47 Ronin | Keanu Reeves Battles a Kirin

Kai (Keanu Reeves) takes on the Kirin-a mythical horned beast-with just a sword.
Keanu Reeves stars in the 3D action-adventure epic 47 Ronin. After a treacherous warlord kills their master and banishes their kind, 47 leaderless samurai vow to seek vengeance and reclaim their honor. 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. Kai becomes their most deadly weapon and the heroic inspiration for these outnumbered warriors to confront their enemy and seize eternity.

This guy's character doesn't change, even his voice tone and facial expression. He is so feared by many in his movies!

[@0megacron]

Cool Fact: According to Japanese mythology, the appearance of a Kirin is said to herald the death or passing of a ruler. So this scene wasn't just a nifty action piece showing off Kai's skills - it was also foreshadowing the events to come.

[@applepie4287]

Thanks for the fun fact. Out of curiosity is there any difference between a Chinese kirin and a Japanese one or did the Japanese just copy paste the Chinese one? Also where did you learn this I'm interested in learning more

[@0megacron]

@@applepie4287 I looked up "Qirin" on wikipedia, 'cuz I wanted to see if the monster design was something they made up just for the movie. Turns out it's reasonably close to ancient drawings. As for Japanese vs Chinese... when you go far enough back, it's the same civilization & myths.

Love this movie. It's great entertainment to just get lost in. It IS based on a true story, minus the monsters & witchcraft. Historical accuracy isn't important in this kind of movie. It is a fantasy, so just let it be what it is!

@@ferise1 What's your trouble, Bubble ?? Didn't like the movie ??

[@normanlee6609]

@@pizzaman5169 ..."seems dumb af" most Japanese in Japan felt the same way ferise1 does as expressed in very poor box office sales. And that was the prelude to world wide poor box offices declaring this version of 47 Ronin a Hollywood flop. You're in the minority of people who did enjoy this version, but not enough to make it box office success. If this was a total fiction instead of being based on a Japanese beloved historical event it might have done better. For example, if it was a total fiction crafted from a non-Japanese perspective ( the Yokai was expressed in non-Japanese terms) the final scene of the Ronin committing seppuku could be avoided. From what I heard that was the most unsettling scene for most non-Japanese. A happy ending just might have made this version a box office success

[@pizzaman5169]

@@normanlee6609 It's just a movie. Of course there is a lot of fantasy, magic & demons in a movie like this. There are thousands of movies made just like this & it's been going on for decades. They take a true story & make a movie out of it & they use "poetic license" of sorts to embellish the story to make it more interesting because using just the true story would be boring. Have you seen the original B&W 1941 version & also a 1994 version?? People need to learn to just sit & watch a movie, any movie, strictly for enjoyment & when they've watched, they either like it or they don't. Picking up on real mistakes, like like someone in a scene wearing sneakers or a cowboy hat. When there is fantasy, just sit back & enjoy it. Movies like Avatar or Star Wars are fantasy, but nearly everyone liked them. In essence, watch what you like because your own opinion is all that matters.

[@normanlee6609]

@@pizzaman5169 ....yes, I have the pleasure of seeing both the AD1941 and the AD1994 versions and enjoyed both. Both express the Japanese mindset well. So you think they're boring? If you personally think so.....OK. As you enjoyed the 2013 version there are those who do not share your opinion. And you are correct that one's own opinion is all that matters which is why I wonder why you need to justify why you enjoy this movie and criticize others who disagree with you, whatever their individual criteria is. If you are truly secure in your opinion then as you claim opposing opinions are irrelevant. Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations yields Truth and Beauty.
