stylish muddle
Well, I'm not sure what to think.While watching the movie I thought it just didn't make any sense, but the two reviews up here now say it's a comedy, so it's possible that it's just making fun of bad samurai pictures. But really, nothing is much more than mildly amusing in the movie.So if it's a Wet Hot American Summer-styled parody then I'll just say I didn't really get it.Because the story makes just as much sense as the purposely senseless story of that movie.But that still wouldn't make it all that funny, in my opinion.But I think the movie would be more fun if you go into it thinking of it as a parody.Still, I didn't really mind the senselessness that much, I just sort of went along with the flow, and Tatsuya Nakadai's performance alone is enough of a reason to see the movie.
