Keanu is very handsome. In ancient Japan, because he was of mixed Eurasian blood and looked white, he was racially discriminated against and regarded as a monster. Only the princess likes him, who made the two of them the hero and heroine?
The princess is a big vase. that's all.
The witch is more interesting, and the eyeliner will be more seductive if it is drawn in a different way. It looks like a panda in here.
The leader of the team, General Oishi (this pronunciation is still too happy, although there is one i missing, the first time I heard it, I laughed rudely) It seems that he likes to say "I need your help", so he successfully recruited soldiers , into the city. What a great personal charm.
Oishi's son is a little bit like Takeshi Kaneshiro, and like the princess, he happily played soy sauce.
The shape of the clothes is very beautiful. The big round collar of the princess and the white cut belly clothes of the warriors are swaying against the wind. I don't know if they have iron wire or they are over-washed. Or the witch's green flower dress is more comfortable to wear. The men's fighting styles are a bit of a combination of things, with boots on the lower body and short kimonos on the upper body, which is very stylish.
The story is familiar, but since you have the ability to bring this famous story to the screen again, you have to be a little new, right? The problem is that after watching the entire film, an old-fashioned atmosphere blows in, and several points that can be played well are not very good. The "Pirates of the Caribbean" on the ship, "The Lord of the Rings" in the forest, and "The Storm" in the castle.
Take the last duel as an example, the tall man in black armor who appeared at the beginning of the enemy could show off his stunts well, but he didn't expect it to be blown up so easily. Did he have no money to do it after fighting the witch? The stereotyped historical and cultural elements of many Asian and European societies are also quite depressing to watch. (After reading the news below, I finally understand what it means to burn money without a plan.)
The Japanese accented English is quite easy to understand, and I am impressed by the Japanese actors.

Mtime reported on December 29th that the action film "Forty-Seven Ronin" starring Keanu Reeves and directed by Carl Rising had landed in the United States on Christmas Day, but the box office was very bad. The box office was bleak, and it's very likely that all of the film's revenue could only help Universal recoup its promotional costs.
On North American screens, the film grossed $10.7 million in its first two days. It made $7 million on Christmas Day, which was not bad, but dropped 48% the next day, placing it in eighth place on the list. Industry insiders expect the film's first five days to fall in the range of 20 million to 21 million, with total revenue hardly exceeding $65 million.
Internationally, the overseas box office of "Forty-seven Ronin" has now reached 12.8 million US dollars. Compared with the production cost of 175 million US dollars and the publicity cost of tens of millions of dollars, this dismal box office number may only help Universal to recover the publicity cost, and the shooting cost may be completely lost. It is estimated that the film will cost the world $175 million.
According to analysis, there are many reasons for today's bleak ending at the box office. The most important is the unreliable shooting process of Karl Rising, a director who has zero experience in commercials and big productions. It is reported that Carl Rising appeared to be very creative in the early stage of the preparation of "Forty-seven Ronin", but as the filming continued to advance, his performance surprised the world. Under Lissin's operation, cost overruns and delays in release have become commonplace.
What's even more amazing is that Keanu Reeves' role is so small that it doesn't match his absolute starring status, and he even missed the most important battle at the end of the film. Universal reluctantly deprived the director of the final editing rights and decided to reshoot Keanu's scene. Donna Langley, president and co-chairman of Universal Pictures, personally supervised the post-production of the project until its final release. Carl Rising was said to have come close to directing "Prometheus" before, but Ridley Scott decided to take it personally.
However, "Forty-seven Ronin" lost 175 million US dollars, and has not yet been able to sit on the top spot of the annual loss-making film. It was preceded by The Lone Ranger, which cost Disney $190 million.
