TODAY'S MOVIE

TASOGORE SEIBEI (2002) aka TWILIGHT SAMURAI. I saw this in a theater!. It is a wonderful tale set at the end of the Samurai period. John, who saw both, says this beats THE LAST SAMURAI all to hell.

Meticulously detailed in its setting and characters, the story moves along beautifully. It is stately. The guy who plays the Samurai is wonderful. So are his children, his friend, and his 'girlfriend'. I laughed and cried and got scared. You should see it if you can. It got several nominations for Oscars. I don't have to give it a Netflix rating but if I did, it would be a 4.
