I must be the last person around to see this movie, because
whenever I tell people about it they just nod and agree that it was
really great. Plot-wise it is pretty basic, about a blind samurai who
is reminiscent of characters Eastwood played in spaghetti westerns.
It is a little gory, but the blood seemed to be computer generated and
was slightly off, color-wise, so I didn’t have to close my eyes or
anything. There are some nice twists, the film itself is beautiful,
and there are a couple of short “poetic” moments that reminded me of
the final scene (which I love) in The Seven Samurai.
