Featured review
"Catcher spirits's box" a special meaning episode that took me back until far off 1978!!
If the readers may permit a little intro over this special meaning episode, when I was a teenager I'd watched this one over the big fish photographed by the older man together a young native Indian that complained that such box catches his spirit, somehow becomes a weak warrior, it happened in far off 1978, since then I'd bought the full Kung Fu DVD series and watching it on schedule aired version this episode never reaches, thus a second to last disc appears this long awaited story that never get out of my mind, what a relief!!
Caine following the tracks of his missing brother found the photographer Beaumont (Lew Ayres) who took an old picture which appears a group of men, he asking to Beaumont who supposedly should be his brother on the picture, the old man didn't has an answer, however he got the files at his old cabin at mountain nearby, out of the blue appears a young Indian Matoska (Tom Nardini) attacking Caine with a knife, each attempt Caine knock down him also take the knife, after a couple failed efforts Matoska surrenders himself wondering how Caine got the knife, aftermaths the skilled Matoska catches a big fish with their own hands.
Beaumont mesmerized by such vision getting ready take a picture of so beautiful image, the Indian holding a big fish, whom Matoska claims that box catches his spirits demanding the old man erase such damage, the ill Beaumont agrees and took another picture of the fish only and inviting Caine accompany him a special place where he'll photograph a dense fog coming from the water lake when it get the sunbeams in the exactly moment to take the picture of the rare natural phenomenon, reaching there the dying Beaumont and Caine waiting patiently the dazzling scene caught by the old camera, somehow it thrilled the tired photographer on the twilight of his life.
Over many flashbacks Caine recalls over an elder man Li Yu (the magnificent Benson Fong) picking up pottery shards useful under little grasshopper eyes, trying figures out how he collect such things, wereof later he'll understand such work had a fine purpose on a beauty small prayer monument fully garnished by those small pottery shards.
Back at lake Beaumont is willing to pay to Matoska delivers those plates to his partner at small town whom denies any gain for so friendly man, reaching there Matoska delivers the plates, meanwhile at outside window lurking a gloomy figure of a Chinese warrior at the behest of Chinese Imperator to avenge his nephew death, the final fight is near, in the meantime Matoska saw his picture revealed also the Caine neither, then Matoska ought to return to catch his weak spirit upon Beaumont's death.
Thanks for reading.
