    Cliche and disappointing.
  

*by R***T on Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2017*

An irreverent take on the samurai genre with a religious bent, and sprinkled with lots of humor an "don't take it so seriously" bits in order to sell the religious message at the end.  Although told from a Japanese pagan or spiritualism point of view, it is in fact meant to sell christianity without using aspects from the judeo-christian tradition.The humor is typical the Japanese non-sequiter kind of stuff that doesn't have so much of a punch as a kind of bizarre take on whatever it's meant to be commenting on.  As a for instance this film takes place in the mid to late 1600s, and yet there's pop cultural references, even a rendition of "Swanee River" with a musical saw.  On top of all that there's a Japanese hard rock score underlying the story adding to the irreverent aspect, but also adding to the adventure feel of the film; i.e. this is serious, but not so serious kind of stuff.I like good samurai flicks, and this is not a good samurai flick.  It's well put together for what it is, and again this is a "boy meets girl" kind of story with a side bar of a plot of having to overcome the sociopath who puts a kink in the local nobility social works.Overall I found this film tiring.  I'm familiar with the irreverence of Japanese comical film making, and am thoroughly dissapointed with the religious bent at the end, the combining of both makes for a cliche film, even though it does have a number of surprises.  However, if you're familiar with Japanese cinema in the least, then the surprises probably won't be all that surprising, so much as "oh, they had to throw that in there".The other bottom line is that I like serious samurai films, and this film reminds me a lot of what was done in the US and UK during the 60s and 70s, taking a traditionally serious genre, and turning it into a comical genre for the sake of it, and also because someone thought that the audiences were taking the "serious genre" too "seriously".Whatever.If you like irreverent Japanese cinema (and I really don't, at least not this particular film), then give this thing a try.  Otherwise anime offerings which have the same film making style and can ramp up the humor, should offer better options for the same sub-genre.Watch at your own peril.

    Cowboy Samurai?!
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2006*

I love this move because it is unique. Somehow, this sentence says it all. This is a unique movie and very original, even it is somehow a parody but also a serious one about Samurai movies. The whole movie is B&W and the actors are sometimes playing like in a 'silent movie' with strong, overdone expressions esp. Tamaki Ogawa. However this is not overdone and the movie itself is IMO far away from being too serious. In fact it is hilarious and fun to watch. I have to admit that for people who do not know very much about Japanese culture, this movie might be boring and senseless. This is not a martial arts movie even there are some fighting scenes in this movie. They story is told using a valuable sword stolen by the incredible Tomoyasu Hotei, who acts in this movie as the villan and wrote most of the music for this movie too. He also wrote the IMO unforgettable music for the big battle in 'Kill Bill 1'.If you can lower your expectations and let yourself dive into the story, watched some Kurosawa Samurai movies before and share a general addiction to Asian culture, you should give this movie a try and I believe, you will be positively surprised. For the real lover of Japanese movies this DVD comes in the only way, it is suitable for the fan: Original Japanese language with English subtitles. If this annoys you, put it back on the shelf.For all others, highly recommended. It features a wonderful love story, some criminal story and how the underdog Samurai can beat the master Samurai in the best sense of a drama.For me, this is an absolute gem and stands for it's own. As I wrote at the beginning: Unique.I am writing this here, because you can't buy this movie in Germany but I can order it in the US and I highly appreciate that I can do this and Amazon is just a very reliable company. I am not paid to write this, it reflects my true opinion :-)

    One Amazing Movie
  

*by T***. on Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2004*

The plot is as follows.  A samurai clan entrusts a talented but unknown ronin to guard their ceremonial sword.  He ends up stealing the lovely weapon for his own use.  Upon hearing this, a young swordsman and his two best friends go on a journey to retrieve the sword.  Their first confrontation causes each of the three warriors to take a path separate from the other.The plot is fairly basic (the stealing of the sword reminds me of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"), but the way director Hiroyuki Nakano sees it is very original.  Shot mostly in black and white, it's an obvious way to get the audience to appreciate his artistic vision.Perhaps my favorite aspect of "Samurai Fiction" is the musical score, composed by Tomoyasu Hotei, who you may know as "...the guy that made that song from Kill Bill" (Battle Without Honor or Humanity, the part where O-Ren is entering the house of blue leaves).  Every fight scene and many simply well directed scenes are pulled from 1696 to modern day with hard rock or techno anthems.This is a must have DVD for any martial arts fans, particularly those looking to see where Quentin Tarintino got "Kill Bill" from.
