Hana: The Tale of a Reluctant Samurai
Japanese, English Subtitles
2005, 125 Minutes
5 Stars
Rainy Day was quite surprised when she started watching this DVD. The background story is about the 47 Ronin of the previous movie she watched. This tells the story of a young Samurai, who's father's death wish is for his son to seek revenge, and kill the man who killed him. The young man is torn. He is a low ranking Samurai, sworn to commit revenge, and really wants only to teach young children, and any one else who wants to learn, to read and write. The people in this movie are interesting and likable, and Rainy Day sat spell-bound waiting to see how the young man would resolve his situation. A good movie to see how the poor lived versus the usual well-off Samurai and Daimyo. A movie of peace, community and humanity.
