question
Your summary seems to match what I saw (and not the kabuki play summary). One
thing that confused me was the fact that Setsuko simply drops off the face of
the film well before the ending. And I couldn't quite figure who the one
survivor of the general slaughter at the end was (only one person seemed to
escape).
It was quite interesting, despite my not having much of a clue.
I wonder to what extent Yamanaka influenced Kurosawa?
