watch all of Akira Kurowsawa's films (read all 11 entries…)
9. Kagemuhsa 3 years ago

In 1572, there is a civil war in Japan, and three powerful clans, leaded by the lords Shingen Takeda (Tatsuya Nakadai), Nobunaga Oda (Daisuke Ryu) and Ieyasu Tokugawa (Masayuki Yui), dispute the conquest of Kyoto. When Shingen is mortally wounded, the Takeda clan hides the incident and uses a poor thief to be the double of the strategist Shingen and keep the respect of their enemies. Along the years, Kagemusha incorporates the spirit of the warrior of the dead warlord.

Great film!

I have nearly all of Kurowsawa's films..

I love the samurai movies, and have many of Kurowsawa’s films on dvd. Also I am a huge fan of Shintaro Katsu and Toshiro Mifune. It was amazing when the two appeared together in an Zatoichi film, where Mifune played his Yojimbo character- and meets Zatoichi, what a thrill that was! By the way I have posted a page on Shintaro Katsu. One day I have to write about why I love him so much!

Oh..

We have lots in common! I also love Mifune! I love him in the comtemporary films he made for Kurosawa too! I also love the Zatoichi franchise, but I did not see the one Mifune was in. I wonder if the dvd store has it for rental? Did u like the newest Zaroichi film with Kitano? I thought it was pretty cool! Believe it or not I have not seen Yojimbo! It is always out at the rental store and I never see it for sale at the local dvd store. I can buy it , but it is sooo expensive!
