It fell victim to the "Asian Denouement" syndrome that plagues most films of Asian origin. The buildup to the climax was very entertaining, but as soon as the dust settled, I felt that the ending was rushed and uncared for. I understood what message the director wanted to convey, but the drama was lost. <br /><br />I've recommended to you before, and I'll recommend it to you again. Find the Samurai Trilogy. It stars Mifune-san, so both acting and action are ever-present. I like this series so much because the pacing was consistent throughout the trilogy. The story spans across many years without feeling like you missed anything. The evolution of characters are well-paced and quite believable. And most importantly, the ending was quite satisfying in its simplicity. Sure, it's a trilogy, but I don't mind if it takes several movies to tell a good story. Much like how it takes skill to tell a good story in less than three hours, it takes as much skill to hold together a good story across a series.The Marcnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06790237322362358280noreply@blogger.com
