american film maker decide to make a film they think be japanese . the character all badly represent and the actor be not even japanese and the set be cheap and unreal and definitely doesn not represent kyoto in early 20ties and 30ties . who ever read the book understand that the script writer do not add any extra value to differentiate the movie from the script . bad and they even change the original plot line with a few goof . rob marshall be use for his two main character two well know chinese actor who join before in crouch tiger hidden dragon . marshall probably saw one chinese movie and tho they represent japanese culture . see those two actor together again even make the movie more ridiculous . quentine tarantino last scene in kill bill # 1 be ten time more japanese make than that of this movie .
