Looking for some type of adventure the day after Christmas, the movie theater was the perfect place for me to explore something different. Released on Christmas, 47 Ronin fulfilled all of my desires. This movie was based on a true story and contained enough action.
47 Ronin is about 47 samurai in 18th century Japan that took revenge on those that caused their master’s death. Even though taking revenge had a major consequence, that did not stop the 47 Ronin. Their master was disgraced before his death, their land was taken away, and the master’s daughter was forced to marry. One of the leaders of the 47 Ronin, Kai played by Keanu Reeves, was a former outcast. People used to look down on him but he became the hero for the 47 Ronin. This movie contained many magical elements including witchcraft. The visuals contribute to make the movie interesting and exciting. If you want to learn about an important event in Japanese culture and history, then 47 Ronin is the perfect movie.
The characters in this movie were not the popular actors that are usually seen in American movies, however, that did not bother me and there was not a difference in their performance. Anyone interested in seeing new faces and learning something new, 47 Ronin will not let you down.
