Tribute to the 47 Ronin

A great movie with all imaginable letters. A reference and a great tribute to the 47 Ronin, not that of Keanu Reeves thing, but the true 47 Ronin of Mizoguchi and Kunio Watanabe. Thanks to producers by these 2h unforgettable.

What movie show, incredibly moving and full of tension. An excellent script, flawless performances where Clive Owen and Morgan Freeman join a sensational group, putting on a show. A costume height, splendid photography and history too touching. I loved it. sure twisted by another end, picked me up by surprise, leaving me half perplexed, but what a wonderful film. Of course I recommend without doubt.
