I can see why it is so popular. I liked glimpses into Japanese historical culture that this movie provided. In one scene samurai shields and swords were found by the pseudo Samurai. The other Samurai were angry as they understood how farmers hunted down single Samurai at times when the odds were in their favor. Thanks for the link Ikigai! I can see why it is so popular.

On IMDB it maintains a spot in the top 15 movies of all time (http://www.imdb.com/chart/top). The cinematics, story, and historical representation of the movie are all excellent, and I would recommend any practitioner of the martial arts to go out of their way to see this movie. It requires a little more patience that most western movies, but is very much worth the time and effort needed to investigate it.

I saw an Indian movie with the similar theme too on wikipedia. I guess good ideas get passed around! Thanks for pointing this out, John Hi Paul,
