Samurai Movies Upload Contest!

As uncontested winner of the two previous contests, Raptor chose to keep it simple and stick to a single theme so here it is. This time is all about Samurai movies. Post-war Japanese cinema caught the world's attention thanks to Samurai movies and entered its golden age with the genre as one of its pillars. Highly influential, thematically and technically, you can still see its fingerprints to this day. Dealing with honor, loyalty, justice, revenge, class struggle, and the end of a way of life, these are the most prominent themes explored in the genre. With the majority of the works being visually striking, and an abundance of veritable masterpieces, there are too many good movies to explore. Specially if you love Westerns, Samurai cinema is a must.
