This is a Japanese film that I think is very good, adapted from the famous manga "Koga Ninja Post" by Futaro Yamada. Before, I have never watched the anime and manga versions, and I have a very shallow understanding of Japanese ninja culture. My impression of ninjas only stays in the cartoon "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" I watched as a child and some later movies such as "Kill Bill". The ninja character in the album, as well as the lyrics and MV of the song "Ninja" in Jay Chou's "Fantasy" album, there is probably such a concept that ninjas always dress in black (probably because it is easy to hide their actions at night), Able to fly over eaves and walls, use darts, samurai swords and other weapons more. For the task assigned by the master, only success is allowed, not failure.



The film tells the story of the generational feud between the two factions of the Tokugawa Ieyasu era, Koga and Iga. After the ninjas conquered the land for Tokugawa Ieyasu, due to the disagreement between the leaders of the two factions who were lovers, the two sides have been hostile for thousands of years. Then, for peace, the two sides signed an agreement. Home, chickens and dogs know each other, and they have nothing to do with each other, but regularly select masters for competition. However, after Tokugawa Ieyasu ruled the world, he was worried that the ninjas with extraordinary ninjutsu would one day become his confidants and endanger the dominance of his family, so he tried every means to get rid of them. He sow discord and set them to fight, removing one of them first and then the other, and while they fought, he sent troops to level their settlements.
Helpless, in order to be loyal to the order, the two sides each selected five masters with unique skills to fight to the death. The Koga faction assigns the leader's grandson, Xunnosuke (played by Oda Kirito) to lead the team, while the Iga faction is led by the granddaughter of the leader (Nakama Yukie).
However, Gennosuke Kazuo, who are descendants of a feud, fell in love without knowing each other's identities, and the cruel reality drove them to make a choice. Under the pressure of the family mission, in the dilemma between loyalty and love, they reluctantly accepted the task and led their subordinates to fight to the death with their beloved!
The samurai on both sides tried their best to kill their opponents. Finally, after a few rounds, the two sides were tied, leaving only their respective leaders, Gennosuke and Oboro, the tragic lovers. In the dusty desert, Hao rushed towards Xenosuke with swords in both hands, Xinzhisuke closed his eyes, looked calm, didn't dodge, just said "It's good to know you!". The tip of the sword passed through Gennosuke's body, he fell, and the blood turned red on his clothes...
Oboro came to the shogunate to petition, asking the shogun's house to let his villagers go, and to ensure that the ninjas would not Become the enemy of the general's mansion, and finally, for the sake of national stability and peace, and for the safety of the villagers, Hao stretched out his fingers and dug out his eyes with the highest pupil technique - the magic pupil...
The film itself The story isn't strong, and the plot of falling in love with the offspring of an enemy (similar to "Romeo and Juliet") is pretty cliché, but the film's other strengths are more than enough to cover up this flaw. The director is the famous Xia Tianshan, and the director of "Tokyo Chapter" in the Sino-Japanese co-movie "About Love". In order to show a gorgeous and fantastic atmosphere, the film has made great efforts in art, photography and special effects. It can almost be said to be a live-action CG animation, with magical skills and the power to destroy the dead. The male and female protagonists Oda Kirito and Nakama Yukie are popular movie stars in Japan. They not only have a pleasing appearance, but also have very skilled acting skills. They are definitely the perfect candidates for expressing the character of the task. As for the theme song, the Japanese singer Hamachi Ayumi was invited to provide the icing on the cake.
Actor introduction:

Oda Kirito

I'm currently watching his drama "The Statutory Police", and his movie "Rainbow Home for the Elderly" is in my upcoming viewing plan.

Nakama Yukie's
image is fresh, the lovely Nakama Yukie

- if I read it correctly, she once served as the spokesperson for Shiseido (Shiseido), or the heroine of an advertisement. She has fair skin and is very beautiful!
"Shinobi" is the masterpiece of the heroine Yukie Nakama's costume action peak. Her popularity has skyrocketed. She is one of the few popular actresses who takes into account both beauty and acting skills. In addition to the super-popular Japanese drama "Gokudo Freshman 2" this year, which has achieved super high ratings in Japan, surpassing the starring Japanese dramas starring two popular actresses like Nanako Matsushima and Yuko Takeuchi, she recently hosted a TV show on TV Asahi. In the "Artist Favorability Survey" voting activity, she defeated rivals such as Hitomi Kuroki and Nanako Matsushima to win the championship, and became the first choice actress in ratings and audience relationship. In addition, she will also serve as the 2007 NHK's annual period drama girl The protagonist, this shows that her popularity index is high and her charm is irresistible. In "Ninja Shinobi", Nakama Yukie also plays the heir to the Iga ninjutsu master who has a heavy responsibility Her deadly weapon has the so-called "Eyes of Destruction". When she uses the power of electric eye, the enemy will be shocked and die due to the rupture of the internal organs. Because of fate's trick, she fell in love with the heir of the Koga family, who had always been feuding with her ninja family. Gennosuke, played by Odagiri Joo, was lingering in love, but forced by reality, she had to use a unique trick to start a showdown. , aroused the curiosity of fans, in the end who will win the battle between two people with high martial arts skills? Will there be a turnaround? It made people have to break a cold sweat, and also shed tears of sympathy for their poor experience!
"Shinobi" is the second collaboration between Yukie Nakama and Ryo Odagiri after the Japanese drama "Yan: Super Sensitive Policewoman". At the film press conference a few days ago, Nakama Yukie said: "SHINOBI is an excellent and wonderful work. I am very honored to be able to participate in the performance. In the film, there is an unpredictable scene from sunrise to sunset in the dunes. The beautiful scenes and the picturesque and picturesque pictures make me deeply fascinated, and I believe that no matter the plot or the scene, everyone will be moved." And the actor Oda Kiri said modestly: "Although I am a fan of martial arts action and love scenes. I’m not very good at all, but on the stage I’m not good at, I can usually show a different side than I used to, which is what I ask of myself.” Although Odagiri said that he had a headache for love scenes, but based on his previous Judging from the chemical reaction with Yukie Nakama in "Yan: Super Sensitive Policewoman", I believe that the two male and female protagonists who choose between love and mission in the film definitely have brilliant sparks.
Erika Sawajiri
is very powerful. It is said that when she first debuted, she acted as an AV actress and published a photo album. Later, with her well-behaved appearance and charming and lovely smiling face, she successfully transformed herself into a new generation of Japanese drama queens. Last year's winter Japanese drama "One Liter of Tears" starred her, and the ratings were extremely high; and this year's TBS drama "Song of the Sun" is also co-starring her and Yamada Takayuki. It seems that if you have the strength, no matter what your background is, you can still be famous!
