Review Shogun Spoiler
I also loved the book and the Chamberlain movie. I am quite tempted to watch it even though my bro checked out…
TY 🌸😊

Blackthorne took a backseat in this drama. The “romance” also did. But honestly, with this actor it might have been for the best. It also felt like they didn’t know how to wrap the story up in the last episode. In any format without Mariko, it lost its luster. She was truly the lynchpin.

One of the reasons I write reviews is to help me remember what I’ve watched. 😄

I watched this a very long time ago - the only thing I remember about it is how gorgeous Shu Qi looked.

Even that 1920’s hairdo couldn’t dim Shu Qi’s light.

Sounds like a very spiritual journey.
It was a very calming film watching people so deeply committed to their beliefs and exercising them in a way that wasn’t harmful to others. While there was hope for personal merit the whole purpose of the pilgrimage was to pray for others. And the scenery was stunning.

MAX has the film divided into two parts just as it was originally released. If you watched on YT or elsewhere. Part 1 ends when Oishi’s wife and two children leave him as he watches them go.

Title The 47 Ronin
The total run time is around 4 hours for the whole story. This is the first part released in 1941. MDL also lists the second part released in 1942. MAX has them broken down into two parts if you are looking for a way to watch separately.

I feel nothing but pity for anyone trying to adapt LOCH for a movie! I didn't realize you don't know the story.…
I’ve seen a couple of other movies that referenced the books. I have one of the dramas bookmarked on YT and the books are in my Amazon wishlist. I bounce between countries and genres so much I’m behind in my Condor homework. 😄. I promise to get on it after my marathon! 🫡

Doesn’t bode well for me. I’m not a big fan of American police procedurals. 😄
