A double has to become an actual Daimyo lord in Kurosawa's return film
The famous Japanese Daimyo (Lord) Takeda Shingen is getting older and finds a double to stand in for him on occasion. Things go terribly wrong however as Takeda is killed and the double has to really assume his position to keep the clan together. The movie is about the sacrifices the double makes. That’s the basis for Akira Kurosawa’s Kagemusha.<br /><br />The movie marked the return of Kurosawa to cinema after a 5 year hiatus that saw him fall on economic hard times as he couldn’t find money for his art. He was rescued by George Lucas who found financing for him.<br /><br />The movie also stared Tatsuya Nakadai as Lord Takeda and his double. Nakadai was one of Japan’s great actors for several decades and was known for his great facial expressions. He does a great job playing the double that was a poor thief who has to impersonate a great lord. He gets into some very tight situations such as with his women.<br /><br />Kagemusha is the type of film that made Kurosawa famous. A sweeping historical drama with plenty of intrigue and giant battle scenes.<br />C
