SUMMARY:⚔️🕵️ The Samurai and the Prisoner - suspicion cuts deeper
DESCRIPTION:Group movie outing - optional brief post-film chat.\n\nShort su
 mmary\n\nSome samurai films sell the sword first.\n\nThis one sounds more 
 interested in the room before the blade comes out.\n\n*The Samurai and the
  Prisoner* is a 2026 Japanese period murder mystery from Kurosawa Kiyoshi\
 , set amid 16th-century war\, political betrayal\, a besieged castle\, and
  four crimes unfolding across four seasons.\n\nThere is also an imprisoned
  strategist whose answers may be useful\, which is exactly the kind of set
 up that makes everyone in a castle seem slightly too calm to be trusted.\n
 \nGood.\n\nThis is not museum homework. Not samurai fandom trivia. Not “
 who has the coolest armour” night.\n\nIt sounds like the kind of film wh
 ere language\, suspicion\, loyalty\, and mercy cut deeper than the sword f
 ights.\n\nWe’re going to the public screening at The Cinematheque\, then
  whoever still has energy can stay for a very quick post-film verdict afte
 rward.\n\nThe plan\n\nWe’ll meet outside The Cinematheque at 6:30 PM.\n\
 nThe official screening begins at 7:00 PM.\n\nThe film runs 147 minutes\, 
 so it should end around 9:27 PM. I’m setting the Meetup end for 9:45 PM 
 so there’s time to exit\, find each other\, and say a quick “what the 
 hell was actually going on in that castle?” before people leave.\n\nThis
  is a public screening\, not a private Meetup event.\n\nMeetup RSVP is fre
 e\, but it does not reserve your movie ticket.\n\nTickets\n\nEveryone buys
  their own movie ticket.\n\nPlease buy online before the event day because
  this is a small independent cinema and we want to sit together if possibl
 e.\n\nOfficial September 22 ticket link\n\nCurrent official ticket prices:
 \n\n• General admission age 18+: $15\n• Senior 65+: $13\n• Student: 
 $11\n• First Nations\, Inuit\, and Métis admission: $0\n\nOfficial film
