- This scene is from "The Tale of Zatoichi", the first film in the series. Ichi's opponent is also his friend, a tubercular samurai who wants to check out with style but needs a little help from The Blind Swordsman. I added in some traditional Japanese music by Agatsuma. Enjoy!
The actor is the perfect combination of strength and vulnerability. He was the best. However, I do not see why a dying man forces a friend to live with the guilt of killing him.. The dying man should die with grace. This is similar to a western movie (Badland , 2019) where a government bounty hunter is sent to bring in (or kill) confederate war criminal (Bruce Dern). When he arrives, Bruce Dern is dying of a respiratory disease. The bounty hunter cannot just execute a dying man in his bed, and waits for the man to die (like a man) of his disease. This was a very good movie.
You have to admit the cinematography was top notch even back then.
お相手は “天地茂” かな。
No unnecessary stupid music, dizzying camera work, CGI fakery great storylines. I’m not sure we really made progress with movies from Hollywood.
This was one of the most poignant moments in the whole Zatoichi series. The Ronin had tuberculosis and was dying anyway. He just wanted to have a match with the greatest swordsman he could find before he died. What made it especially heartbreaking was the fact that the two men liked and respected each other. My eyes tear up every time I watch this. Z made me cry many times with the rest of his movies as well. The music was a nice touch. Thank you for uploading.
Their Japanese is very beautiful...with old vocabularies and expressions... it's just like the upper class accent of English. I'm Japanese and was born in Tokyo but I'm sure that i definitely cannot speak like them...
I was surprised to see the guy survive the first pass. But I have to believe this is the genius of the scene. The guy knew he was doomed but for honor had to keep fighting. The subtlety and the detail is incredible, even you watch again you still can't grasp all that is laid before your eyes.
"I won't let you win easily" is slightly different as a translation; "Ato niwa hikemasen yo" means "escape is not allowed" or "it is not over until one of us is dead"
Such a terrible burden to put on your friend. Even if they understand the reasoning, they will still have to bear the guilt of being your killer.
ここから座頭市が始まった記念碑的作品。名作を数々生んだ三隅研二と言う偉大な映画監督の評価は不当に低く誰も知らない。

How feuds should be settled.
Excellent
Such beautiful pieces…acting camera…everything.
Regarding Zatoichi's "reverse grip" style, there was a movie in the 90s - HBO, Showtime, whatever. It was set in modern times. An American was taught by a drunk swordmaker how to fight with the reverse grip. The lead character - I can't remember. Definitely not anyone along the lines of Norris, Seagal, VanDam, etc. It wasn't "Blind Fury." But the most memorable part of the plot was this American living amongst some Japanese Samurai characters in modern times, and having a sword made by a Sake drinking, drunk swordsmith, who insisted this guy learn the reverse grip style. I've tried to google search to find this movie, and just cannot find it. Anyone else????
天地茂だ！
AWESOME!😊
