Hitokiri (1969) [aka Tenchu!]
WOW what a good movie. This is like the Godfather of samurai movies. As in, it kinda looks and feels like it and from the same year. Basically a gangster film, about a loveable idealistic far-right fascist killing machine. Despite his own brutality, once he is in the inner circle of an ambitious crew he is too idealistic to go along with all the treachery. Beautifully filmed, amazing soundtrack. Most realistic swordplay I think I've ever seen in a film, which actually goes FAST and is depicted grittily and honestly instead of the idealized kame-hame style where one fights many but the many kinda stand by the sides waiting to 1v1. All choreographed incredibly. Lead actor is great. His creepy boss is the star from Sword of Doom. He also has an awesome GF stuck in indentured sex slavery, with a scene so good we had to pause and screw. Movie benefits from knowing a bit of the history of the beginning of the meiji era. | ||

Samurai Banners aka Fûrin kazan (1969)
REALLY GREAT movie about a samurai's (Toshiro Mifune's) career from ronin to Takeda retainer during their wars with Murakami and Uesugi, from young Takeda Shingen to raising his kid, Katsuyori. Toshiro plays one of the famous Takeda generals with ruthless, brilliant tactics but a strong sense of romance and honor and love, super swoony. The romance arc is really heartfelt and fantastic. Incredible film if you enjoy the history of this era or even just played Shogun 2, nobunaga's ambition etc and love Takeda clan. A lot of focus on military strategy, even repeatedly showing animated maps explaining the battle lines and expansion plans. Such a good military film. Cinematography is 7/10 but I'll be damned if the Takeda red armor isn't the coolest looking military uniform of all time. | ||

Same guy that made Ichi the killer, and Audition, which at least one is already ITT heh. Audition messed me up, I went on a date after I saw it a week later with a girl and then thought she was going to put me in a burlap sack so I tanked the date and went home fast. | ||
