47 Ronin: The Movie 2013

For me, this movie is the most amazing movie since "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon". Even though 47 Ronin takes place in Japan and Crouching Tiger takes place in ancient China, both have the same kind of magical warrior like honor type of feel to them. In 47 Ronin it is about Samurai who are disgraced who are findng honor even though they know it will lead to their deaths one way or another according to the old Bushido code.

This movie will transport you to another time, another place and definitely to another culture that we don't really live in here in the U.S. It is beautiful, terrifying and amazingly satisfying to view such warriors, such magic and such order which is basically unknown in the present world.

Would I like to live in such a world? Of course not. But, it definitely harkens back to a mythical time when things were like this historically.
