I have watched “Twilight Samurai” today and I am totally blown away and in love again and just want to talk about it all ...

In Short: Beautiful if unusual romance. Film is absolutely PERFECT!!!

19 century Japan – the country with very old traditions and strange code of honour in the time of change.
The country of incredibly cool samurai with the worst haircuts ever in the history of mankind )

The hats they wear come second worst after the ones of British Navy. )

Seibei Iguchi (by Hiroyuki Sanada) is cool, kind, free-thinking, great swordsman, cutely shy and philosophical.
And he is a HERO!!!!  )

Some more ranting, picture and very mild spoilers:  )

Watched “Sunshine” - Film is very thought-provoking. It is a story of three generations of Jewish family in Hungaria during tree epochs – monarchy, fascism and Stalinism. Ralph Fiennes does a top job of portraying grandfather, father and a son. (I am back to liking him, I think, but- he is quite sad again in the “Sunshine”, poor thing)

Things i can't get from under my skin: (Some spoilers)

1.Predestination )

2. Anti-semitism )

3.Stalinism )

4. Personal freedom )
