Aragami (film)

Aragami (荒神, also known as Aragami: The Raging God of Battle) is a 2003 Japanese action film directed by Ryuhei Kitamura. It was Kitamura's contribution to the Duel Project, a challenge issued by producer Shinya Kawai to him and fellow director Yukihiko Tsutsumi to film a feature-length movie with only two actors, battling in one setting, in only the time frame of one week.

Plot

Two seriously wounded samurai find refuge from a storm at an isolated temple, the home of a swordsman and a mysterious young woman.

One samurai awakes to find that not only has his comrade died, but that his wounds have miraculously healed. He discovers that he has been given the power of immortality by the swordsman, a man once known as the legendary Miyamoto Musashi, who now lives an endless existence as Aragami, a "god of battle".

Production

The film was shot between May 29, 2002 and June 7, 2002.[1]

gollark: Maybe you could use algorithms designed to only run on CPUs decently?
gollark: I mean, partly ploughed into names.
gollark: Probably ploughed into vast quantities of names, which are pretty expensive in relation to current krist yields.
gollark: But yeah, proof of work is an... okay... solution to the problem of allocating krist without it being specific to a server or something, it's just not ideal because it wastes everyone's GPU power.
gollark: I mean, not too much *new* krist.
