The worst was probably during the Tokugawa Era. They excelled at creating new ways to torture and kill people who broke the laws.<br /><br />You should read up on how the Tokugawa Shogunate prosecuted Christians.......THAT is some chilling stuff....Nathanael Hoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08959797971471060052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856798792320939017.post-45423555301352623752010-10-01T21:40:07.281-07:002010-10-01T21:40:07.281-07:00I'd also never heard of this although I've...I'd also never heard of this although I've seen the two better known titles mentioned in your review.

I can't take credit for the Trinity metaphor. I read it somewhere else online, but I can't remember where. But as a lover of all three directors, I can say it makes sense.Nathanael Hoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08959797971471060052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856798792320939017.post-37879702211194716662009-11-16T14:02:33.396-08:002009-11-16T14:02:33.396-08:00Another great review of an Asian film I've nev...Another great review of an Asian film I've never heard of until now!
