Movie Review of the "KAMUI GAIDEN"

This post is a review of the ninja movie of "KAMUI GAIDEN". The original story from manga comic "Kamui Gaiden" by Sanpei Shirato in 1965. New and powerful creater Kankuro Kudo in Japan took charge of the screenwriter. I like movie that he directed. "Kamui" is hero's name. "Gaiden" meaning of another legend. There is a story of the main named The Legend of Kamui in the manga comic. Hero's Kamui doesn't appear so much in this story. The name of Kamui is from word "God" of native people Ainu in the north of Japan. In The Legend of Kamui, the story starts from the Kamui birth. Infancy Kamui appeared from the undermost layer of the feudal society in Edo period (17 century). There was a discrimination class named four occupation in Edo period. Kamui was a class that did not enter the four occupation named Hinin. Hinin was a class under the farmer. Their work was dismantlement of the dying farming oxen and horses, skin and leather work, executioner, etc... There was a lot of public execution in Edo period. Samurai judges the criminal. Hinin work is stabs the criminal to death with the spear. Kamui that disliked discrimination and feudal society pursued strength. Kamui received Ninja's scout. There were a variety methods join to the ninja organization. The technique for forging for myself was expected as for Kamui and the scout was done from the ninja executive. The infant of just the birth might be abducted. The elder sister of Kamui married the farmer. The Legend of Kamui is a story of the farmer, the merchant, the samurai, and the ninja who lives in discrimination and the feudal society. Kamui Gaiden(The another legend of Kamui) is a story that drew the technique and fight of Kamui that escapes from the ninja organization from which it impossible escape absolutely. The ninja doesn't choose the means for the behavior objective. It wins one's end secretly like the spy agent. The technology doesn't become a comparison thing at samurai's military arts level. The ninja organization has an absolute instruction system. When the instruction is disregarded, it is killed. Moreover, it is killed when seceding from the ninja group. There is little contingency fee to construction. The ninja controls feelings. When it fails in the duty and it is restrained by the enemy, it commits suicide. The ninja uses the character of the animal and the plant.

I found the movie with an English title with Youtube. Because it is Youtube, the link might become interrupted. You can see the movie from "Read More".

Movie Review of the "The Tale of Zatoichi"

Japanese Samurai Harakiri Action Movie!!

This is review of my favolite movie "ZATOICHI" series. Shintaro Katsu was famouse action star in Japan. He already died in 1997. Also Shintaro Katsu was prodecer, singer, director and drug freaks. He was arrested by possession cocaine and marijuana in the Hawaii Honolulu International Airport in 1990. He was concealing the drug in the underwear. Shintaro Katsu said, "It was when noticing it" the drug that existed in underwear. After the arrest he said, "I will not take underwear because not do same crime in the future". Zatoichi is his most important work. Zatoichi is a drama by which blind masseur's Iatoichi fights with the gangster. Zatoichi is expert of the Iai. Iai is a technique for cutting it when Katana is pulled out from the sheath. If the first attack is prevented, enemy is cut by next move. Zatoichi in addition loses uselessness in having it in the inverted hand of Katana the movement of the hand. The ear is sharp though he is sightless. The expert of the sword of Japan did not rely on eyes, and concentrated the spirit. If this technique is acquired, it is invincibility. The name of the technique is called "Shingan". The meaning is "Eyes of the mind". Zatoichi is a story of the massage master who travels. He rolled in the trouble. Zatoichi uses the sword concealed in the walking stick. Swordstick is called "Shikomi" in Japan. In the film "Zatoichi and Yojinbo" is Akira Kurosawa's "Yojinbo" "Tsubaki Sanjuro" starring Toshiro Mifune VS Zatoichi. Shintaro Katsu's son performed by "Zatoichi" in 1989 directed by Shintaro Katsu. His son killed the performer with a genuine Katana while taking a picture. It was a scene to which the corpse was pierced with the Katana. The blade cut the carotid artery. In the scene of cutting each other, in the Katana, pretender's Katana is usually used. His son received the circumstances audience from the police said, "The staff prepared a genuine Katana without permission". Prepared Katana was for make more real performance.

I found first movie of this Zatoichi series on Youtube. I paste it after "Read More" though this movie might be erased from Youtube.

Movie Review of the Quentin Tarantino's "Jackie Brown"

This post is a review of Quentin Tarantino's "Jackie Brown" I saw yesterday .
I like film of Quentin Tarantino verry much. His movie has been influenced from an American culture as much as me from the 1960's to 1970's. About the most much remainder in impressions, Robert De Niro must suit the moustache, and be good-looking. It is easy to take movie scene of smoke marijuana using pipe is people can understand than joint.
