And 47 Ronin

Shõgun was one of my father's favourite books, he read it so many times it was litereally falling apart. I remember when the TV series was showing he was working afternoon shift so I had to sit there and record it for him on the VHS. One funny moment was when I forgot to pause it during a commercial, however it was a commercial for Singapore airlines or something, and the first part of the ad showed a colourful little boat with red sails against a sunset. It fit so well and looked like part of the series he never noticed. Years later the series came out on DVD and he sat through it yet again for the umpteenth time; he's been gone for 16 years so now it's part of my own movie collection. This new version does look good, hopefully it's as good as the trailer.

He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all. Please think deeply about this with urgency because this is your eternal life and soul, you don’t know when you could die, meaning you could die at any moment, so please consider this with all your heart.

If it exists today (it does, from personal and anecdotal experience, one of the first 10 questions I'm asked is about my endowment. The response from the men is, "yeah, that's amazing, but ours are very hard". The response from women varies), it certainly existed back then. It may be annoying that it appears as often in the book just as it comes up often in real life, but it's real. More to the point of respect (with admission that I may be viewing the book through rose tinted glasses as it's been years since I read it), Blacthorne goes on at length, repeatedly, about the organization, cleanliness, and hidden social tactics of the culture. He falls in love with the people and takes on their hearts. It may not sound like respect to some but it does to me. None of that, true or false, would call for a modern revision to satiate the appetites of imaginary modern audiences though, which is the thing I hope doesn't happen.

There is almost nothing about Japanese culture or European culture in either the old series or this one. Almost the entire series pompously tells about the political structure of stunningly cruel feudal Japan against the backdrop of Europe, which is already emerging from feudalism. The book is a look at Japan from the side of a feudal lord. A highly embellished look. Propaganda.

I lived in Japan as a young man. I loved it.

@@darthvadeth6290 It's a remake of a very popular and well done movie series. The series is an adaption of a very good bestseller. And that bestseller based his novel on the historical figure of William Adams. While many events of the series are fictional of course, William Adams WAS the most influential foreigner in Japan of that period, he WAS key advisor of a shogun and he DID become a samurai. And the hype is mostly due to the fact that the original series was very well done but 45 years old. We are just eager so see an updated version with modern technology and budgets. It's certainly more interesting than another installment of John Wick, Fast&Furious or stupid superhero movies. EDIT: I want to add that, since you seem to be not familiar with the material, the story is NOT the usual "westerner goes east and introduces western values and they all love it". Telling the story through the eyes of a westerner is the easiest way to introduce westeners to a culture and period that we aren't familiar with. And this IS all about japanese culture and that period. John Blackthorne (the fictional book version of Adams) isn't converting anyone to become western. He learns to love the culture and ultimately decides to stay there voluntarily. By the end of the story he despises the west and doesn't want any of that anymore. So, no, not the usual tropes.

Hiroyuki Sanada, in my humble opinion, is irreplaceable as an actor and artist. May he live very long and continue to prosper!

One of the favorite movies from my youth; the original Shogun. I certainly MUST see this one!

the series is very good. It completely captivates you. from Hungary

This show needs to come out already

I remember growing up when this show aired, and as a Japanese American who is typically critical of most content. Except, this one looks good because they cast actual Japanese actors, so I can't wait to watch it.

@@greg.peepeeface To be honest, i have not seen it so far. But trailers do look amazing. Albeit, i am a huge fan of the orginal Novel, like i wrote before, "Shogun" from James Clavell, it is t is a really captivating book, FYI. The same goes for "First blood" from David Morell, *if* you do know only the movie "Rambo" with Sylvester Stallone, you might being surprised about the book, and the movie afterwards...and about character development. Back to topic, i really liked Richard Chamberlain into the original 1980 series, also Yoko Shimada, as "Mariko". Needless to say, i am a *huge* fan since when i was a kid, of Toshiro Mifune, he really is an icon, legendary actor.

I am 100% on board with giving this a chance looks great with a cool cast. See you Feb 27th.

No man alive is able to fit in Mifune-san's footsteps. But if someone comes very close, then it's Sanada-san. Love the man since Ujio in Last Samurai. As long time fan (almost 40 years now) of the book and the 80s TV series, I'm looking forward to this one. Goosebumps and tears. Can't wait to meet Toranaga and Blackthorne again!

There are two ways to depict Tokugawa Ieyasu (and by extension, Toranaga) in popular culture: as a charismatic leader that is patient and knows how to wait for the right time and lay down when needed (conceding Hideyoshi to rule Japan after the battles of Komaki and Nagakute) or as a cunning fox that can deal with alliances and politics (rise to power and establishing a shogunate). Toshiro Mifune’s interpretation of Toranaga was the first one, the gentle, and as he is unrivaled it is logical for Sanada to go the other route, the cunning. That way he doesn’t engage in a battle he cannot win against Mifune’s interpretation, give us something original instead of copying the acting we already have from the first Shogun series, and has room to shine for himself and not under another’s shadow.

From the trailer above, it does not look like it. Women beating up men in physical fights? Lady Mariko (the No. 1 woman in the story) was a strong (in character) woman in the original Michener's expansive novel (and a worthy story co-protagonist) but she was not involved in any physical fight with men, let alone win one.

Been reading a manga set in this period called Shigurui -- absolutely brutal and graphic violence, but not in the typical manga/anime way. That's the vibe that this show seems to have from the trailer. It's ironic but unsurprising that it took a western production to capture this kind of tone. Japanese period dramas all typically seem to re-use the same kind of "chanbara" style of action developed in the 50s-70s. Stock sound effects for sword clangs, bright red blood spurting like fountains from a wound (or no blood at all). It's nice to see something that captures the gritty medieval vibe of the Sengoku period, and doesn't shy away from showing the graphic brutality of that era.

In the original series Yabu was played by a famous comedian/funny man in Japan. Seeing him as someone who boiled men alive was a shock to many in Japan. I love the original series and the book is my all time favorite book. The original series did a good job of condensing the story around Blackthorn over three nights to make an intelligible story. With a larger series we will hopefully get more of the story from the book which had to be left out for the original series.

Oh hiroyuki san is here. Imma watch this.

From The Eight Samurai to Shogun Hiroyuki Sanada is the real badass 😎🔥🔥🩵🩵

O M G. First time seeing this trailer and it’s the most excited I’ve been for any show in a long time. It looks so good. Like, you can tell when a show will live up to the trailer. This is one of those ones. The cast is stacked! Plus, FX doesn’t miss. Usually.

I will never miss a Hiroyuki Sanada movie/series. Ever. Never
