...I know you've at least seen it so I thought I'd ask you.
I just watched it again, and I must've been pretty stoned when I did, because I couldn't remember much at all of it - this time around I noticed a few things.

1: At the beggining, the VERY beggining...the samurai type guy or whateverthefuck, the one that chops up all the zombies the "good guy"...I always thought it was meant to be the main character from the "today" generation...but then a flashback indicates otherwise.
He was the dude wearing the raiden style hat, right? At the beggining you only see him for a few seconds, So I'm guessing that the sequence in the flashback later on in the film (in which he chops the girls head off so the bad dude won't get the power)
took place right after the scene in the beggining?
Am I right here?
So, the guy that the bad dude chopped in half right at the beggining of the movie, who was that? Was he meant to be represented by some other character in the "modern day" part of the film?

2: The bad guy, his modern day incarnation...was he meant to have been immortal from the start? Were they BOTH immortal, or were they both descendants, or did the spirits somehow bond with them due to being in the forrest of ressurection?
IF the bad guy WAS immortal from the start - why was he? If it's about the girl giving immortality or power or whatever, would'nt her getting her head cut off in the oldskool generation have stopped that?
That's why I'm thinking that maybe the bad guy was immortal from the start?

3: In the end, future generation - things seem to have turned around a little, the good guy looks kinda evil...the girl talks to the other guy (the ?former?) bad guy and says "I should've been on your side"...I don't get it.
I have a theory that he might've became immortal or all powerful and HE was the one that fucked up the world, is that why she said that?

I dunno....it's confusing, but that could be down to my poor attention span.
Fucking great film though...
