For those who are confused why the samurais aren't doing more to attack him, it's because no one wants to be the one guy who dies so the rest of the group can overwhelm him. In theory, if they all charged they would kill him but some would die in the process which none of them want to do because most people don't really want to die

@cbrunnkvist 10 ай бұрын

Yeah being a samurai is a tough job. They cannot just bash him to death like an angry mob either; that would perhaps be okay if he was a petty criminal. But now he is evidently a respectable warrior, so killing him in a dishonorable way would dishonor his killer(-s) as well.

There is a point to be made why he lasted so long: The Kageyu samurai, while all "Traditionally trained" had probably never been in a real fight. Tsugumo was a veteran of the recent war. The film makes it clear that many Samurai who fought for the other side are now without a master, and that Samurai on the winning side got complacent. It's basically saying that all these fancy rich samurai are all about talking big game about honor but are unable to back it up. So it took them so long to kill Tsugomo, finally resorting to gunfire, because he, unlike them, was a true Samurai and a true warrior. Spoilers below: The film actually goes to great lengths to point out the hypocrisy of the Samurai caste and the Bushido code. Most poignantly put in one of the flashbacks when Tsugumo is being shown Chijiwas bamboo sword and says "It would never even had occurred to me to sell it." Saying that the code corrupts the humanity of the follower, for what good is a steel sword when you can't even buy food or medicine to your loved ones.

The ''Karate Chop'' is a legit and extremely dangerous technique. You can seriously injure and even kill somebody with it,because the nerve cluster in the neck is one of the body's ''weak points''.Special forces are actually tought it for use in combat and it's strictly banned from every type of ''combat sport'',even full-contact Karate or UFC matches. A secret operative like 007 would definetely use it during a mission. This here on the other hand is complete BS. It's choreographed to look extra dramatic.In reality,he would have been dead in less than a minute. They have him cornered not once,but several times but are just standing around like idiots.''But but... they were in shock & awe,because of his ferociousness yada yada....''More BS,even if 1-2 were shocked,there would be definetely a more experienced fighter among them,who would take initiative and lead the attack. In reality,no one can take on multiple opponents,specially when they're coming from all sides.NOBODY is that good.

I always felt that his throwing to the ground the samurai armor, and the fact that he was killed by firearms was symbolic of Japan's leaving the old feudal ways and taking up the power of the west from then on.

@Hitacho25 7 жыл бұрын

that's a good way to see it, but like Son Goku said, this was in another century, way before that. I feel like him throwing the armor and being killed by samurais is a complement of the message of the movie, wich is to show how a discipline based in honor has little of it after all, and it's just something that you show to the outside but doesn't really matter when your house and your honor itself it's in danger. Him throwing the armor it's a representation of how he doesn't care about their families traditions, because they dishonor the real samurai and honor code. Him being killed by firearms is a way to show how they can't stop him in the honorable way, proving his point and the whole critique of the movie.

@zyura 7 жыл бұрын

There's another point too, that he shows to all of them that he is a true samurai, but they aren't. That's why he throws the armor, symbol of the clan, to the ground and choose to be killed as a real samurai, by the sword, his sword. The clan members abdicated the samurai's values when they couldn't kill them in a fight, and chosen to use firearms.

Him throwing the armor - the red armor being the pride of the clan he opposes - is a physical demonstration/proof that the armor is hollow, like their honor, a physical representaion with nothing beneath it. The use of firearms, as in Seven Samurai, is symbolic both of the passing of the age of the samurai, but also of the destruction of nobility through dishonorable means.

Nakadai's character rips the mask off of the charade and gives the lie to the cruel code of "honor" that actually is bereft of a more earthy, battle-tested, and profound courage. He shows that a house built on cruelty and fealty to the system, devoid of individualism and bereft of compassion is an empty vessel. Yet history is written by the victors. A critique of Japanese society writ large.

A Great scene is when the senior samurai is alone the room and can hear the fighting. What was to be a quick death has turned into a fight with a demon. He doesn't show it openly, but he is afraid of what's unleashed outside.

One of the best movies ever made and needs to have reshowing in western cinemas. Tickets would sell out in metro areas.

They all are afraid of him because he didn’t only beat all the samurai main players in that house, he just took their top knots. Showing his true skill, and that none of those samurai are willing to show their faces and are feigning sickness and injury to not shame themselves. He didn’t just kill them, he left them alive to live with the aftermath that’s gonna come, the whole country will hear how the most noble and skilled warriors were bested by one man. How they made a man who was just trying to earn some money for his sick and dying family, and they made him commit seppuku with a bamboo sword and didn’t even give him the chance to explain his situation. You really feel for his son in law and grand son and daughter. This movie was great.

I agree with so many of these comments about the symbolism, cinematography, and him looking possessed. What's cool is at 2:55 when he looks sideways, because of the lowers quality/BW film, it always seems like his eyes glaze over and go white.

I liked the talk the chancellor had with his right hand man. He basically confirmed what the samurai said by ordering a cover-up. When his right hand man hesitated the chancellor told him"You know the ways of the world as well!". In other words, this would ruin the clans reputation. In the end honor was mostly a farce.

What the.....I actually loved watching these movies in my youth. That was about 50 or 60 so years ago. Today when I see something like this, if not only that I had idolized Samurai then, I cannot help but ask, was it necessary to take out one man through this? Against a "multitude"?
