I first saw a poster of the movie in SM Cinemas but what really got me excited was when I saw the trailer of the movie. The shape shifting dragon, the beautiful cinematography and of course &#8211; all that action!\u00a0<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\">After seeing the trailer, I was hooked. I was so hooked that I even got myself a copy of the\u00a0novelization of the movie from Fully Booked.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\">Before you get confused though,there is no actual book or novel about the &#8217;47 Ronin&#8217; what I read is actually a novelization of the movie. The &#8216;novel&#8217; so to speak is actually based on the screenplay that was used in the movie.\u00a0<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\"><b>Behind the Legend<\/b><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\">But truth is stranger than fiction because it is a true story which took place \u00a0in Japan at the beginning of the 18th century. A noted Japanese scholar has said that their tale is the most famous and noted example of <i>&#8220;Bushido&#8221;<\/i> the Samurai code of honor.\u00a0<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\">The story is about a group of samurai who become leaderless or what is known as <i>&#8216;Ronin<\/i>&#8216; after their <i>&#8216;Daimyo&#8217;<\/i> (Feudal Lord) Asano Naganori is forced to commit <i>&#8216;sepukku&#8217; <\/i>(ritual suicide) because he assaulted Kira Yoshinaka, a court official.\u00a0<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\">After almost two years, the Ronin avenged their master by killing Kira. Because of this, the group of Ronin were then obliged to commit <i>seppuku<\/i> as well.\u00a0<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\">This true story has been adapted into many forms and mediums over the past years, adaptations of their story is known as <i>Chushingura<\/i> in Japan. There is even a graphic novel written by Sean Micheal Wilson and illustrated by Akiko Shimojima. \u00a0<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;text-align:center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/teampcheng.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/01\/9a894-9781611801378_p0_v1_s260x420.jpg\" style=\"margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/teampcheng.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/01\/9a894-9781611801378_p0_v1_s260x420.jpg\" height=\"320\" width=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align:center;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:small;\">The 47 Ronin Graphic Novel<\/span>\u00a0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\">I have not read the graphic novel but I made sure that I was done reading the novelization before seeing the movie.

SPOILER ALERT!)<\/u><\/b>: Oishi is thrown in a pit (jail) for one year. In the book, you will \u00a0get a glimpse of his misery and suffering. Having no companion but the dark, dirt, grime and rats. But in the movie he is thrown in the pit, the screen goes dark and the words &#8220;One Year Later&#8221; appear then the next scene is Oishi being hauled out of the jail. Some people in the audience laughed since the transition of the scene implied Oish was thrown in jail and was\u00a0unceremoniously\u00a0released a\u00a0year later without even feeding him. I know it&#8217;s implied that he was of course fed and nourished during that time but audience (especially Filipino audiences <i><u>can<\/u><\/i> be pretty silly at times).<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;text-align:center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/teampcheng.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/01\/342ea-47-ronin.jpg\" style=\"margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/teampcheng.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/01\/342ea-47-ronin.jpg\" height=\"266\" width=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align:center;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:small;\">One of my favorite things about 47 Ronin were the elaborate sets that depicted the beautiful colors of spring and the costumes that the different characters wore.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div style=\"text-align:center;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<p><a name='more'><\/a><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\">Another scene I had a problem with is also a time lapse scene in a sense and this was during the travel from Nagato to Ako which the movie showed as only having been one day when this would have been a number of day&#8217;s travel, in the novelization by the time Lady Mika arrived in Ako she was already sunburnt and dirty from the day&#8217;s travel and was already wearing men&#8217;s clothes but in the movie, Lady Mika was still in her wedding robes and her hair was a dissaray when the party faced the Shogun which made the scene a bit comical.\u00a0<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\">I also have a bit of a qualm with the young Kai&#8217;s supposed scars on his head which just looked like a cat scratched his head. I imagined the scars as having been more gruesome if not elaborate, a Tengu wouldn&#8217;t scratch like a cat after all right ?<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\">While Keanu Reeves&#8217; Kai gave a &#8220;so-so&#8221; performance and was not really a strong presence on the screen. I can&#8217;t say the same for Rinko Kikuchi&#8217;s shape shifting witch, Mitsuke. Seeing her act all bitchy and crazy had me applauding and remembering that she did get a nomination nod for her portrayal of a deaf girl in <i>Babel<\/i>. Her presence on screen was very captivating.

I remember my thoughts on seeing Mitsuke&#8217;s serpent form slither away, looking at it from your seat in the cinema you would think that it was an actual serpent slithering away.\u00a0<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\">I give a movie a thumbs up and recommend that you watch this Japanese classic with a modern twist with your loved ones and friends. And if you&#8217;re hooked enough I also suggest that you pick up the novelization of the movie. You would definitely appreciate the scenes which were not included in the movie.\u00a0<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\">There are many great scenes to watch out for and all of it better suited if you watch in the cinema.

style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\">But aside from the beautiful scenes and the amazing action sequences &#8217;47 Ronin&#8217; is about the story of loyalty, honor and love, virtues and values we tend to forget and take for granted these days.\u00a0<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;\">One wrong move I
