So, while I was looking for a new movie to watch, I found one with Kimura Takuya in it. It was a great find after watching "I Come With the Rain" since I was planning on looking up what other films he had done. After I acquired the film "Love and Honor" I found out it is the third movie of a Samurai Trilogy by director, Yoji Yamada. Of course I had to look up the first two (thinking Kimura would be in all of them) and I started to watch it.
At first I thought it was going to be one of those usual samurai movies that I can never really get into (sorry, Akira Kurosawa). But this one was different. It's set in mid 19th century Japan and tells the story of a low ranking samurai named Seibei Iguchi. I've watched about an hour of it so far and I think it's great. It's a light movie with a few parts that make u laugh a little. I can't wait to watch the rest and eventually the other two.
That being said, "Parade" will have to wait.
