About this movie

Inventive and bold, this film shines with pristine picture and theater-quality sound on Blu-ray Disc. In an empire ruled by fear, the people's only hope is the ultimate weapon: Zatoichi (Takeshi Kitano) -- a blind, nomadic samurai whose sword has made him a hero and whose courage has made him a legend. Determined to help the desperate residents of a village, Zatoichi seeks justice through revenge. It's a wildly entertaining film that's even more brilliant in Blu-ray High Definition.

A plus film by Legendary Martial Artist / Actor / Director Takeshi Kitano. The Blind Swordsman is a must have for all fans of the genre.

Awesome fight scenes and the company of the spontaneous comedy helps to offset the cost of the blood and guts of the movie and I also enjoyed the little bit of romantic elements though not so much due to the fact that Beat Takeshí enjoyed more so "The Action aspect of the Bushìdo and Samuraí" even though not sure if much was even explained through the Thick of the story line in the effort to get the Western audience into the beginning's of what Japan/ Nîhōn Or was it spelled Nihon? I dont know
