Samurai Rebellion, by Masaki Kobayashi, who also did Harakiri which is one of the 4 or 5 movies that are all kind of collectively my favorite since I'm really bad at just picking one. And I don't think this one is far is behind it. In the 18th century, the Sasahara samurai family (led by Toshiro Mifune's character Isaburo) is upset and slightly offended when their lord orders the family's oldest son to marry Ichi, a concubine that fell out of favor at the lord's court, but after a couple of years they fall deeply in love and have a child together. Shifting situations at the court causes the lord to order that Ichi be returned to him however, and the movie goes through a few stages as the family argues amongst themselves about whether to comply, then their resistance as it escalates from diplomatic negotiation to civil disobedience to outright rebellion and violence.

If I didn't know that it was by the same director as Harakiri I probably could have guessed, it's similar in a lot of ways, very heartfelt and tragic and centered around the conflict between a samurai's duty to his lord and to his family. They even have similar endings, with the main characters dying in pursuit of justice, but ending on a hopeful note with a minor character in position to finish the job for them. I know I started this post by saying that it's not far behind Harakiri but as I reflect on it more I think I might actually like it better--will probably need to rewatch both as a double feature at some point to settle it. Mifune gives maybe my favorite performance I've seen from him, thoughtful and tender at times and vengeful and furious at others, it was nice to see him flex some more dramatic chops. Tatsuya Nakadai, lead actor of The Sword of Doom and recurring villain to Mifune throughout several other movies, also appears here as his friend, which was nice to see, although Mifune does end up killing him again in a classic samurai duel between friends whose honor and duties compel them to fight. Heavily recommended to anyone into these sorts of films.

You Won't Be Alone

Pretty brutal and interesting coming of age story, but half the movie is shot and edited like a medication commercial with asmr narration. It would have been cooler if it wasn't trying so hard to be super deep.

:witch::witch::witch: out of 5

E:got the name of the movie wrong lol




PS this post is impervious to Flames because of the flame proofer. :)
