This is one of the most underrated films of all time.

One of the things that many people don't understand is that the historical details are incredibly accurate, including the actual meaning of Bushido(the way of the Samurai), and one of the things that I don't understand is why people argue with how certain phenomena is contrary to reality. People are way too literal, they need to actually SEE it right before their eyes to believe something can/can't happen. This film was crafted beautifully from start to finish, and the history was in fact, correct, and I'm not being bias, I'm telling it like it is.
