WHEN THE LAST SWORD IS DRAWN (2003)

[roverrocks]

Just finished viewing the finest Japanese movie I have ever seen.  An extraordinary movie with one of the greatest love stories ever put on the silver screen.  Ostensibly a Samurai movie but so much much more.  A movie of duty, loyalty, courage, friendship, and love most of which is told in  flashbacks by an old man who sees an old photo from his long-ago Samurai past in a doctor's office.  If you want to see a moving, emotional, well-crafted movie that will stay with you then somehow view WHEN THE LAST SWORD IS DRAWN (2003) any way you can.  I viewed this epic on Amazon Prime TV.  Two hours well spent on this award winning Japanese movie.  I have no idea how this movie was not up for a Best Foreign Film Oscar.  Extraordinary movie.
