    Habe den Roman von Musashi gelesen. Nichts kommt da ran. Kauft euch das Buch.

    Wer mal einen richtigen Schauspieler sehen möchte in einem Film mit grandiosen Bildern und einem historischen Hintergrund,der darf sich Samurai nicht entgehen lassen.Eine Glanzleistung von Toshiro Mifune und Hiroshi Inagaki zugleich!
