Shogun

[Scotsman]

Was talking with a co-worker about this movie yesterday and then curling's thread got me thinking about it again today.

Who has seen this movie/mini-series. Came out in the 70's starred Richard Chamberlain as a dutch ship captain who shipwrecks in Japan. Pretty much for the average american it was the first look at feudal Japan and the Samurai.

Haven't seen it but Lone Wolf and Cub is a great series of Samurai movies. I highly recommend them.

I also like Akira Kurisawa films. I was watching "Ran" last night before I fell asleep.

Yeah, I remember the miniseries. I liked it. I remember everyone reading the book too.

God, what year was that? Nevermind, I don't want to know......

I own Shogun on VHS tapes, has a real nice hinged box set for it. Also have the book, I actually kind of prefer the movie myself. The music in the miniseries was awesome.

Nice I need to see it again. Maybe I'll watch it next week.
