good movie, recommended
the story is that of a concubine of a Japanese lord who after giving this an heir is denied and given in marriage to repair a young samurai from a small family.
despite the reluctance of the mother and the initial suspicion of her father, the couple create a strong union and conceive a daughter. throughout the union and the feelings of the couple, however, were described to me better, because despite being one of the most important points of the film is analyzed shortly . the father (played by a consistently great Toshiro Mifune) is struck by the love that binds the two young and decides to commit to defend the union from the lord of the manor that after a few years back the claims .
I must say that the film develops slowly, the story is well told. actors have a very formal acting and theatrical mold, as usual in Japanese cinema .
are mentioned some thoughts on Japanese society of the time, such as the position of women, but more than a critique would call a gash on Japan at the time of the shogunate.
in short, good movie, good actors 7/10
