B/W (green toning) Japanese silent films from the National Archive. Rather speedy. Intertitles in Japanese. Starts with samurai gathering in snowy field, preparing to attack house/castle. Interior house at 57:02:20: alarm, people awakening, hitting gong, fight in corridor, fight in large room (lots of people, lots of swords. Two men fight on footbridge 57:46:08, man is killed. Lots of swordfighing, conflict, war. Prayer after battle 00:07:13. Neat low angle shot down bridge as samurai advance 00:24:15. No one really knows what film this is or anything about it but it's sort of neat. Violence, Attack. Wacky.
