(1967) Zatoichi Challenged.
(In Japanese with English subtitles).
ACTION.
"The Blind Swordsman" also known as Ichi, who decides to stay at one of the local villages inns for the night bumps into a mother who's dying, to impose on a last request only to deliver her only son to her natural father. And along the way, hitches a ride with some people going to the exact location and at the same time comes across an official who's done some deceptive practices of taking over. And another master Swordsman whose been ordered by the state to execute specific people, one of them being is the boys father whose only crime was to be an artist who was ordered to draw some illegal designs, unapproved by the state.
The only problem is that they're too many subplots, but as usual, humanity personal scenes hold the film together!
3 out of 4.
Sub plots.
