Depicts the early life of the legendary warrior Musashi Miyamoto; his years as an aspiring warrior, an outlaw and finally a true samurai.
Leave your thoughts about Samurai I: Musashi Miyamoto.
| CineVueChristopher MachellMifune, the archetypal on-screen samurai, imbues his [performance] with nuanced internal conflict, self- loathing externalised with flailing violence and misdirected anger. |
| Film and FeltGabe LeibowitzAggressively plunging into a rich story and never relenting, Hiroshi Inagaki's Samurai I: Musashi Miyamoto provides the same snappy pacing and riveting battle sequences that made Akira Kurosawa legendary. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzIngaki does a nice job in blending together battle sequences with plot and character development. |
| User ReviewRinaldi AThe first film in the Samurai Trilogy that tells of the greatest swordsman of all. This movie is simply a masterpiece of Samurai and Japanese cinema. Chronicles the rise of Takezo from hoodlum to Samurai and continues to become the legend in parts 2 and 3. Must see if you like Japanese culture or the history of the Samurai. |
| User ReviewKenneth SThe first chapter in Hiroshi Inagaki's SAMURAI Trilogy is nothing short of spectacular. Toshiro Mifune gives another stellar performance as the title character. Based on a novel that has been called Japan's GONE WITH THE WIND, the trilogy follows one man's journey from lowly swordsman to great samurai. In this first chapter, Takezo (Mifune), returns home from a war only to be turned away by his home town. Through the help of a priest and a pesant girl, Takezo begins his journey to becoming a great samurai, Musashi Miyamoto. A wonderful film experience. |
| User ReviewJason JGreat Samurai film ever! It likes the movie to teach you how to be the real Samurai. |
| User ReviewPrivate UDefinitely felt like the first part of an epic instead of its own film, but I don't hold that against the film. This part focuses on the origins of Musashi and his struggle to control his temper and anger. At first it appears he is a feral warrior with no ability for compassion, but the jilted Otsu changes him, as well as the tough guidance of the Buddhist monk. Toshiro Mifune turns in a powerhouse performance, however, and that definitely elevates this movie. Looking forward to see what Inagaki does with the remaining two films. The DVD transfer for this film was not very good though. Lots of dark film and dirty frames, not to mention some untranslated dialogue. It's not enough to make the Criterion version not worth watching, though. |
| User ReviewJeremy GA beautiful telling of the Musashi legend. The character of Priest Takuan is particularly compelling. |
| User ReviewJohnny BPretty sweet samurai movie. It focuses more on drama/story/character development than in-your-face-action, but it's still pretty badass. |
| User Reviewmr. sThe best female lead ever, and Toshiro Mifune, well he is the god of awesomeness. |
