Shinken Posted June 14, 2003 Share Posted June 14, 2003 Has anyone else here seen those old Zatoichi movies? It's about a blind samurai who basically has a very crappy life. They're pretty good, and they play 'em on IFC each Saturday. Unfortunately, a few of them are in black and white, so they don't look/sound so good. The color ones are better, though. So, who's seen 'em, and who thinks I'm just an idiot? Or who goes with both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostProphet Posted June 14, 2003 Share Posted June 14, 2003 Yeah, I've kinda watched them. I don't pay attention because I have ADD...wanna go bike riding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinken Posted June 14, 2003 Author Share Posted June 14, 2003 Hmm... Bike riding online. Sounds like a good game concept. Or maybe not. Um... Not. 0_0x; (FYI: The X is the scar on Kenshin's face) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
future girl Posted June 15, 2003 Share Posted June 15, 2003 ooooooo, i've seen the Blind Swordsman. he AWESOME, i love them all, even the black and white ones. pretty much anything by Akira Kurasawa is a masterpiece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juna Posted June 15, 2003 Share Posted June 15, 2003 Ermmmm, hate to ask a dumb question, but I'm really not familiar with what network IFC (something family channel?) stands for, can anyone drop me a bone? ^_^ Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalmLikeABomb Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 Yeah Zatoichi is great. It wasn't directed by Kurasawa though. And if you don't get IFC (independent film channel) contact your local underground indie video store to get 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
future girl Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 calmlikeabomb is right, it's not kurosawa, i got confused. sorry. neverhteless, he's pretty damn cool. and so are a lot of kurosawa movies i recomend him if you like zatoichi. although he is a bit more serious, but just as cool.

Shinken Posted June 19, 2003 Author Share Posted June 19, 2003 Yaay, I'm not crazy!!! There's just one thing about those movies that gets me; if he's blind, then how the heck does he get around so well? I mean, feudal Japan's towns were pretty far apart, so how did he make it to each different town so easily? But Zatoichi still kicks butt. Even if he can't see it.^^x; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
