47 Ronin (2013)
Watch it for the special effects - otherwise...
As I watch mostly South Korean and Chinese films spoken in the native tongue with subtitles. I found the Japanese who spoke American weird,
but tried not to dwell on it. Some details took me out my concentration
though.
I don't think Japanese women have curly hair and above alle long
( clearly false) lashes. ( but of course it was made in 2013)?
The witch was clearly 100% American looking.
The daughter Mika and the witch used almost childisch voices at times wich was really annoying. I could not place the Caucasian hero Reeves in the story, so strange.( I must say he had some great action scenes) Big Bravo for Hiroyu Sanada whol looked totally great and gave soms authenticity to the Japanese feeling. Also Min Tanaka, Lord Asano performed so that I could believe in his role.
What I liked most were the well performed figthing scenes and great
special effects.

Great film; beautifull scenes ,deepling moving end
I watched this film because I fell in love recentle with Cho Seung.
Saw him in recent work, Stranger, life,Sisyphus.
He got my attention for his cool playing of stranger en though it was his caracter to do he made me curious. His he always his way, also with
very scarse body language. I was delighted to discorver this wonderfull actor who coud express emotions and coud use his body so well.
Started lookin up his younger work and found Horse doctor with had me hooked also.
Now I found this early gem.
Especially I loved the use of the light in this film and the amazing fighting scenes, well performed by Cho Seung it was beautifully orchestrated.
The lead actress can express a lot withe her fine features and beautifull face. The chemistry between both was not that overwhelming but this is due tot the script.
This film I will not forget. End scene leaves you breathless.
