I remember seeing "Hamlet" performed on stage by the Royal Shakespeare Company - it was all but four hours long and I was distinctly nervous that ennui would set in at some stage... it didn't; and it doesn't with this either. At times it is a slow a burn, but the details and characterisations are crucial to the plot and for the most part this pace serves to create and build this depiction of loyalty and vengeance really well. It's based on the true story of a feud that resulted in an attack on the Lord Kira by the Lord Asano in the Palace of the Shogun. In punishment for the outrageous breach of etiquette, he is ordered to commit hara-kiri and his samurai are ordered to leave and to roam the land as "Ronin" (Master-less nomads). Their new leader tries to get the Shogun to rescind their banishment, but when that fails all bets are off and these deadly 47 take matters into their own hands to avenge their Lord, and themselves. The nature of the story, and of the prevailing culture, doesn't really allow any stand out performances, per se - this is very much an ensemble effort that demonstrates the values of loyalty, dignity and pride as effortlessly as it shows us the less noble, shall we say, aspects of their behaviour as their quest for retribution becomes the more brutal - though never gratuitous. The ending is a curious affair that succeeds and disappoints in equal measure - testament, I think, to the clever interweaving of the characters and the traditions. This is a great adventure film with a strong, often seemingly anachronistic moral code that really flies by. No likes yet
