winterI just got back from seeing Zatoichi.
Ahem.
SQUEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
Right. I'm just wondering if I'm not the only one who noticed the interplay between the original Zatoichi movies (which I haven't seen, but Mom's seen a few, so the blind masseur featured in my bedtime stories when I was an ickle bloodthirsty kitten), the Rutger Hauer movie "Blind Fury" (which was on some layers a US remake of the Zatoichi concept) and this movie. I can't help but think of Kitano's blond hair and blue eyes in this one as a kind of homage ^_^
If you liked Kenshin, or old samurai epics in general, or yakuza movies, or... or just want two hours of FUN, go see it.
(Anyone up for accompanying me for a second bout of squeeing? ^_^)
