剧情介绍
三村新之丞（木村拓哉 饰）是名平凡的下级武士，他的工作是帮藩主试毒，备好的饭菜先由试毒者吃，确认没有不良反应后才会给主人吃。就在一次试毒中，新之丞双目失明，失去眼睛无异于废人，他的命运急转而下，幸而美貌贤惠的妻子加世（檀丽 饰）帮助下，他才重新面对生活。
但三村一家由此失去 了生活来源，在亲友建议下，为了维持生计，加世拜托上级武士岛田藤弥（坂东三津五郎 饰）向藩主求情，希望能保住一半薪俸。可岛田以新之丞的薪俸为要挟，强迫加世委身于他。新之丞得知后，无法接受事实，休掉了妻子并决定和岛田决一死战，挽回比生命更加宝贵的武士尊严。 Shinnojo, a low level samurai, lives with his pretty, dutiful and loyal wife Kayo. He has come to find his position in a castle as a food-taster for a feudal lord to be boring and pointless, and talks about opening a kendo school open to boys of all castes where he can teach the use of the sword. Before he can act on his dream he becomes ill with a fever after tasting some sashimi made from shell fish, but an investigation reveals that the poisoning was not due to a human conspiracy, but a poor choice of food out of season. After three days he awakes but finds that the toxin from the food has blinded him. Kayo is summoned by Shinnojo's family to explain how the couple will survive. His uncle laments that he no longer knows anybody with influence in the castle, and asks Kayo if she knows of anybody. She relates how Toya Shimada, the chief duty officer in the castle and a samurai of high rank, offered to help and they tell her to act upon his offer of assistance. A message from the castle brings the good news that Shinnojo's stipend of rice will remain the same, and for life but his aunt tells him that Kayo was seen with another man. He has Tohuhei, his faithful servant, follow her. Kayo notices that she is being followed, and although Tokuhei offers to cover for her, she reveals to Shinnojo that Shimada offered to help but with a price, shown when he forced himself upon her. He then solicited two additional trysts by threatening to tell Shinnojo about the first. An enraged Shinnojo divorces her and orders her out of his house. When it is revealed to him that Shimada had nothing to do with maintaining his stipend, but that it came out of gratitude from the lord of the clan himself, Shinnojo seeks to renew his skill with the sword as a blind man to avenge the dishonor of Kayo. Through Tokuhei he sends a message to Shimada to set up a duel, with the additional message to not underestimate him. The two samurai meet at the stables near the river to decide their destinies.

まだ投げないの?お前と最後の強情さは強いか?
木村演技真的是有的！
镜头语言和色调都有种古典美，例如笼中之鸟、吵架时隔在中间的门框、加代捡起来放在嘴里的饭粒、树丛中的萤火虫。在我看来山田洋次的武士电影不一样，包括《东京家族》和小津拍得不一样，还是因为00年代的审美观和价值观与20世纪有了明显不同。

3.5武士三部曲的最后一部，但是这部却没有把问题带到更深一步，让观者看到更为深层的恶，为了领主尝伙食，不小心致盲，到底应该怎么办的问题，真是异常尖锐，甚至我国古代故事也可以套用。但剧情上却走向了个别小人的问题，当然这毛病之前也有，只不过这部尤其如此。矛盾最为表象也最没力量！（前两部对于时代的哀伤，这部也没有了）。但好在导演技法以及演员的演绎还不错。PS：从这武士三部曲到《兹山鱼谱》再到《夜枭》，原来我们也少挖掘了很多古代有意思的点，而这种见微知著的方式，现在也很少有了。近来能想到的好像只有马伯庸的《显微镜下的大明》了吧
相比喜欢这个故事
三部曲中剧作最难处理的一部，我不是导演，我觉得后半段很难拍很难拍。
三部曲里面最喜欢的一部！因为这个故事很纯粹！随着三部曲的时间线“武士”逐渐变成了“人”，并且是充满人情味的“人”，从《黄昏》隐忍的清兵卫到为尊严而战的新之涵，三部曲的内涵也不再是对武士身份的困境与摒弃，而是对尊严的执着，而这部的新之涵不是为了藩主领主战斗，而是为了自己战斗，为了被玷污的加代战斗，新之涵也不是一板一眼的严肃武士了，而是一个会与妻子下人开玩笑的“可爱”的人，当开头他用剑的反光偷偷看妻子的时候，就明显感觉到两个人是多么地相爱了，还好，万幸，最后是个比较圆满的结局，不然我真的会哭。这部剧唯一的不足就是加代被赶走的那段，太仓促了，加代明明那么爱，但是这段里面却呈现出来了畏惧，我觉得这是不该有的，起码也该是悲伤或是留恋。（昨晚做了个梦，梦到了新之涵和加代的另一种结局，甚至想把它写下来
东亚文化里 男人必须拥有尊严➕一个忠诚的附属品妻子
日本古代都甩我们几条街了。工人因工致盲，人家工头还给一半工资养老。不象我们，打死都不认错。剧情很简单。就是一个武士娶了一个很漂亮的老婆，但是他在上班的时候因工致盲，这时城堡的主管，就骗奸了他的妻子三次。武士就跟主管决斗。因此娶了漂亮老婆的，一定要做好心理准备，因为贼会惦记。
节奏过慢，剧情过苦。童话般的结局让我哭了，加一星。
全国各地的影视都在展示他们国家里面普通人的悲剧生活么？
大神可以 hold 住这等噩梦地狱造型啊！东亚真的是三兄弟，一个比一个更大男子主义，女性角色都是大和抚子这类美丽又贤惠，愿意为丈夫奉献一切的女人。当然可以理解影片的封建时代背景，但也要看导演如何处理故事，能否带来时代气息……
有竹的日式庭院实在太美好了。盲人战胜高级武士？结局有点过于童话。木村拓哉不仅是明星，还是会演戏的演员。7.5
总感觉山田洋次的武士片都只是个设定，本质上还是在拍线代的家庭片，这部的剧本虽然延续了一贯的温情路线，但还是略显庸俗了。
