Wonderful

Rating: 10/10 (28 February 2006)

A true masterpiece of screenplay and cinematography. This movie tells a fantastic tale about a western military adviser who comes to learn the true meaning of himself. The acting is great and really pulls you in the movie. There are scattered opinions of the plot but I believe that they are from those who don't watch it all the way through. It may be a bit "long" for your average movie goer but without this pace it would ruin the calm and peacefulness you won't come to expect from the Samurai. There is little that can be said about this movie that cannot be conveyed through it's wonderful direction. Watch it... I mean really watch it and you'll take away more than you would from 99% of the movies out there. It's a wonderful movie, true beauty and art at its finest.
