Samurai I - Musashi Miyamoto (1954
The Samurai Trilogy is based around the life of the historical character Musashi Miyamoto. Born around 1584, he perfected the technique of two sword fighting, as well as developing into a considerable Zen black ink artist. Having fought his first duel at the age of thirteen, he was involved in 60 other engagements before his death in 1645. Several versions of his life have been produced for cinema and television in Japan, but none more prestigious than Inagaki's Samurai Trilogy. Winner of the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 1955, it was also Toho's first foray into colour.
The first episode of the trilogy covers Miyamoto's formative years, as he emerges from rural obscurity to search for fame and glory in civil war, but returns home a broken man. Brought back to sanity through the love of a warm hearted girl, she persuades him to place himself under the spiritual guidance of an unorthodox Buddhist priest. His methods of teaching the ways of enlightenment would make the fiercest of Zen masters seem positively gentle. Gaining in spiritual stature and insight, Miyamoto is forced to choose between settling for domestic happiness or continuing his search for perfection in the art of the sword.
Comment :
A wild orphan runs off to join the war but after a bitter defeat he finds himself being sought after for murder. He is rescued by a monk who then forces him to train as a samurai. The first forty minutes of this thing really, really bored me with its rather confusing storyline but once our hero is captured the film really picked up and in the end I was highly entertained by this thing. Directed by Hiroshi Inagaki.
I have yet to get to the sequels but I've heard they get even better.
