Rare critique of the arbitrary power of the samurai lords
Samurai Rebellion is not about some big battle as the title might suggest. Rather it is a critique of the samurai class itself. That comes in two forms. It begins by criticizing how samurai lords had concubines and then attacks their arbitrary power. One samurai family led by Toshiro Mifune decides to stand up to the power of their lord and fight for themselves against the clan. This is a very unusual story for Japanese cinema which usually lauded the samurai for their honor and tradition. Films also emphasized the group over the individual. Here it’s a family so it’s still a unit, but their determination to stand up for what they feel is right against the powers that be has an individualist spirit.<br /><br />There are some great images that go along with the theme. For instance Mifune walks out into a rock garden which has been nicely raked and leaves his footprints all over it as he talks about overturning senseless convention. The garden obviously represents order and Mifune’s prints the path he and his family are taking against the grain.<br /><br />Even then the movie couldn’t escape the constraints of the genre and ended up having a very Japanese conclusion.
