 "come on see it i know you will like it"This was one of the first movie that i ever felt so good.I bought this movie becouse wanted something diferent.when i finish seen it i was speechless it was just what need it to see.The film has great story amazing cast and the director and also the dir of photography is damn good.THIS IS A MUST HAVE YOU WONT REGRETED "Excellent"Just when I think the film business is growing stale or full of "hollywoodesque" type films there comes a film like this to change my mind and breathes fresh air into my lungs. This film is visually stunning, well acted and told in a great way. The only deterance some might find is the rock music soundtrack interlaced throughout the film. It doesnt ruin it but sets a strange tone. dont let that sway you as the film is breathtaking and a wonderful film! "Great"This movie is funny, yet still maintains a serious theme. A must have for any foreign movie buff! "One Amazing Movie"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. "Great Forigen Art Film"It's a great story to watch, not your typical Jet Li film, but more along the lines of a Crouching Tiger, type movie |
