Eight great - the little bodyguard shogun

Shogun Iemitsu no ranshin - Gekitotsu (1989), dir. Yasuo Furuhata

typical samurai movie, in which authentic events of the seventeenth century became the pretext to present the spectacular and bloody sword fights and spectacular stunts. The action takes place around 1650, when it ruled the third shogun of the Tokugawa, Iemitsu. He hated his son and did not want it to be his successor. Sent a branch of the killers so that killed his teenage son, Takechiyo. In defense of the future shogun becomes bodyguard, consisting, as suggested by the Polish title of the eight great warriors, but I have doubts whether there really are eight. They received orders to lead Takechiyo to Edo and risk their lives to fulfill this task.

Takechiyo the question "How long are we going to run away ' corresponds to one of the samurai "We have not resorted to, go to Edo, but despite the moments of relaxation and leisure (skiing in the snow), it should be viewed on all sides, so as not to fall victim to surprise attack. Takechiyo seemingly weak child, but it is clever and stupid (he realizes that his father wants to kill him.) Says Sonny Chiba, playing the leader of the gang killers "To Edo There are three ways" and each of these roads can be treacherous, each can be a trap from which they come out victorious, only the strongest and most perceptive. About how much should be considered a companion convinces samurai woman - she lights a fire, which brings "uninvited guests".

great asset movie stunts are great (for example, pass through the gap with a rope) and a dashing sword-fighting scenes, usually played in groups in which several samurai sword cuts perfekcyjnymi defeat many opponents. We are seeing a shot zasypujący hail heroes and warriors in the style of the ninja, who fall from the sky (of trees), to surprise the enemy. In addition to samurai swords use the materials explosive with similar properties, which 200 years later invented dynamite. There's even a spectacular scene to blow up the bridge, as well as some surprising effects pyrotechnics (eg, burning the rider.) In the final, but we have an unconventional match, in which the magnificent, spectacular combat roll Ken Ogata and Sonny Chiba. This duel, as well as most other scenes, it is not very realistic, but the director Yasuo Furuhata apparently had no intention to make a film only a historical adventure action movie.

Eight great a magnificent spectacle that delivers excitement. To provoke, to seek information about the reign of the third shogun of the Tokugawa. Shows for which there have strained the situation when the game entered dominion over a vast territory. When the son was afraid of her father abusing power, then in that case, who can trust? Could samurai trust, blindly executing the orders of his master? Or maybe roninom who were independent from any ruler? I did not expect after this film too much, because he was already in the declining period of popularity of samurai films, but still a positive surprise. However, I must mention at the end of one of the major minus film. To battle scenes realistically have scored a lot of horses suffer.
