The question is that scene true or not is meaningless, as we agree that's a movie. I only can feel if it correlates somehow with my personal experience and try to live through given reflection inside my heart. Maybe that is the purpose of art?
That strange and ucertain thing what we call reality is not strictly determined. In situation like shown one can happen to forgot it's own name, besides cutting someone is not so _easy_ act as it appears sitting in front of the screeen.
But anyway, it's a movie... made by people who had some experience in subject shown.
@dake2dake In the words of another Kurosawa movie, Sanjuro: "You're too sharp. That's your trouble. You're like a drawn sword. Sharp, naked without a sheath. You cut well. But good swords are kept in their sheaths."
@IcarusTrebonius In other words, violence solves nothing, and someone who goes into a fight expecting to win like in the movies...well, that can only end in disaster.
@IcarusTrebonius Pleas, don't take this as rudeness. I don't know what solves what or what is win or loose. These words are from western context, you can choose youreself if they are suitable for given cultural and historical situation.
The only thing that troubles me about this fight - the hero was surrounded by swordsmen all the time, all the time a man was standing behind him who could easily cut him down without any warning. Such things happened regularly historically in such fights, they didn't really wait for his attention to run straight in his sword. But anyway, it's a movie.. :P
このシーンは【雨あがる】の続きです。
因みに掛川城は山内一豊が初めて務めたお城と聞いています。

@rudderhardtoport a lot, if you're a great and disciplined samurai you wont cut down your Conrad.

One of the best movies I've ever saw... The "action" scenes are so much better than the movies from nowaday... So pure... So clean.
