Has anyone seen this film?  It is Japanese period piece set right before the Emperor was returned to a position of power.  Lots of action.

Saw this about a month ago, was showing at one of the theaters where I live. Probably the best movie I've seen this year

I try to limit myself to films about a dozen assassins or less, sorry.

I don't wanna.  To embed, try pasting the url in the box what opens after you click the li'l film lookin' thingy.  That should do it.

I've done that, but it won't embed properly. Maybe it's the browser I'm using.

I have a question for those who have seen the movie:  What is the story behind the reappearance of the woodsman/ hunter/ guide the samurai hire at the end of the movie?

His character in itself is a reference to the Monkey King from the story Journey to the West. He is also a bit of a reference to the character Kikuchiyo from 7 Samurai.

There is also some hinting that he could instead actually be a demon from the flash backs on the woman, but thats more speculation.

That would probably be Tokugawa Yoshinobu and the setting would be the Boshin War. But I think the movie is set earlier.

What I ussually do is copy and paste into word or whatever, then copy and paste into the forums.
Dont make much sense to me either, but it works.

Shiningwolf I assumed he was a spiritual creature.  First his crazy skill with weapons and then his reappearance at the end of the movie.  My friend who saw the film thought he might be a ghost.  Much like you, I too noticed the Mifune character from Seven Samurai.
