If you loved Legend of the Eight Samurai, try Message from Space
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Kinji Fukasaku, and they sit in Action / Adventure territory. If that's the register that drew you to Legend of the Eight Samurai, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Message from Space is
You’re an unassuming teen on a backwater planet when a dying monarch hands you a seed. The Gavanas strike before you can refuse. The seeds demand action but your crew can barely agree on a name. Fukasaku frames space opera like a brawl in a noodle shop, all sticky tables and sudden elbows.
