So, I finally managed to watch
THE LEGEND & BUTTERFLY, the TOEI colossal featuring Kimura Nobunaga!
Looks like the movie was featured in the
Far East Film Festival this year, promptly followed by
an international released over Amazon Prime Video! Lucky!
Ok, this movie is a perfect example of the "Watch before you speak" attitude that should be our first priority in judging media.
Is this historically correct? No.
Is it politically correct? Maybe, but probably no.
Is it a "feel good" Sengoku movie? No, by any means.
So, is it a good movie worth watching? Yes, oh, yes, it's quite good. As long as you pay attention and read through the lines.
PLEASE MIND THE SPOILERS. If you didn't watch this yet and plan to do, ignore this review for now.
