Review of Samurai Rebellion (1967) by Samuel J — 22 Mar 2012
Samurai Rebellion is a film about a man who is pushed to the brink by his superiors. His son falls in love with a woman he is made to marry and the lord who gave her to him wants her back. The son wants her back and the man played by Toshiro Mifune will stop at nothing to get her back.
Simple plot, more depth in the themes. The film is basically about corruption of values by societal elites, the rejuvinating power of love and the hypocrisies caused by codes of honor. It is a very well acted film, directed by Koboyashi with a lot of passion and skill.
It combines its themes with exciting action sequences and interesting drama. Overall it is a great film that has a lot going for it.
