He’s on a quest to avenge him by any means necessary.
He’s very cool and charismatic but weighed down by a heavy heart due to the betrayal of his master. He just exudes this badassery that makes me want to fight alongside him. Now the person who truly stands out in 47 Ronin is Hiroyuki Sanada as Oishi. He knows he can never have a peaceful life with Mika and that he will always be an outsider looking in. Keanu Reeves fares well in the limited screen time he’s allotted as the conflicted Kai. You have giant ogre’s engaging in pit fighting arenas for gambling pirates along with shape shifting witches, owl men with super powers, and giant samurais in metal armor laying waste to everything in their path. In 47 Ronin mystical beasts and sorcery inhabit the world. The scale is enormous and it really does play as a Lord of the Rings meets 12 Assassins. This film, after all, is 2-years in the making. Yes, the story is somewhat thin, but who know if that could have been beefed up with the untold footage that was supposedly shot. It’s got plenty of action, gorgeous costumes, cinematography, etc. I would say that underneath it all 47 Ronin is not a bad film at all.
Yeah, it’s complicated in that respect, I guess. He’s also in love with Lord Asano’s daughter Mika (Ko Shibasaki). Kai is the interloper character, because he’s obviously different and has a secret. These masterless samurai have to get revenge on the person who betrayed their master. The legend basics of 47 Ronin are pretty simple mechanics. He’s has to track down Kai, because the Kai he knew is no more. Oishi (Hiroyuki Sanada) who was Lord Asano’s right hand man and confidant takes up he mantle as the “mentor-leader” of the now formed 47 Ronin, but first things first. This is the catalyst that sets off the coming chain of events, because once the master and clan are disgraced death awaits. During a tournament with the visiting Shogun (Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa), Lord Asano is corrupted by a witch (Rinko Kikuchi) and almost kills Lord Asano’s rival Lord Kira of Nagato (Tadanobu Asano). Some years later, Kai (Keanu Reeves), now a man, tried to do good by his clan who took him in instead of leaving him to do die out in the forest. Kai is looked down by some of the other clansmen, because he’s obviously not one of them. In this Lord of the Ring’s scale of a film Kai is a “half breed” taken in by a sympathetic Lord Ako (Min Tanaka) and raised in the easy of samurai.
Kai becomes their most deadly weapon and the heroic inspiration for these outnumbered warriors to confront their enemy and seize eternity.Ĥ7 Ronin, the film, is fantastical remaining of he famous Japanese legend of the “Revenge of the 47 Ronin,” where 47 masterless (Samurai without masters are called Ronin) team up to avenge the death of their master. This band of ronin must seek help from Kai (Reeves)-an enslaved half-breed they once rejected-in their ultimate fight for redemption in a savage world of mythic and wondrous terrors. After a treacherous warlord kills their master and banishes their kind, 47 leaderless samurai vow to seek vengeance and reclaim their honor. Keanu Reeves stars in the action-adventure epic, 47 Ronin.
