like Miike’s films and I was surprised how relaxed this film was in comparison to his other work, I went in expecting a crazy melodramatic action but instead was surprised by a more character focused narrative.
Did I enjoy it? 
Mostly.
It felt like the middle was just repeating similar scenes that didn’t really do much for the film other than making the audience feel slightly more for the family.

still beautiful, still tragic, but lacks that edge that made the '62 version a punch to the gut

This is a film that could easily have been 1h30 long, but because the performances are so good and the mis-én-scéne is magnificent, we can easily sit through it.
