Product Information
導演: 小林正樹
Director: Kobayashi Masaki
手起刀落，是英雄末路也是武士的終極完成，
義無反顧，是極度痛苦也是最具勇氣的表現。
本片是日本武士道影片中的經典作，名氣和成就都不下於黑澤明的《用心棒》和《穿心劍》。故事背景是德川幕府的第三代，曾經叱吒一時的武士階級都變成了失業的浪人，他們有一些常跑到諸侯家，要在玄關前切腹自殺，其實是想敲詐勒索。影片敘述兩名浪人的切腹過程，最後揭露出兩人原來有著千絲萬縷的關係，結構奇特，直接影響了四十年後中國導演張藝謀的《英雄》。小林正樹在片中展示出超凡的營造氣氛手段，武打場面不多，但卻精采絕倫；仲代達矢更有著他從影以來的最佳演出。
In this grim yet exquisitely composed film, Kobayashi Masaki delves into the world of the 17th-century samurai, examining "the honor in death--and the death of honor" (Time). After an unemployed samurai is forced to commit harakiri before a feudal lord, his father-in-law returns to the scene, seemingly to play out the same agonizing suicide ritual. Kobayashi begins at the story's end, then recounts the narrative as told by the father-in-law. The effect is almost unbearably suspenseful, leading to an explosive climax of supreme defiance and samurai swordplay, erupting from a battle of wills, called bluffs, and hotly defended honour. For connoisseurs of samurai action, Harakiri is not to be missed.

| A great movie not available in it's original scope?! Why did this video company decide to release this Japanese classics to the Chinese market on DVD in their "A Century of Japanese Cinema" edition and not release it in the typical Widescreen format, which is a standard DVD format. I have to refer back to the VHS version to view the original 2.35:1 Aspect Ratio? For-shame! This movie is a classic and one of the most notable characteristics of this movie is the beautiful B&W photography. Yet, there has yet to be a DVD version in letterboxed with English subtitles. If it's not letterboxed, it's not worth watching. Pan and Scan or Full Frame 4x3 re-edits the movie and re-focuses the audience attention away from what was originally intended by the Director and the Director of Photography. Do no support Full Frame! |
