"Samurai films, like westerns, need not be familiar genre stories. They can expand to contain stories of ethical challenges and human tragedy." -Roger Ebert

"All the traditional westerns are about choice and the individual. When progress comes it's much more difficult to define the individual in that world." -Gore Verbinski

"The great art of films does not consist of descriptive movement of face and body but in the movements of thought and soul transmitted in a kind of intense isolation." -Louise Brooks
