Review of Samurai I: Musashi Miyamoto (1954) by Tomas T — 31 Mar 2016
A story about a young self destructing peasant who leaves his home village to join a major battle seeking fame and fortune. Through many twists and turns he finds himself being trained how to be a real samurai.
The script is well done in my mind, the watcher is easily kept in check even though there are many twists and turns in this movie. Mifune steals the show as expected, but even so other actors do a good job too. This is not a Kurosawa movie and you sense it right away, but not in a bad way.
I realised only after the movie that this one is the first episode of a full movie trilogy. A good start in every way, looking forward on seeing the rest.
