I agree with you. Amazing movie.

It depicts a remorseful and stalwart hero caught up in family drama and delivers strong and thoughtful lines without bombast or pomp. The movie really captures that Showa-era feeling of solemn dignity and profoundness in the simplest ideas.

It's a little campy, but it's filled with such heart and love for the source material. I can already feel like it will age a lot better than its contemporaries.
