I just watched the movie Zatoichi and I thought that it was excellent. I would like to hear some thoughts from anyone else who has seen the movie, particularly about zatoichi's style.
I saw it last night too. I enjoyed it, thought it was very good. There were lots of random little sequences and background details that were quite mental- amused me quite a lot. That wannabe samurai fella was pretty funny. Can't really comment on the swordmanship, I'm not a sword art connoisseur, but the occasional moments that highlighted the tactics were useful to a laymen like myself. The bit where Shinkichi (sp? the nephew) teaches those three lads was funny too. Hehe. Well done Kitano.
