Pretty historically accurate, Very Oscar Worthy

Rating: 10/10 (29 November 2003)

I just saw it at the sneak preview and I thought it was an excellent movie, I thought it was very historically accurate with the Meiji Revolution and how the Samurai class died down with the modernization of Japan.
At least the film should pull at least 3 Oscars: Best Actor, Supporting Actor (Watanabe) and Cinematography.
***** (5 out of 5) stars
