of the very few japanese samurai movie i have see this be without a doubt the best . it about this woman who be bear in a prison and raise by a samurai priest who teach her the deadly art in order to take revenge on the people who kill her father . the fact that this be the main inspiration for tarantino homage to the samurai genre kill bill be apparent all the way through it . from the main theme song from this film be use in kull bill to many shot copy and the film be divide into chapter . what very good about this film be that you will have no problem understanding and follow the story without any confusion . which happen a lot when you watch foreign cinema . no and this film be so thoroughly tell that you wont miss a thing . i definitely recommend this film to any movie buff or tarantino fan .
