Miyamoto Musashi

Pretty decent movie starring Toshirô Mifune. What struck me most was a slight similarity to Onibaba, which I watched a couple of weeks ago. Makes me wonder if there's an entire sub-genre of movies about medieval Japan which feature a mother and a daughter who make their living by stripping dead soldiers of their armour and selling it on the black market. Otherwise, there were great battle scenes and some fairly corny romances to round the whole thing out. And it's in color. But if you're interested in mother-daughter teams despoiling samurai warriors, I'd have to go with Onibaba.
