	Tsubaki Sanjūrō - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tsubaki Sanjūrō (better known as Sanjuro in the West) is a 1962 fl and white Japanese film directed by Akira Kurosawa.
		Based on Shugoro Yamamoto's novel Peaceful Days, the film tells the story of a group of loyal but hapless samurai who are trying to rescue their master, the Chamberlain, from the clutches of a ruthless rival.
		Mifune's Sanjuro is an anti-hero — a shabby, cynical character, who perplexes the samurai to whose aid he comes, challenging their ideas about their calling.

		Sanjuro is able to lead men because he appears confident, and is confident.
		In Sanjuro we also see the soldier, so long in battle that he is unable to live a normal life.
		And we sense Sanjuro must whilt in the easy domestic life, for his is the road of struggle.

	Sanjuro (1962) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Sanjuro (Toshiro Mifune) is a ronin (renegade samurai).

		In one telling scene, they come across the superintendents guards and Sanjuro kills them but afterwards he is angered at the samurai clan hes working for because he didnt want to have to do it that way.

	TSUBAKI SANJURO (Sanjuro)
		Sanjuro tricks Muroto by killing three guards sent to Kikui (the scheming general), pretending as though it was the young samurai guys who did it.
		Sanjuro suggests that he would set the property on fire as a signal for the youngsters to jump over the wall into the hideout, but the wife of jodai scolds him again for such a "violent" plan.
		Sanjuro says that white tsubaki flowers in the stream means "stop." As soon as the old men run around and dump a load of white tsubaki flowers in the stream, Sanjuro sticks his tongue out at them and tells them that tsubaki flowers mean "attack," regardless of their color.

	Sanjuro
		Sanjuro is the follow-up samurai film to Akira Kurosawa's international success, Yojimbo.
		The central character is the same wandering samurai that delighted on the foibles of a town in turmoil in the former film.
		Once again, Sanjuro is in the middle of a conflict and dances between two feuding factions with the agility of a ballet master while wielding his sword with legendary mastery.

	Sanjuro on DVD reviewed on AudioRevolution.com
		This time, Sanjuro is drawn reluctantly into a conflict because he actually believes in the cause he encounters, and not just because, as in "Yojimbo," he's amused by annoyed by the cheap venality of battling yakuza (gangsters).
		Sanjuro hides the young men, and steps outside to face the warriors -- of whom he quickly kills several, greatly impressing Muroto (Tatsuya Nakadai again), a samurai in the employ of the conspirators.
		Sanjuro is taken aback by this; she's a social type he's rarely encountered, but he immediately recognizes the truth when he hears it.

	DVDFILE.COM: Sanjuro review
		Sanjuro (Toshiro Mifune) is back, and he is up to his old tricks.
		Sanjuro is predominantly more of the same samurai shenanigans first shown in Yojimbo, except Kurosawa does try to infuse some humanity into Mifune's Sanjuro.
		Sanjuro has a lighter and more playful story, although both feature a high body count.

	Sanjuro (Tsubaki Sanjûrô) (1962) reviewed by AllZone4DVD.net (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Sanjuro (Mifune) is a warrior without a master: a lone-wolf sword-for-hire who will help anyone in need for the price of some hot food and sake.
		Though he acknowledges no formal allegiance to any clan, Sanjuro cannot stand by and allow innocent people to be killed by a ruthless usurper, and so he accepts his new role and wastes no time in hatching a plan to rescue the Chamberlain and his family and expose the Superintendent's evil schemes.
		Sanjuro is presented in Anamorphic Widescreen, in a ratio of 2.35:1, in Black-and-White.

	Sanjuro Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		Sanjuro overhears their meeting, swaggers into the room and, to the astonishment of these naive swordsmen, surmises that they not only have the situation exactly backwards, but that the Superintendent is certainly on his way at that very moment to kill them all.
		Sanjuro virtually adopts these nine hot-headed but woefully inexperienced samurai, doing most of their thinking for them, even as he longs for nothing more than a bellyful of rice and a nice long nap.
		Sanjuro meets his match when he and his boys rescue the Chamberlain's wife, played by the marvelous Irie Takao.

		Sanjuro Kuwabatake (Toshiro Mifune) doesn't particularly look the part though, as he strolls along a dusty track, following whatever direction a casually thrown branch suggests.
		Commanding a high price, Sanjuro proves just how handy he is with a sword by marching over to Ushi-Tora's place and decapitating three of his mercenaries right there.
		No wonder Sanjuro wanders between the troops, who are menacingly facing-off, and announces that he's not going to fight.

		The cinematography is highly impressive including the track shots through the forests or towns, the wide shots in the buildings, and the quiet intensity of the characters at the end captured on celluloid.

	DVD Verdict Review - Sanjuro: Criterion Collection
		Sanjuro qualifies as another top-notch film by Akira Kurosawa brought to DVD life by the folks at Criterion.
		The incomparable Toshiro Mifune plays Sanjuro as the straight guy, the one who cannot believe the incompetence of the younger warriors he is trying so hard to help.
		All the while, we know Sanjuro has no emotional stake in helping the lads; rather, he does so out of honor, in a matter-of-fact sort of way.

	Yojimbo on DVD reviewed on AudioRevolution.com
		Sanjuro means "thirty years old," so it might not be his name anyway; after a glance out a window, he says his family name is "Kuwabatake" (mulberry field).
		It altered the view of samurai, previously seen as basically noble heroes; Sanjuro is a hero -- he defeats a group of men so easily that he has to fake a more elaborate battle -- but he's opportunistic and cynical (he's a bit more noble in the sequel, "Sanjuro").
		And he flies in the face of the chambara tradition; in "Sanjuro," the value of the much-revered bushido code, the samurai tradition, is questioned.

	Movie Database - [TV Guide Online] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Toshiro Mifune reprises his famous role from Akira Kurosawa's YOJIMBO (1961) in the entertaining sequel SANJURO, in which the renegade samurai becomes involved with a group of young idealists determined to end the graft and corruption overrunning their land.
		Along with its successful predecessor, SANJURO represents Kurosawa at his commercial best, with both films revolving around the marvelously eccentric mannerisms of Mifune's performance, who swaggers through the entire film with a bemused expression--grimacing, scratching, yawning, and stretching in an ironic counterpoint to his character's phenomenal skill as a swordsman.
		The film's humor arises from Sanjuro's weary irritation (warning attacking samurai that they're in trouble because they woke him up), and the contrast between his slovenly, but honest, behavior and the phony ceremonial propriety of others (picking his toes while the nine men scrape and bow to him).

	Wellington Film Society - SANJURO (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		In Yojimbo> and its sequel, SANJURO, the hero (Mifune) is not in himself heroic.
		SANJURO is nostalgic in other ways: Kurosawa makes frequent use of the wipe as narrative punctuation, stages his telephoto swordfights with traditionally clinical violence (Mifune once demolishes twenty men with two precision blows apiece), and again lets the hero shamble grumpily off at the end threatening to kill anyone who follows him...
		The hint of abdication in his world-weary walk, as he shambles off up the road with a characteristic shrug of the shoulders, suggests Kurosawa's intention of wrapping up both this film and its predecessor Yojimbo on a note of mellow downbeat finality.
