I watched this movie because of Keanu Reeves. It is said that he is of Chinese descent. Sure enough, he is very similar to Asians. He plays Japanese and is of mixed blood, so there is no sense of disobedience.
From a few shots, you can tell it's a Hollywood production.
In addition, the heroine in this film is really average. No way, the whole film speaks English, maybe not many beautiful Japanese actresses can speak English, maybe Westerners have a very unique aesthetic.
Kai, played by Reeves, ran out of a mysterious place and was taken away by a feudal lord. Because he was not a samurai, no one cared about him, except for the feudal lord's daughter who was very affectionate to him. The general of the Tokugawa shogunate came to visit, probably because the feudal lord was bewitched by the witch and tried to kill the general's son, which should be the son. It seems that I was careless enough. So the general asked the lord to commit suicide to preserve his reputation and family. And let his son take over the place and marry the daughter of the feudal lord a year later. Next is the scene of rescuing the heroine, and I'm still watching it.
The ancient Japanese armor is just like the Japanese, exaggerated, and seeing the armor in this movie makes me feel familiar. Chen Kaige's costume design in Wujili seems to be made by the Japanese, which is much better than here. And there is also Sanada Hiroyuki in Wuji. This movie is not bad, it is worth watching, that is, entertainment in general. Some of the values of the Japanese can be seen from it.
You said, how would the Japanese react if they saw this movie. I think it will definitely be the same as when we watch foreigners make Chinese movies, and feel that there are many mistakes and many feel wrong. One of Liu Yifei's movies is about to act in a movie with Nicolas Cage. It's about a princess in distress in ancient times. I watched the trailer, and the Chinese all spoke fluent English and acted, which was very exciting. Maybe it's because too few Hollywood films come to China now. It'll be good when we get used to the Chinese speaking English in movies.
What I don't understand is why the Japanese like to cut belly so much. There are also people watching for you. If you can't die, you will beheaded directly. The name is the wrong person. After watching it, the ending made me appreciate this movie even more. In the end, it is said that the end of revenge is an ordinary ending, a big reunion, but the general came out and said, why do you want revenge if you are not allowed to take revenge? Except for your son who retains the bloodline, everyone else committed suicide by caesarean section. That alone makes it a notch above the average movie. From the unreasonable place, the Japanese character can be found.
