The Tale of Zatoichi
1962
In the end, we had no choice but to have it this way. We just took a roundabout path.
The mother of a feudal lord's only heir is kidnapped by the lord. Her husband and his samurai father must decide whether to accept the unjust decision, or risk death to rescue her.

Has some of the best acting I've ever seen in a film. You can taste the tension and anguish between the main character's loyalty for his lord and his son.
