The Price of Supermen, Saki and Seppuku


I have held many men’s dead bodies. In the military and also in my youth, my best friend Steve Brunson committed suicide in the parking lot of the apartments where my pop and I lived. You never would of known it. Upbeat feller, last words were "I'll see you at school!" and my dumb skipping every other day ass said "If I make it"...always the Joker........ His dad, Ox, former black Ops Vietnam. Never seen a hardcore mofo cry like that hope I never will. That and those who loose kids. Helpless feeling of being mad at no one but none the less mad as hell...want to bite a hole in the earth and spit it into gods face....harsh harsh words...we all have been to the brink...suicide is an alternative......go to escape. The debate and reinstate my mind...sit in thought and meditate through the cinema.... Me..like I have said before...escape through the cinema. The summer brings out the Samurai to me. Sorry ninjas and comic books but...


First up.

Harakiri(1962)
Seppuku (original title).


About a hungry Samurai coming to a feudal lord's home  in peace time...ol’ top knots did make much money in peace time. He comes to the house of Ily and asks to end his miserable life after 8 or 9 years of suffering. But first they have a story. Ohhhh and he has his story to tell as well. Whose is the honorable death? Is suicide, the price and the way it is death with in a harsh republic, is that, honorable? What is the price of, Suicide?
Also featuring and actor that make Daniel Day Lewis seem like Sylvester Stallone in a boom boom film…the chameleon of thespians, Tatsuya Nakadai. Who as of this posting is still alive!!! One of the best actors ever.
