One of the three greatest films ever made

One of the three greatest films ever made
To me, Masaki Kobayashi’s Samurai Rebellion is one of the three greatest films ever made; the others are Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai and Ingmar Bergman’s The Seventh Seal.Here’s why. The story is superbly written and of profound importance. Basically, it poses the question: how much injustice can a man of honor, integrity and courage withstand before he rebels?There is neither a wasted word nor a wasted action. It is beautifully directed. The acting is uniformly excellent and Toshiro Mifune is truly astounding. He was a consummate artist, easily the greatest film actor of the last century. If this sounds like hyperbole, see his work in Rashomon, the Samurai Trilogy, Throne of Blood, The Rickshaw Man, Red Beard, as Cyrano, etc. He had it all – imagination, charm, warmth, sensitivity, manliness, vitality, power, versatility, integrity, and most of all, passion and dignity.One of the signal keys to great acting is the inner power and vitality that an actor emanates in his silent moments. I call it intensity of repose. It’s something you cannot fake. Mifune had it to a far greater extent than any other actor I’ve ever seen. Further, as Kurosawa said, “Mifune could show more variety and emotion in a shorter period of time than any actor I ever saw.”I guarantee that if you are a basically a cynic, if you prefer naturalistic, everyday writing and acting, Samurai Rebellion is not for you. But if you are an incurable romantic who believes that art should epitomize life and not simply copy it, if you long to see passionate steadfastness, complete moral honesty, an inability to compromise, and action based on principles, you will love this film.
