Shinobi:Blade Under Heart

hi~
today i am so free. therefore i log in Mysoju.com to see some movie. my eye caught a glimpse of a movie titled Shinobi. Wondering, i watch it.

here wad its plot about

Set immediately after the Japanese Warring States Period (Sengoku Jidai), Iga and Koga, two ninja clans that produced powerful ninjas for warlords, have been waging a vendetta against each other over hundreds of years.

Around 1614, Tokugawa Ieyasu, the highest ruler of Japan and the founder of the Tokugawa Shogunate , perceived the threat posed by the ninjas of Iga and Koga. Attempting to consolidate his reign, he deliberately stirred up the feud between the two clans by inviting them to choose their five best ninja to fight to death for the sake of glory for each clans. Designated as the leaders of the two clans respectively, Koga Gennosuke (Joe Odagiri) and Oboro (Yukie Nakama), who were secretly married, are unwillingly embroiled in the political plot. Hence, they have to make a difficult decision between their love and clans.Initially, being peaceful and knowing the preciousness of life, they tried their utmost to prevent this meaningless and brutal fight by questioning the shogunate's motives. After the deaths of all their comrades during several fights, however, they gradually accepted their inevitable fate.

The ending is really sad and touching when the Gennosuke and Oboro have a last duel at the sunset of Suruga shore. Painful choice between the future of clans and their love. Gennosuke finally sacrafice himself for the sake of his lover. Oboro then blind herself to beg the leyasu to spare both the ninja clans. The leyasu finally touched by the act of Oboro.

The soundtrack of this movie is magnificent. So sad and wonderful. It really suit each scene of the movie completely. The fite action are also very nice made and CGI is not bad expecially Gennosuke use its special doujutsu to fite under the full moon nite. His eyes power can slow time around him. Render him moving normally in others slow mo. Luckily he didn wanna fight as he believe in harmony together, or else he had pwn all. Nice movie, recommended for everyone. All may see it at mysoju.com.
