just watch it!
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Exquisitely beautiful film, moved me so much. The acting was sublime, the story/journey timeless. To be able to portray a swirling storm of emotion, heartache, passion and pain just beneath the surface of a seemingly serene exterior. This film led me to explore this genre although it's evident that this is a very special samurai film, even when compared to some of the classics.
The kind of film that Hollywood lack. In other words, focused on what it supposed to show without pushing any modern liberal ideologies that are Irrelevant with this film. Also the actors gave a very pleasing performance.
This is probably one of the best and touchable samurai movie I ever seen. Last Samurai with Tom Cruise? Forget it. Compare Tasogare is typical hollywoodish piece of sh... Even is nice to see, I have to admit. But Tasogare... That's model of perfection. Camera as perfect as in Blade Runner, music as great and gently as in A Beautiful Mind, Hiroyuki Sanada match this character as much as possible in actor ability is. There is very, very few things to complaint. Too plain story? Maybe, for some, but story in this movie is expressed in best way I ever seen. No spectacular "katana" fights? Ooh, there are plenty in countless another movies, you'll be overfilled of it. This one is about beauty, you probably never seen such way, not power of stunts or CGI. Enjoy it!
Crafted with precision, 'The Twilight Samurai' is the story of an honest, hard-working Samurai who fights to earn respect by respecting others. Many of those around him(outside of his immediate family and renewed love-interest) under-estimate his strength and resolve.The film(made in 2002) is period-precise and the viewer is completely engulfed into this society, and even those familiar with this time and culture will be enlightened and intrigued at every turn. I find this film to be haunting, enlightening and very real. The quality of this work is of the absolute highest quality, and in my opinion, it might be the best film of the last 15 years.This IS NOT an action film. The Twilight Samurai is one man's journey to erase the ghosts of his past and future. The journey carries every emotion, and we feel everything that the lead character goes through. We sympathize with him, and later, we celebrate in his achievements.This is a truly great film. The Narration and music are dead-on. Twilight Samurai is a must see for all those except the action-only younger demographic which will not like this as that it definitely NOT the target demographic. All others move this to the very top of your watch-list.96/100
