For any fans of Beat Takeshi's Zatoichi film

TheoGB [Edit] [Delete] 09:05, 25 June '14

it seems like the final line is possibly untranslatable or very confusing. Every region's subtitles appear to be different

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Zat%C5%8Dichi_(2003_film)#Ending_Quote

[In the article:] "Even with eyes wide open, my world is one of darkness."

But I just saw: "Even with eyes wide open, you can't see everything." in English translation? Regards, 122.148.41.172 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 14:00, 6 July 2010 (UTC).

It seems to vary slightly (my R2 version says "Even with my eyes wide open, I can't see a thing."). Geoff B (talk) 14:34, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
I watched this film on Australian SBS TV 2 nights ago. The final subtitle as Zatoichi tripped over the stone was "No matter how wide you open your eyes, you cannot see what you cannot see", which I think is a profound philosophical statement...Bill Burrell58.96.37.244 (talk) 08:14, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

The original Japanese (いくら目ん玉ひんむいても) has baffled Japanese bloggers. (e.g. http://kid-blog.cocolog-nifty.com/blog/2007/06/post_4d07.html). But they seem to think it means "even the winner does not overcome". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 180.183.10.65 (talk) 15:42, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
