Description:
Yojiro Takita's epic film set at the end of the Edo period in Kyoto tells the story of Kanichiro Yoshimura, a lone Samurai whose sole purpose in life was to make enough money to support his family. His fellow warriors initially view him as dishonorable for this mercenary approach, especially Saito, another member of the Shinsengumi, guardians of the Imperial capital. It is here that Kanichiro proves himself time and time again as a master swordsman, eventually earning the respect of Saito and the other samurai.

I could go on and on about the depth, subtlety, and beauty of this film.

I really love this film, it has everything, I love the story telling .
It's all in the title!!!

WHEN THE LAST SWORD IS DRAWN (a.k.a. Mibu Gishi Den) is a moving chambara film directed by Yojiro Takita. The film once again occurs during the Meiji Period, a fascinating time for the samurai lifestyle. Films such as Yoji Yamada's samurai trilogy (which I have reviewed before) and even Tom Cruise's "The Last Samurai" have portrayed the plight of the Japanese warrior during the closing years of this period. The aforementioned films have examined the impact of the Western influence upon the code of ... Read More

With moving scenes of the daughter and father, and realistic if violent and bloody sword action, this tale of a samurai doing his best for his family is a treat. Very well made.

All the review here is great but I just want to add the fact that Saito Hajime & Yoshimura Kanichiro are indeed real character in the history of Japan that made them believeable, although there's part of fiction in the detail to make the story more dramatic to be a novel, which later adapted to be a movie! But at least we should pay the respect to these bravery existency in history!
