Bushido (1963)
8/10
A visceral and no-romantic vision of old feudal system in Japan!!
10 February 2024
Aware that it was made by a commie director Tadashi Imai I decide put a food behind on his unorthodoxy offering where impose a visceral narrative which every generation of loyal servants, actually were jinxed due so mistreated by their lords, it's easy to check out on final sequence at modern Japan, when a couple is subdue by their company's chiefs, well it certainly doesn't find any echo on the truth, it no longer persist in sixties whatsoever.

Starting this point of view the jinxed family around 350 years passing by harshly days in hands of fiendish lords over and over again, working as page of lord mostly of time, it is a bit contrived tale at first glance, of course at its time had loyalty quite sure, although as exposes in the movie sounds as unlucky family's generation, aside all those mismatches others fine elements enter to amplifying the production as a whole, perfect photography, fine dialogues, lavish sets, wardrobe and so on, also Kinnosuke Nakamura in a stunning performance on all segments of each generation that were doomed an everlasting suffering, anyway a dark and twisted vision from the Japanese past.

Thanks for reading.
