Re: 13 Assassins
Just caught this On Demand. Great movie about the decline of feudal Japan and the beginnings of the Meiji period. For me, the movie's message was an indictment of how feudal Japanese society and values allowed autocrats unobstructed domination and exploitation of the people. It took an outside, unaffiliated group of samurai to cleanse the evil. Excellent movie, and one of the most epic fight scenes I have ever seen.
