Guest matakishi Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 What? You think he should have avoided the little rock? :lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iron flag Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 I was referring to the "Big Dance number" on the stage.I thought the part with the rock was pretty funny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest matakishi Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 I thought you might be. I liked the ending, it carried the musical peasant theme to a conclusion and gave us a theatre curtain call for the cast. A fitting end to a modern morality play. Different strokes.....

Guest godzillakungfu Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Yeah, I felt it fit in with the whole musical context of the movie. I LMAO because it was so unexpected. It was little over long but for me it fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iron flag Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 I usually dont like too mix Broadway Shows and Blind Swordsman movies! :lol I got the feeling maybe the directors girlfriend was an aspiring choreagrapher and he was trying to give her a chance!

Guest limubai2000 Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 My girlfriend (native Japanese) and I both were surprised at the end of the film but I think she liked it more than me. I was slightly perturbed to say the least. Upon a second viewing I guess I can understand the tongue and cheek of it but still, it's Zato. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sakura2004 Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 The finale kind of fits the rythmic/musical theme of the movie as a whole, and it fits because the villagers are celebrating their release from oppression. Its a good excuse to get up and get a drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest godzillakungfu Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 It fits. I think the whole Neo is Jesus he will return is the worst ending ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sakura2004 Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 I think Kitano's is a brilliant reinterpretation of Zatoichi. The opening scene was fantastic, as was the cinematography, sets, and costuming. At no point did I find myself comparing with Katsu--I think this one does well on its own. Just hope there is a worthy sequel in the works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Violento Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 Yeah... the sequel. Maybe the sequel will also have it's sequel. And then another. Maybe there'll be yet another Zatoichi series :lol . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
