So finally finished Kagemusha here  >>/23080/
It covers Takeda Shingen's - a great daimyo of the Sengoku period - uncertain death. The creators picked one version and built a tale of it by adding the central element of the film: the daimyo's double. Shingen's generals decided to hide their master's unfortunate fate and go on as if nothing changed.
I'm not sure about the moral of the story if there's any. I didn't notice any accentuated theme, maybe how the double kept loyal to his master but frankly how this loyalty was built, it wasn't shown, so I guess this isn't it.
I dunno. Nothing remarkable, was some interesting visuals, and some close up faces and expressions maybe. I lieked how a sniper explained how he took a shot.
