[Movie] 47 Ronin

[Movie] 47 Ronin

47 Ronin is a 2013 American fantasy action film. It was kind of a movie that have epic sneak-peek trailers, only turned to be disappointing when you get to watch it. Yup, I'm not even going to sugar-coat this one. The movie is loosely based on the Forty-Seven Ronin tale from Japan. The tale of of the forty-seven ronins was widely accepted as part of the Japan's history in the era of Genroku, although due to the censorship laws imposed at that time, causes the story to be fictionalized and popularized with the playwright (kabuki and bunraku).

Then, the Hollywood got their hand on this one. First of all, Japanese do loves fictionalizing their historical or mystical tales. They have tales rewritten in a steampunk world, magical planets that resemble Earth, and even a complete alternate reality full of 'what if', like the Space Battleship Yamato animation (the battleship Yamato is a real life battleship, except in the cartoon it goes to space fighting aliens).

So yeah, reboot rewritten stories in Japan is quite common. So common its quite mind-boggling, really, that this movie didn't perform as good as I thought it would be. It was dull, almost lack of any emotions. There are loves story included in this movie, and some variations from the original tale. Namely the witches, demons, slave-trafficking pirates, and a weird looking dragon. But hey, its a fantasy action movie, so why the hell not? But does the variations from the original plot makes its a better tale? Click read more to know more, 'cause its about to get personal.
