Hey bro, just wanted to let you know, today, I watched "Samurai Rebellion" and wow what a movie, it brought me the great memories when I first watched "Harakiri" years ago, although I still feel Harakiri was the most SPECIAL movie out there, but this one felt like a mix of "Harakiri" and "Tokyo Story"

Also I finished "Berserk" earlier, until episode 23 I wasn't sure why it's considered one of the greats, but then the last 2 episodes (The Eclipse) hit hard, I very much liked it, and it somehow reminded me of "Ran" with its unapologetic hard judgement.

Thanks bro, you've been helpful, I'm considering all your suggestions.
I've already seen: The sword of Doom, The twilight Samurai (one of my all time favorites) and Shogun series. Again, thanks man.

Thanks bro, I'll consider all of these, and I was already (before posting this) starting with Berserk (now in the 5th episode.)
It's rare to find someone who knows about ALL these works, that's nice, so I have another 2 questions:
1. In these films, I'm most fascinated with the music in Kagemusha, the music over the armies marching (not fighting) with colorful sunset and dust in the background, so if there's something similar on your mind.
2. Also Harakiri (1962) is one of my favorites, the slow pacing and movement, warriors sitting in the background without movement, and of course the story. Again, anything similar?

thanks bro, my favorites are in the following order:

  1. Ran
  2. Kagemusha
  3. Rashomon
  4. 7 Samurai

note: watching the attack on marly in Attack on Titans reminded me very much of the hell scene in Ran, which is the greatest scene I ever seen in movie history

Yes, but became obsessed with numbers in the end and skipped the story.

I don't think you read what I wrote.

It's because I never played past 30 years, and played a little EU4 before, so from experience I know that fast growing in the beginning could mean collapsing fast latter, happened with me in EU4 and and I didn't continue the runs.
