Wow, "Zatoichi" (座頭市) was very nice. There were some strange details though. For example, many of the characters would speak differently from one another, as if using a different dialect. I found the geisha to speak in very clear and nice Tokyo accent, rather than Kyoto dialect.

Even though the movie is Japanese, it was clearly influenced by India, as at the end all of the characters who were still alive were dancing for some unknown reason. And they were not dancing some traditional Japanese thing, they were dancing some modern rendition of tap dance. They were even wearing modified wooden sandals, so that they would make the clicking sound that is characteristic of tap.

If you have spare time to watch it, I recommend it.
