I much prefer the first part of the film to the final third even though I liked it as well.

Somewhat belied by a gruesome title (which does eventually come to fruition), here is an unexpected treat: largely lighthearted and with a quaint juvenile sense of humor. All the more surprising when its final act lands with a pathos about the road being a great equalizer, where travelers of various castes commiserate in their respective endeavors. What an endearing ensemble of characters. As in many other great samurai films, the customs of hierarchies are rejected.

Like many I suspected a more action heavy samurai movie based on the intriguing title. But I got a good movie that shifts very well from the comedic tones at the start to more dramatic tone at the end with social class commentary mixed in.
