	Downtown Nekketsu/RCR question - The Next Level Forum
		Both games feature two enemies at a time gameplay, but the engine in jidaigeki is much deeper, with the insane amount of moves you can use, as well as the higher level of interactivity.
		Jidaigeki features much more maneuvers than RCR, including the screw ability(you fly across the screen as if you were one) as well as a tornado kick and others.
		Their functionality is similar to a standing punch for the most part, so many will simply before for completing combos, although they also have a tactical quality attached to the fact that you have to be in a blocking position to use them.

		This split illustrates one of the fundamental tensions in Japanese cinema, that between fascination with the past (almost all jidaigeki were set in the Edo period of 1615-1868, before Japan fully opened itself up to Western influence) and a careful scrutiny of the present.
		Jidaigeki: Originally a used to describe films based on Kabuki drama, eventually a term for any period film.
		Even the seemingly clear split between jidaigeki and gendaigeki becomes fuzzy when period films take on obvious metaphorical references to contemporary issues and concerns—a phenomenon dubbed as “gendaigeki with samurai topknots.” This term was coined in the 1920s, but is still applicable to recent films like The Twilight Samurai (2002).

		Years after being forced to participate in a bloody massacre of innocent townspeople, Wakizaka Magobei returns to the scene of the crime after hearing that the regional ruler intends to once again commit the same atrocity.
		Ronin Gai is an entertaining classic samurai tale pitting an odd assortment of unemployed samurai (ronin) against a formidable troop of Tokugawan samurai terrorizing the men and women of their small rural village.
		Filled to the brim with unkempt and morally questionable characters a new twist is added to this tale of honor from unlikely sources, where the underdogs here would in most other films constitute mere scoundrels.

	Global Vista: Japanese Culture Through Film
		There are two major segments of Japanese films: jidaigeki, films that take a closer look at the samurai era, and contemporary dramas.
		Until recently, the jidaigeki films seem to have lost the interest of Japanese viewers, although they were popular as one-hour dramas on TV, showing a good leader wiping out the bad.
		But the spirit of the samurai, always being loyal to his master through being quiet, humble and hardworking, was gone.

		Tohei was so impacted by this that they too changed the style of their jidaigeki films and the most popular after the appearance of Toho's Yojimbo was a film called Cruel Stories of Bushido (Bushido Zankoku Monogatari).
		Kurosawa was upset that this gore and violence became so poplar in jidaigeki films and made Akahige to prove that a jidaigeki need not have violence.
		The Samurai class was disappearing as the nobility collapsed and the unattached samurai known as ronin were becoming more evident.

	'Kill Bill' pays homage to Japanese classics Chicago Sun-Times - Find Articles
		Those early swordplay epics were part of a larger genre called "jidaigeki" or "period" films, set in feudal times.
		Emphasizing individuals and their values was a break with samurai- movie tradition because jidaigeki movies usually showed the samurai acting as part of a group.
		Also, Kurosawa presented characters who were morally ambiguous, none more so than the lead character in "Yojimbo," the renegade samurai played by Kurosawa's favorite actor, Toshiro Mifune.

	Cinematic Cool: Jean-Pierre Melville's Le Samouraï
		Jef Costello is not bound to a “lord” by an irrevocable sense of duty; on the contrary, he has no other master than himself and it is only to his own death (represented by Valérie) that he must remain loyal.
		However, while the nihilism of the earlier yakuza films was “grounded in the hero’s alienation from the community through the failure of moral concepts of justice”, the nihilism of the 1950s films was “founded on a transgressive refusal to adhere to the norms of a corrupt society” (5).
		The pacing and themes of the films changed: classic jidaigeki and yakuza films are about mortification and stoicism, themes which slow down the film’s pace and distinguish it from Western action films and cruel-jidaigeki films, in which cruelty and violence are usually foregrounded.

	Seven Samurai
		Seven Samurai is a film about the modern works, an attempt by moving further back into history, to uncover the dialectic between class and the individual, an effort to confront the social construction of self and to see whether this annihilates the basis for individual heroism.
		Kurosawa's intention was to destroy cliches and dead formulas to renew jidaigeki as a film genre that could show the past more accurately and at the same time appeal to the contemporary sensibility of the audience.
		On a more universal level, the heroic efforts of the samurai, like those of the bureaucrat in Ikiru, remain unsung.

		One of the things that suprised me was this line from the first link "Even the word "Jedi" was inspired by Lucas hearing the word jidaigeki." Jidaigeki kind of means historical play, period drama/piece, or samurai movie.
