Movie ends before anything is resolved but the anti-hero main character still carries the film
Sword Of Doom released in 1966 was a classic Japanese period piece featuring Tatsuya Nakadai who was always known for playing heavies. This might be his most evil character.<br /><br />Nakadai is Ryunosuke Tsukue the son of a fencing instructor. He seems to kill for no reason and with no remorse. Right at the start, unprovoked he cuts down an old man. His evil is next shown when he sleeps with an opponent’s wife telling her he will let her husband win a fencing match, but then ends up killing him. Even his father knows how bad he is and says that he has a cruel soul that scares him.<br /><br />Ryunosuke is a man who cares about his blade and nothing else. What kind of life can a character like that have but one filled with violence.<br /><br />Along with his tale is the last years of the Shogunate as Ryunosuke joins a group of ronin who kill people they believe threaten the regime.<br /><br />Toshiro Mifune makes an appearance as well as the head of a fencing school that comes into conflict with Ryunosuke.<br /><br />Ryunosuke’s love of the sword means there is plenty of fighting. Not only that but he has a very subtle look that just evokes evil every time he makes it. The problem is he goes into madness in the end, and then the film suddenly ends without resolving the major issues. Big disappointment, but it’s still enjoyable despite this major short coming.<br />C
