“…It was made just after Yojimbo and Kobayashi Masaki's Hara-kiri (Seppuku, 1962) had variously parodied and subverted the traditional Bushido code of samurai conduct. But beside this both the original film and especially Miike's remake appear to uphold a form of heroism that both James Goodwin (1994) and Donald Richie (1996) have discussed in detail: namely a sense of moral purpose, of didacticism, a humanist impulse where characters teach and live by example.
