This one surprised me. Really funny, sweet, and sincere.
There are two kinds of directors out there: 1) those who don’t film with hundreds of live snakes on set, and 2) Steven Spielberg.
So much to love here, but I'll just mention the fascinating narrative structure. The movie is 207 minutes long, but the stakes are set less than a minute after the film begins. The peasants are thrown into a near-hopeless situation with limited time to find out a way out.
Also, when compared to the samurai in this film, most of today's action heroes are hardly heroic at all.
