The Samurais laugh at Haru saying that the art of war is already outdated. Feeling infuriated, Haru draws his sword, but the Samurais wouldn't. He learns that there is a sword ban in the town.

Love this movie. The main character is such an awesome character.

I like Hideki Oshima so this was a treat for me. Overall, this was a good way to spend an evening.

Don't hesitate. You'll like it.

It's a blast! Magnificent! I generally adored this movie! It is awesome.

This is possibly one of the only perfect films I have ever seen. It is absolutely confident in every way, something which is extremely refreshing

This movie blew me away; however not the first time I saw it, I had to watch it twice to truly appreciate the message and the power of this film. Maybe I wasn't fully paying attention or maybe I was too young at the time but I am so glad that I watched it again.

It was great. Keeps you guessing and wanting to watch more!

The acting is great all around especially from Oba. The cinematography is great.

The character of Oba is very interesting. I like him so much.

This was one of those rare movies that kept my attention. The scenes where amazing, acting was spot on. Oba was the best thing about this film! I'd get it 11 stars if I could.
