Samurai I: Musashi
Miyamoto (1954)
Directed by Hiroshi
Inagaki this film based on the novel “Musashi” stars Toshiro
Mifune, Rentaro Mikuni, Kuroemon Onoe, Kaoru Yachigusa and Mariko
Okada. Two peasants seeking fame and glory leave their village to try
their luck in a large up coming battle.
This film is the first
part of a trilogy and to an extent it really does show but the story
still holds together well even if it always feels like the first part
of a larger story. The plot deals with the central characters
transformation from an animal to starting on the road to becoming a
man. With plenty of decent action and set pieces this is a good
watch.
4/5
