    勝側からの製作依頼を受けただけの事はあるよなあ。
    最初は断り続けて、そして出来たのがこれだから、北野たけしは相当悩んだんだろうな。
    リメイクは殆ど失敗に終わるけど、これは別物として成立していた。

      Most samurai fights ended after the first or second blow. So, such a representation is much closer to reality, although it is an artistic exaggeration.

      @@trollmcclure1884 This version is a remake done by Takeshi Kitano. The original was done by Shintaro Katsu.
      Shintaro Katsu was born in a Kabuki-Theater family. They learn traditional Japanese dance from early age and thus know how to use dantien, which is the foundation of all martial arts as you might know.
      Though Takeshi Kitano is very talented, he started as a comedian. I think his talent lies more in directing a movie or art than acting a traditional samurai battle scene. (Just my personal opinion).

The revers grip is a grip used for quick small cuts when you don’t have room to perform actual overhead cuts. It’s not incorrect. Just different.

      @@suddenlydecent8686 um... yeah. if we're talking about draw cuts only. after drawing your sword you should switch to a front facing grip. higher speed, better leverage, more reach, and better edge alignment are all possible with a forward facing grip. you're right in that fights are determined by whatever works in the moment, but some things work far more often. if i'm in a fight and i punch directly away from my opponent, but somehow end up winning, i didn't suddenly make the right move. my move was still wrong, it just miraculously worked somehow. choosing to use moves that work 80% of the time, when you have 90% moves available, is wrong. plain and simple.
