#22: A SUPERB AND WONDERFUL ZATOICHI FILM
|
I highly recommend this Zatoichi film. It is another in a long line of great Zatoichi films. In this wonderful episode we find Zatoichi [Shintaro Katsu] meeting a man named Wang,[Jimmy Wang] from China. Wang is a good and decent man, not unlike Zatoichi. He is also very skilled with a sword. The problem is that Ichi does not speak Chinese, and Wang does not speak Japanese. The man also has one arm. But like Ichi who is blind, this is not a handicap: Wang is as lethal as Ichi with the sword.
And although they both ally themselves against the evil they encounter, it is the continual misunderstanding between Zatoichi and Wang that lead to their parting of ways. Both of the characters are decent men. They both have a high standard of decency in terms of their fellow man: especially in defending the weak and defensless. However, it is their language barrier that prohibits these two protagonists from finding a common ground: And in turn leads to an unnecessary confrontation between the two.
The ending I do not wish to spoil for you. It occurs with a confrontation between these two protagonists. Will there be a duel? Or will they part ways amicably? I will let you watch the episode for yourself, as I do not wish to spoil the ending of this delightful Zatoichi outing for you. I highly recommend this episode to all viewers, and of course, to all Zatoichi fans everywhere. Highly recommended. |
