The Twilight Samurai is a beautiful story told through the eyes of Ito the five year old child of a junior Samurai. The tale is one of class,status and honour in the way of Japanese culture. The child Ito tells the story of her fathers hardship after the death of his wife. And of his love and care for Ito and her sister. There are two excellent fight scenes, these are not full of blood and gore and flying around, but are woven into the tale as fights of necessity and honour. This film is not really about action, but more so about every day life for Ito and her family. It would be a shame to give the plot away with more information. This movie is one of the best in its genre that I have seen in many a year. Anyone interested in Japanese culture should see The Twilight Samurai. I will certainly watch it more than once.Read full review
superb heartfelt filmmaking that takes its time to reveal the narrative of a widowed samurai who no longer wants to yield a blade or kill another person. If you are expecting lots of sword action and bombastic dialogue this isnt for you, if you are an adult and want to see a film about proper human relationships take a look.
An inspiring story of a modesty & the utmost selflessness, very similar in moralistic feel to Ame Agaru, if you enjoyed Ame Agaru I'm sure you will enjoy this, if you haven't seen Ame Agaru then you should :-)
