Zatoichi

Zatoichi

That's one fantastic film, if you ask me. The new film by Takeshi Kitano is a fabulous samurai romp around traditional Japan.
It's about a blind man, Zatoichi, who roams from place to place, gambling and chopping up baddies. His hearing is so acute that he is unbeatable with a sword- if something moves, he antcipates it. Aswell as being a gratuitous killing film, it's also got dancing farmers, the coolest Ninja's and just plain lunacy: there's one fat guy who just runs around the house pretending to be a Samurai. All in all, it's brilliant. You can tell that he had fun directing this movie and that he let his imagination run free. Truly the work of someone at ease with his art!!
He he. I wrote that in the style of a film critic....
Cool. My brother's coming in a few weeks. Gunna be Zatochi!!
