A lean samurai tale

"A solitary life is agony. Even so, I am not lonely. I close my eyes, and feel Fujiko's warmth flow through me. Those beautiful eyes gaze intently at me. She lives. We are together. We are both alive."I loved this film's simplicity, its beautiful cinematography, and the moments where a character makes a sacrifice, without hesitation, such as when the samurai agrees to take in the sister of a man he's never met. There is a feeling of a tragic destiny from birth, and a melancholy that is pervasive as he sees so many loved ones die in this cruel world. It's as if he has been separated from humanity since day one, and is a walking ghost, unable to marry. His intimidating fighting stance is deemed "heretical" because his opponents know that it can only be defeated if they perish too, implying he's willing to die each time he uses it (never mind how they know this so certainly, they're the experts). Despite all of life's hardships and despite being doomed, he is a man of dignity and honor, and there's something profound in reacting this way, since on a smaller scale we all face hardships, the death of loved ones, and our own ultimate demise.While the film was touching in that way, it seemed to me that it would have benefitted from a richer story, one told over longer than just 71 minutes. I also thought the fight choreography was a little subpar, even allowing for Misumi's restrained approach. Where he absolutely gets it right is in moments like when the samurai is shot racing from room to room looking for his master overhead. For those kinds of moments and for the feeling of this one, it's worth seeing.

Resume:
