Summary: Better than star wars?
Comment: A really great film that deserves repeated viewing. Holywood take note, this is how to fight scenes that have a real weight of realism behind them! If you want to know more about the films they are simply the basis of the star wars trilogy. Lucas basically ripped off several of these Japanese classics for his plot and charactors. He does get full credit for his imagination though.

Summary: The middle episode
Comment: This is the second part of the Musashi, or Samurai series. Read the book if you can. Musashi grows from being little more than a rebellious bandit to being a thoughtful swordsman looking to test himself and his skills in duels. Along the way is a twisting love triangle, battles with a fencing school (who else could take on eighty fencers at once?), and the emergence of a new enemy - a rival with skills equal to Musashi. Toshiro Mifune is, as usual, excellent in his prime role - that of a master swordsman.

Summary: Samurai Epic
Comment: In the second part of the trilogy about Miyamoto Musashi - Duel at Ichijoji Temple - Mifune continues his unparallelled swordsmanship. Musashi has matured and travels as a pilgrime devoted to bushido (the way of the warrior). Musashi's road is beset on all sides by warriors struggling as himself to distinguish themselves. By defeating an entire school of samurai Musashi earns the enmity and envy of every samurai in Japan. Parallell to Musashi's accomplishments we're following the struggles of Sasaki Kojiro to distinguish himself. Friends and enemies from Musashi's past resurfaces and makes life miserable for him. All the killing seems to make Miyamoto Musashi long for some peace and quiet but circumstances and fate has other notions about Musashi's future. The epic battle scenes at Ichijoji temple elevates Musashi accomplishments to myth. Mifune is outstanding, as always, and the director Hiroshi Inagaki use stunning photography to capture the thrilling battlescenes. The colors sometimes reminds me of the techniccolor-era. The high-tension drama in Duel at Ichijoji temple makes this film my favorite in the trilogy about Miyamoto Musashi.
