Sanjuro

In this film the characters are enjoyable. The protagonist bands together with nine samurai. The costume design of these characters is exceptional. It creates reality in the film. The costumes contain equipment that Japanese warriors wear and use in battle. It also expresses the militarism of the Japanese culture. In the final duel, there is an explosion of blood. The blood is a mixture of chocolate syrup with carbonated water and put under thirty pounds of pressure. In the film Sanjuro kills a twenty-seven people. The close-up shots reveals that Mutsuta's wife have what appears to be blackened teeth.
