hiroshi inagaki's samurai trilogy IMO, deserves a shout...
it's marriage of characterisation and plot is exemplary...
the samurai trilogy
its quite impractical to "rate" these troika of films one by one... besides, each film in this trilogy won't stand on it's own as it seemed to be built from the ground up as one giant film chronicling the tale of real life sword master miyamoto musashi...
well, the experience feels like watching an anime classic... which really isn't a bad thing since most of em like ruroni kenshin, afro samurai and ninja scroll are rip offs one way or another from this trilogy anyway...
its quite rare for a film to combine both character and plot driven narrative in one cohesive whole and rarer still to do it beautifully like what hiroshi inagaki did in this epic... i guess with a combined running time of over 6 hours and playing a part on the screenplay must have helped...
the climactic duel the protagonist had against a fierce rival during sunset on a beach was a thing of beauty... as with miyamoto's slow personal, professional and mental metamorphosis from a naive soldier to a wise samurai...
