47 Ronin (1994 Film)
is a 1994 Japanese film directed by Kon Ichikawa. The film is another version of the ''Chūshingura'', the story of the revenge of the forty-seven rōnin of Ako against Lord Kira. Plot The story of the forty-seven ''rōnin'' has been depicted in many ways, with each version focusing the emphasis on different parts of the story: the rivalry of Lords Asano and Kira, Asano's assault on Kira, Asano's sentence of ''seppuku'' immediately afterward, and the revenge attack twenty-one months later against Kira by the forty-seven loyal retainers. Oishi Kuranosuke, Asano's chamberlain and the head of the 47 ''samurai'', is often the primary character, and his actions are often held up as the epitome of ''bushido'', the honor code of the samurai. In this telling, the emphasis is on the preparation for and the attack on Kira's castle. The immediate reactions to Lord Asano's assault on Lord Kira are shown in flashback, and Lord Asano and the actual assault are barely shown at all. Unlike othe ...

47 Ronin (2013 Film)
''47 Ronin'' is a 2013 American historical fantasy action film directed by Carl Rinsch in his sole theatrical directorial effort. Written by Chris Morgan and Hossein Amini from a story conceived by Morgan and Walter Hamada, the film is a work of ''Chūshingura'' ("The Treasury of Loyal Retainers"), a fictionalized account of the forty-seven rōnin, a real-life group of masterless samurai in 18th-century Japan who avenged the death of their daimyō Asano Naganori by battling his rival Kira Yoshinaka. Starring Keanu Reeves in the lead role along with Hiroyuki Sanada, Tadanobu Asano, Rinko Kikuchi and Ko Shibasaki, the film bears little resemblance to its historical basis compared to previous adaptations, and instead serves as a stylized interpretation set "in a world of witches and giants." Development on the film began in 2008 with Rinsch, who has previously filmed "visual and stylish" commercials for various companies, signing on to direct the following year. After five Jap ...
