Samurai II: Duel at Ichijoji Temple

musashi miyamoto has so much aura. if he saw this he would be like "oh thats me? pure aura"

somewhere between melancholy with its colors and texture while allowing miyamoto's arc to breath from beginning to end. while i think the fight choreography can look fake at times since you don't really feel the impact of every slash, the fight scenes do have some nice blocking.
i don't know, i just love samurai films.
