Sanjuro 1962 123movies

Watch: 椿三十郎 1962 123movies, Full Movie Online – A wandering samurai, Sanjuro, is drawn into local politics. The Superintendent of a clan is plotting to take over the clan by implicating the Chamberlain in corrupt activities (activities the Superintendent is actually responsible for). Part of the plan involves killing off the Chamberlain’s staff and, in protecting them, Sanjuro sides with them. The supporters are massively outnumbered so it will require all of Sanjuro’s cunning and swordcraft to ensure the Superintendent does not succeed in his evil plan..
Plot: Toshiro Mifune swaggers and snarls to brilliant comic effect in Kurosawa’s tightly paced, beautifully composed “Sanjuro.” In this companion piece and sequel to “Yojimbo,” jaded samurai Sanjuro helps an idealistic group of young warriors weed out their clan’s evil influences, and in the process turns their image of a proper samurai on its ear.

Reviews:

it’s by Kurosawa–what else do you want?
Sanjuro is another in a long line of purely classic films by Akira Kurosawa. This movie was made on a whim on the heels of the wildly successful Yojimbo, but Kurosawa doesn’t simply whip out a movie to satisfy the audience; he creates another film masterpiece. This is a farcical comedy shot with the same brilliance as Ran–take a minute and notice how perfectly the image on the screen portrays what Kurosawa wants us to see. Nothing about this film is a mistake, something that he would want to do over. Watch this film!

A film about peace
Toshiro Mifune is back as the ronin with no name, who once again finds himself immersed in a struggle for power which seems senseless. He decides to lead a group of nine inexperienced young men trying to rescue the elderly chamberlain of their clan, after first correcting their misperception as to a superintendent’s motives. They’re heavily outnumbered by an army of men led by a skilled fighter (Tatsuya Nakadai), and we get both the chess match between the leaders, and well as comedic moments from novices (“We can’t move like this! We look like a centipede!”). It’s a film which may not have quite the same powerhouse images of its predecessor Yojimbo, but feels lighter, more balanced, and more tightly told, so the two films make a nice pair.

Kurosawa shows us that dividing into two sides and fighting seems tragically inevitable – aside from the two leaders who vie to be on top of the clan, when the ronin leaves his group of acolytes, they soon divide into factions and argue over what his intentions were, and even when the outcome seems finished, the two samurai fight out of a pointless sense of honor. I loved how the final battle is not elongated or glorified – its brevity amplifies the sense of how idiotic it is.

Kurosawa also seems to be saying that strong men with a will to power are drawn to warfare, and weaker men who follow them are often cowardly and easily fooled. It’s not a flattering portrait of humanity, or should I say men – because it’s ultimately the way of two women, who seem so impractical when we first see them, who provide the only non-tactical intelligence in the film, with the elder one advocating as little violence as possible and saying “the best sword is kept in its sheath.” Ironically, for a film with such cool swordplay and fighting scenes, it’s about peace, and it seems to say that only in this gentle way that we can survive.
