Blue Eye Samurai

Post by hammerofglass »

Just watched this and was totally blown away. Great action scenes, beautiful imagery, awesome soundtrack. Very not kid friendly though.

It was a bold move to make the main character not all that likeable. I mean she goes through a lifetime of pure shit so it's understandable, but even her friends and family of choice are kinda disgusted/terrified at her attitude. Especially since it's mostly stuff like brooding, arrogant superiority, and callousness to human life that so often gets portrayed as "cool antihero".

Loveable side characters and secondary protagonists who are actual characters with complex inner lives, vile and hateable villains. Good times.
