MCT:August 11, 2008This is by far the best of the modern Samurai movies that I have seen. Superb acting and directing, winning best actor, best supporting, and best director. I highly recommend to anyone who likes a great samurai flick

An excellent samurai movie about a man who will do anything to make sure his family survives.
All the actors did a great job and I felt the story flowed well. The look of the movie was great.
It is pretty long but it played so well that the run time didn't invade my thoughts at all while watching the flick. -
MCT:December 21, 2007An effective samurai tale with plenty of excellent battle scenes. There is a lot of heart and soul in this film, even though our protagonist is not always likeable. This is one of the major plot points though as people start to see him in a different light. Loses marks for refusing to end. We receive a number of new plots which must end themselves. As the viewer though, it's hard to care.

Beautiful, melancholy film, told predominantly in flashbacks paints a wonderful picture of a samurai trying to survive as his world changes drastically around him.

I had no idea this movei would be this good. It swept me off my feet and made me cry. It's a wonderful epic, portraying characters so well, and the tumultous era it is set in. Look deeper, and marvel at the way of mind of the main character, and cry, cry for the doctor who is going to Manchuria - you can't do anything, but watch as the past unfolds, and cry, over the future the movie does not show but that will unfold.

Veteran Actors Nakai Kiichi and Sato Koichi did marvelous job. Though it contains a liitle bit too much sentiment, still good quality as a Bakumatsu era historical drama. (But i don't know why they change their uniform)

A moving film. My first real taste of a Japanese samurai movie, and I enjoyed it. I couldn't connect with the main character as much as I would have liked though he was funny in his dialog.

absolutely incredible. this is only the second movie af all time to make me cry, and i cried twice. absolutely one of the sadest things i have ever seen. this film won best picture at the japanese academy awards in 2003 and absolutely deserves it. the story was marvelous and the acting was incredible. there were 2 major things in this movie that infuriated me, those 2 things made me so angry that i wanted nothing more than to HATE this movie. but i cant hate it. its nearly perfect. the main character does have a major contradiction within his character which seems like a possible flaw in the script, but other than this point this film is brilliant. the 2 things that made me want to hate this movie werent flaws or script issues, they were just things in the story that didnt go my way. this film does not have your typical happy ending. but like i said, despite my tears and sadness for the characters at the end, i cant find anything about this film thats not beautiful. i havent stopped thinking about it since i watched it, one of my favorites of all time.

Possibly one of the greatest Samurai epics ever filmed, this story documents the beginning of the fall of the Samurai to newer, more modern battlefield technology. This film also inspired the hit film 'The Last Samurai'.
