Both a critique of the samura era and  maintenance of the samurai myth
Three Outlaw Samurai was producer Hideo Gosha’s first film. It was based upon a TV series that he’d developed, and was inspired by several samurai films of Akira Kurosawa.<br /><br />Things start with a ronin named Shiba played by Tetsuo Tamba stumbling upon three peasants who kidnapped the magistrate’s daughter out of desperation because the authorities had ignored their plight during a year of hardships. This sets up the dilemma of the movie as Shiba helps the peasants while the magistrate is determined to get his daughter back to save face, and keep the farmers down. Shiba is joined by two more ronin who were originally recruited by the magistrate, thus they become the three outlaw samurai. This also provides plenty of opportunities for swordplay.<br /><br />If one knows their Kurosawa they can immediately see the influences. Shiba helping the peasants is from Seven Samurai. There’s even a scene where he talks to the farmers about how they have hardly any food left but they give some to Shiba for payment, which is again taken from Seven Samurai. There’s another scene where Shiba is beat up and escapes by climbing under the floors which is inspired by Yojimbo. That doesn’t mean the movie is entirely derivative it’s just that you can see the influences.<br /><br />In the end Three Outlaw Samurais is both a critique of the samurai era with its corrupt magistrate and the powerlessness of the peasants, but at the same time maintains the honor of the samurai as just people who were willing to stand up for the common people. The latter of course was part of the national myth of Japan as samurai were trained and run and maintain the system not oppose it.<br />C
