I've liked a lot. It is a pretty good film with good leading actors and altough previsible, it is a very good tale about the courage of a man who did something really bad, trying to heal himself and to heal the one he blessed most (the son of his victm), even if this blessed man is not aware of that. A beatiful film, and with a good music too. I don't know about the reality of the fencing scenes, but I've paid much more attention to the human conflicts, and for that I think it is a great film.
