Plot summary

This is the story of "The Forty-Seven Ronin." Based on historical events in 1701-2, the movie tells the tale of the Asano clan's downfall and the revenge of its former samurai on the perpetrator of the catastrophe. Lord Asano was goaded, or tricked, into drawing his sword inside the Shogun's palace -- a crime which carried the death penalty. The newly installed Shogun was furious at Asano and ordered all his clan's assets seized, meaning some 20,000 samurai and commoners were unemployed and landless at a stroke. Forty-seven of these ronin (masterless samurai) banded together to take attempt revenge on Lord Kira, who had goaded Asano into drawing his sword.

I've watched 4 versions of Ch?shingura (47 ronin) including Reeve's silly Hollywood remake, but this one, is the best. Sonny Chiba's performance is undisputed.

In watching this we confronted two things: the story itself, and the film. Cinema is a familiar language: action, meaning, character, story, dialogue. We understand the language of narrative progression, cutting, montage. We see the story. Then there's the story itself, in this case the central story of Japan, the great tale of the 47 Samurai. It's puzzling, especially to our culture, I think, when it seems violence is venerated to a point of being a religion, or at least a code of conduct. Imagine if Jesus before allowing himself to be sacrificed first decided to hand-kill his enemies and a religion was based on a code of personal vengeance. The righteousness of revenge, then self-sacrifice, is unmistakeably upheld in this story. What is wonderful to consider are the questions this idea raises, not only for ourselves, but also for everyone in the world. If anyone can demonstrate a sense to this very human impulse it is the Japanese in this story, and perhaps Shakespeare. Revenge followed by death, in all the bloodiest terms, as a positive value. We loved this movie because there is a nobility in the treatment, a refinement of feeling unsurpassed. As with Japanese water colors, the lines are slender and clear, and unmistakeable, and the meaning resonates when all the lines are drawn out across the canvas of the film and the whole play is done. Cinematography was lovely, the violence, when it happened, brutal(though nothing resembling Fukasaku's Battles Without Honor and Humanity films about the rise of the yakuza). The characters easy to love and the questions raised were profound. It's a story worth revisiting many times, as it has been done since it happened in actuality in the 1700s. The most puzzling and intriguing thing of all, perhaps, is the entire code of conduct revealed by the story, a code of action that surpasses the authority of the Shogun, a code that, at least in principle, seeks to preserve dignity and honor for warriors, and in some cases, non-warriors. And as with all warrior codes there is a downside, and perhaps Kobayashi's films show us some of that, or the evolution of the samurai ideology into factions of yakuza in the modern era, the degeneration of values, the unmasking of the higher principle to reveal corruption hiding behind the noble face. There's a bit of that in the story itself, and in Fukasaku's treatment. Yet the noblest examples of these ideals are compelling examples, and we were transfixed throughout all the discussions and political intrigues leading to the final action, the alliances, the despair and hope and drama, and in our hearts we were with them. It is compelling and vivifying to partake of such complex and rich ideas that influence and guide so many lives and raise such intriguing and deep questions. To see other cultures pull away the visible front of authority and find a gap between word and deed, and in the struggle seek the strengthen the code itself, and perhaps succeed. Fascinating. And then there's Sonny Chiba kicking ass. That's pretty cool too.
