tak predne - pozitiva Shintaro Katsu je naprosto skvelej, nemuzu si pomoct, ale srsi z nej hrozny charisma na kazdym kroku, ne nadarmo je povazovanej za jedinyho Zatoichiho, tenhle film krome toho ze v nem hral i reziroval - a to vubec ne spatne, i kdyz par much se taky najde. Jednoznacny pozitiva jsou Katsu jak uz jsem zminoval, Ken Ogata, kteryho mam taky moc rad jako Ronin, bitky maji dobry choreo, i kdyz dejove se film trochu rozplizava na konci to neni moc znat, bitek tak akorat i kdyz na konci uz se po zaverecne mele trochu clovek chyta za hlavu, posledni scena - nesmirne zajimave vyreseny souboj (vecny stret) mezi Ichim a roninem. Jeste k postave ronina, kterou tady hraje Ogata - vyborne resena - takova tradicne japonska, skoro vecne plakajici, melancholicky killah :) mistama velice slusna kamera. Nicmene krome pozitiv jsou tam i veci ktery me osobne moc nesedly. Prvni asi jednoznacne hudba, do chambar moc 80s pop pisne vazne rad nemam, zkousavam je u jakuzaren a japonskych thrilleru, u samurajskych filmu sorry ale vazne ne, tohle jsem citil asi jako nejvetsi krivdu, za druhy krev - tenhle prispevek z zanru je opravdu hodne krvavej, katsu si s tim moc hlavu nedela a krev tam misty strika vyslovene proudem, najednou z nekolika casti tela, to mi principielne moc nevadi tady v tomhle pripade to ale cele posouva ten film, tak nejak do hodne Beckove exploitation roviny. Treti vec, kterou samozrejme nevycitam filmu, ale konstatovat musim je, ze me proste porad chambary v ty barve nejdou moc pres pysky, mam radsi klasicky polarizovany CB format. hodnoceni nevim kolik tomu dat - premyslel jsem mezi 7 a 8 - nakonec jsem se priklonil k
8/10 - i kdyz s odrenyma usima, v podstate za katsua a ogatu.
tady je nejaky koment z IMDB:
Shintaro Katsu is an actor who needs no introduction. Having played the rascal Zatoichi, the Blind Swordsman, in 26 films, he knew exactly what made those films so indelible. Though he had directed a few smaller films in the past (including Zatoichi in Desperation), this was his largest budgeted and most personal work.
Zatoichi: Darkness is his Ally, is a breathtakingly beautiful film, shot with almost totally natural lighting. In fact, the photography of the film is near brilliant in it's lighting and set-up. Katsu's handling of the action scenes is absolutely top-notch. Kudos must be given to the final set piece, which I dare-say may be one of the best sword battles in Chanbara film history.
But it is Katsu's moving, final performance as the wandering swordsman, that gives this film it's weight. His mere presence is so compelling, and his carrying of even the smallest of scenes so capable, that you wish the film would just continue forever, just to bask in a master actor's radiance that much longer.
Some people may balk at the slightly episodic (and convoluted) storyline, but there are so many beautifully handled scenes, you can easily forgive any of the films flaws. Samurai film fans, take note, this is one movie you don't want to miss.
