An epic masterpiece of honor and discipline.

Rating: 10/10 (1 January 2004)

This is the first comment ever by me on any movie here on imdb, never felt the urge to do so before. Yet this movie is so unique, so touching that I felt inspired. It portraits the true essence of the standards the Samurai valued, the values they lived and died by. Honor, discipline and respect. In my eyes, a masterpiece.
