Computer-generated title at beginning: 131-15-2. Japanese silent feature, toned green, Japanese intertitles. Pretty speedy. There is some interesting cinematography here. Starts out with exterior of large Japanese home, MCUs of Japanese men in traditional dress. They enter house, old man instructs group of younger men (samurai?) Great excitement in the house. Much emotion. Really cool sequence starting at 06:24:26: two men looking at each other, rapid cutting between their faces, then one man rushes to the camera, quick cut to other man rushing backwards away--a must-see. They fight but people rush in and pull them apart. Sword, Fight, Japan, Conflict, Battle, Home.
