47 Ronin (2013)
Amazing, beautiful version of amazing story
Beliefs are the 47 Ronin legend is real, and I have seen the burial sites online. This is a more entertaining theatrical version. The color, the cinematic tone is gorgeous. It of course has more thrills and witchcraft than the original or many say true story, but movie goers don't want a repeat of a drab very sad story.
The comments about Keanu Reeves are so wrong. How dare he play a half-breed. He is a half-breed. He is Hawaiian, chinese and American by way of Canada. He was the perfect choice, looks the part and does an amazing job, better than other roles he has taken.
The love story shown is done so sweet with the naive and traditionally stifled princess to the king. She is petite, head lower than all others, scurrying behind father at all times, but falls for this half breed her father found abandoned in the woods, fearing for his life near death.
The movie was made clearly more dramatic than the actual events. However, it was done so perfectly and beautifully. I disagree with many of the critics and think they need to watch it. Maybe one more time. The entire cast was amazing what a surprise by the original long duck dong from 16 candles.
Wahl Street (2021)
Interesting
It was interesting to see someone with money and multiple businesses that you think couldn't be affected, suffer and struggle as the rest of the world due to the pandemic. For the days we feel it's just the lower middle income families having the hardest time, we are so wrong. It was truthful, sweet and sad. Can't wait for season 2.
Destination Wedding (2018)
Very good for movie lovers
An hour & one half of only 2 characters in a Whitty compilation of criticism and banter. I could have never done what they did. If you like a story based on conversation and discussion, this is great. They both did amazing jobs.
