That part where Zatoichi was in anguish after knowing he had just killed Sensei Hirate literally made me cry - it brought to light the reality of how sometimes fate can be so cruel … so very cruel. Sad. So very sad.
True. However Hirate was a dead man walking, Hirate knew this and wanted to die at the hands of someone with immense skill, this being the blind Swordsman Zatoichi, his friend, his only friend. Japan is a very unique place with a unique history. Warriors are an odd lot.
These (corrected "these") Japanese movies have always had a place in my heart, I used to watch them with my dad when I was a kid, he liked them too, the good acting, the mood of the movies, sweet and bitter like life. Excellent upload and well worth a like.
Visited many Japanese cities during the course of work. 1964-2006. Have strong affection for Japanese culture, food, sports and friendship. Bought this whole series and viewed episode many times. I liked the small cities best.
Anyway I could pay for a copy from ya? Whole series! Been trying to get my son to get into it, too slow, my son haha! Hidden gem these are. Accidently came across thes3 and fell in love. Hard!
I remember seeing movies featuring the blind samurai when I was in college some 60 years ago. Wonderful cinematography. I’ll watch everything in this channel.
I just bought the Criterion Collection BD Boxset Of Zatoichi The Blind Swordsman. It's truly a wonderful series, especially this 1st film Tale Of Zatoichi
Two warriors who recognize each other in their mastery and show each other respect in a deadly labor of love! What could be more gracious and beautiful.
For me Shintaro Katsu is one of the greatest artists of all time. He was not only naturally gifted and traditionally taught, which is a bonus, but he always pushed the envelope, creating new and exciting genres in film and sound. There’s never going to be another like him
i wont say about the framing the close ups the music the story...but the scolding of Zatoichi to the yacuza boss was fenomenal in acting and in life lesson, love every second of all Zatoichi movies and series every bit of it is like a nail striking my hart and many times brings me in tears out of shame in my lifes mistakes that would avoid if i saw the movies earlier in my life ... thank you for the upload
Thank you for posting this abridged version of a feature-length film. Your edits gave me enough long segments to appreciate the quality of an original I have never seen.
So sad, Sensei Hirate smiled when he found Ichi on the bridge. As if he is ready and eager to die to escape his ailing body. Even sadder, their conversation on the bridge actually in earnest between friends, not some made up words.
So much irony. Two wise men, two good men. Thrust into conflict by the hoards of scoffers and scoundrels they serve. It’s the story of life that keeps repeating. If we don’t all learn from bushido our final lesson will be from the tip of the sword.
Wow... I forgot about that scene. Looks so strange after having watched every episode of the TV series and all the movies. I'm so used to his rolling his eyes up. And I always wondered if that cause Shintaro any eye strain or pain. He probably did it so much it didn't hurt anymore.
Not so rare amongst warriors, but in this era of humanity, true warriors are quite rare. Crossing blades was not personal, 2 professionals doing their jobs. It's bizarre to people who are not warriors but warriors it's not strange at all. The US Marines learned the heart of Imperial Japanese warriors and when August 1945 came, US Marines largely had immense respect for Japanese soldiers, they did not give up easy, and threw their lives away in a heartbeat for combat for some, others just saw orders.
I spent the night watching what I was able to watch while of these Fantastic Zatoichi Movies while in Tokyo way back in 1973. Since then I have cherished each moment of rewatching everyone that I can find. It is a legend now as more and more people try to copy what he has created. So thank you and yes I do remember this movie being quite a bit longer than this version. But why bicker over the little things as Zatoichi would say. ha ha ha. Tiny bird dance over clear blue water. ha ha ha. I sing for you Ichi.
... I looked forward to Watching MONKEY in England in the 1980s, No VHS Recorder. The next morning in the School Playground we would imitate our Favourite Character PIGGSY Was Mine.... Greetings from Bradford West Yorkshire 🏴✌️ 11:38
This is quite the odyssey through times, beliefs and customs (however idealistic), that (in a now redundantly bizarre world of neurotic/pathological ideologies), generate far more authentic respect and thought than what contemporary "progressives(?)" would have us believe is "truth." A trained and ultra-skilled killer of men, Zatoichi nevertheless and forever retained his humanity. This is on full and simultaneous display in both his self-contradicting and self-wounding agreement and great reluctance to grant Hirate's final, existential wish; the desire to die bravely like a man and a warrior in a final and ultimate test of skill (however obvious, inevitable and fatal the outcome), instead of waiting for his illness to take him or being "slain by scoundrels." Such poignancy and appreciation for life when it's displayed and balanced against our mortality is almost never seen in film anymore. On a more technical level, I enjoyed the complete lack of blatantly artificial sound effects in the fight sequences when the blades cut their intended victims. It's a shame later movies universally employed such jarring theatrics. The only thing I might say against this clip is the editing. Throughout the temporal narrative (which in the film was no more than 48 hours) Zatoichi's head was practically shaved, but at the time of the fight, it had grown out about two weeks worth of hair. A mild, nitpicking point, but being a Japanese film, maybe it's like that blatantly but intentionally crooked pillar in an otherwise flawless tea-ceremony hut. A nod of awareness to the imperfections of life. And I'm not being intentionally pedantic, I've just been drinking vodka. Guess I should have had sake...
29:30 Master Hirate simply didn't attack at this point although he easily could have, because all he wanted was to die at the hands of Zatoichi instead of those scoundrels.
There is film of Hattate Miki before this encounter with Zatoichi Detailing his life in Edo and his journey to Sagawasa. I don't see Tale of Zatoichi with english subtitles on you tube anymore
The problem is Devil runs the world. He is lier and murderer. That's why we've got the Gospel about the God's kingdom. Jehovah would put everything in order. The dead will be resurected and we'll meet our beloved ones again! :-)
I love this ,but where to watch more of this black and white versions? They were on the Net, but now I can't find them???? I was grow up watching them and have a lot of nice memories.

@@LoneWolf_Cub_Ogami_Itto こんな言葉があります。武士の生きざまを表した、言葉で、「剣に生き、剣に死す」、平手はまさに文字通りの死にざまでした。勝つのが分かってたのに敢えて、戦った市さんは、切腹のときの介錯と同じだと思います。平手さんに、武士らしい最後を迎えさせてあげたのだと思います。
@@rusantmandewaowaranay1261 Thank you for that insight it made it so much more meaningful.
These films are absolute works of art!!!
Agreed. You can find the explanation of these characters in the book of Nietzsche: Twilight of idols.
Lo son con justificada razón.
Absolutely.
I agree. Have seen all of the Zatoichi films. I Love the scenes of Humor as well. Pure Gold!

This is brilliant. One of the best of a fantastic series.
i had tears in my eyes......so intense acting.....thank you for sharing

座頭市と平手造酒。凄い凄すぎる‼️有難うございます。
釣り場で一緒になった時 波長が合ったんだと思います 二人とも過去は謎に包まれているが 友達ができたんですよね 両者とも本当は寂しくやっていたと思ってみると こんな切ない話しあるんかなと感じました
thank you so much for posting this movie. I'm a very big shintaro katsu fan and have tried to find this movie for a long time🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️
What marvelous outside frames!
The one when the boats arrive is pure genius!
I was 15 years old in 1972 when I found out about Zatioichi. Hooked ever since. I have all the movies and 1/2 of the TV series. Love them.
These were all great stories, very underrated, very well made. I didn’t discover them until the 1990’s and was hooked.
天知茂さんの今にも壊れそうな
儚げな繊細さのある雰囲気。
勝新太郎さんの鬼気迫る感情が
昂る様な演技力。
風さえも切り捨てそうな殺陣。
「座頭市物語」は、
どれ程の長い年月が流れても、
消して枯れ果てる事のない
大名作の映画作品だと思います。
この高貴で儚い雰囲気。音楽だけでなく、一つ一つの小さな物音迄もがもの哀しい。素晴らしい名作で、大好きです。勝新万歳。

Shintaro Katsu plays Zatoichi great in all his movies.😊
❤yes .he is wonderful
勝新太郎のこの凄みは一体どっから来るねん‼️

I’m looking for the full episode
9:23 "So no more killing today. Not even fish."
"I agree."
I love drink scene.
いいものを観させてもらった。ありがとうよ。座頭市を観たのは、久しぶりでした。
ちょいとめぇのUA-camにゃ、なんと全シリーズフルでUPされてたもんでさぁｗ
チャンネルごとジェノサイドされちめえやしたがねｗ
これは第一作目ですよね 最高傑作だと思います
This is a clip from a cinema movie from the early sixties , it’s a pity I can’t find the entire movie anymore only clips it’s a great film
Criterion has almost the entire film series available for streaming with subscription.
釣り目かっこいい天地さん今の俳優が出せない、渋さ虚しさが出ています、これを引き継いだ日本の俳優はいない、新たに

これが一番かっこいなあ、勝新太郎さんも、若き日のニヒルな天知茂も、スターとはこのことだ。すごい・・・。
Ichi, the blind swordsman. The legend was told to me long ago by a wise friend.
So sad, Sensei Hirate smiled when he found Ichi on the bridge. As if he is ready and eager to die to escape his ailing body. Even sadder, their conversation on the bridge actually in earnest between friends, not some made up words.
構図とか所作とか要素は色々あるんやろうけど
俺全然タイムリーじゃない世代だけど今見ても普通に引き込まれる
心の通じ合った人と真剣勝負・・・、つらいなあ・・・。
好きな作品です。観られてよかったです！
晴天の下、中空に浮くひばりの鳴き声を聞くでもなく棹をさす宿命のふたり、日本映画屈指の名場面。
Watch this movie from long ago and still keep watching
Like the way he acts and it’s fantastic
So much irony. Two wise men, two good men. Thrust into conflict by the hoards of scoffers and scoundrels they serve. It’s the story of life that keeps repeating. If we don’t all learn from bushido our final lesson will be from the tip of the sword.
釣りのシーン カットによって晴天、曇天時に撮影していますね。
室内カットの照明も素晴らしい！
メリハリの効いたモノクロームでドキドキします。
32:20～
座頭市シリーズで唯一と言っていい、市が眼をカッと見開いている
貴重なシーンですね。改めて観るとこの当時コンタクトレンズなど
あるはずもなく、それでいて見開いた眼がまるで見えない人のそれ
に見えるのが、勝さんの演技力なのか・・・。やはり本物は凄い！

最後の方で飯岡の助五郎に啖呵を切る場面では、目にコンタクトレンズを入れて、盲人のやくざの凄みを出した。

天地茂さん非情のライセンスの撮影で何度もお会いしました。眉間に皺を寄せながら挨拶されるお顔を思い出します。
平手が宿で酒を飲むシーンで型を見せますが田宮流居合の基本形でした。
カッコ良すぎる。時代劇で一番好きだわ。
I grew up with "cowboy westerns" This was exceptional.
Finally Mr. Hirate acknowledged the skill of Swordsman ship owned by his regular masseuse after being proven by the fight on the bridge .. 👍🤩🙏
布団の上で病人として失意のまま死ぬより、自分が認めた人間と戦って戦士として死ねたから、ハッピーエンドっちゃハッピーエンドなんだよな
史実として有名な話、飯岡組、笹川一家、そして平手造酒。大スター美波春夫も歌っていた。座頭市モノでは最高傑作。
I like Zatoichi. His act has been the best to me.
The Best Japanese Movie as Warrior as Use his 8 Sense Instinct. Over More Than Awesome. I Love it.

One of the saddest of all the Zato films.
