I went to see Kagemusha at the Cinemateque in CIA with Emily on Friday night. The internet went down about a half hour before the movie started, so I packed up my stuff and went to stalk Emily. She had the same idea and we just so happened to meet outside between our buildings. Haha.
The movie was really long (3 hours!) and really boring at points. The Japanese was pretty difficult to understand as it is set 500 years ago in the Edo period of Japan. I read the subtitles most of the time. The story is of this thief who impersonates the position of king in this warring clan. The king dies and the thief actually feels like the king. It was a very artistic movie with lots of landscape and army shots. The ending was really sad too.
Emily then came over to my place and we talked until 5 in the morning about random stuff.
