The content of this page was created directly by users and has not been screened or verified by IMDb staff.
Since the beliefs that parents want to instill in their children can vary greatly, we ask that instead of adding your personal opinions about what is right or wrong in a film, that you instead use this feature to help parents make informed viewing decisions by describing the facts of relevant scenes in the title for each one of the different categories: Sex and Nudity, Violence and Gore, Profanity, Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking, and Frightening/Intense Scenes.
Visit our Parents Guide Help to learn more

Sex & Nudity

Nothing graphic. Some of the fathers and mothers get paranoid that the samurai will rape the women of the town. A scene implies that one of the samurai has consensual relations with a woman in the village, but nothing is shown on screen, and the event is only obliquely referenced later. A woman lies herself before a man wanting him to "take" her but is disappointed when he doesn't.

Violence & Gore

No graphic violence, but samurai and militia killing enemy attackers. Several scenes with houses burning. A woman dies on screen from stab wounds. Stabbings with spears, little blood. Some people die by getting stabbed and slashed by samurai swords.

Profanity

Light profanity in Japanese; the degree of translation into other languages varies with editions of the movie.

Casually, people drink alcohol. A man is seen drunk. Some smoking.

Nothing overly frightening, but the film plays strongly on human emotion, so sad and angry scenes might cause empathy to the person in the film.
