a strange movie and i must say . but before i go into the movie itself and i feel the need to talk about the case . that why i actually buy this movie and originally . because the case be so . pretty . and quentin tarantino name on it seal the deal for me . the cover design be so well do and beautiful and artistic and many other synonym of those and which provide the perfect segue into the movie itself . it start out with and of all people and quentin tarantino . the background be noticeably fake and a setting sun over the horizon paint onto a backdrop . i be a bit take aback and at first and and i never really understood why and but i roll with it . with the first word speak and however and it become painfully apparent what this movie main problem would be . you see and despite the fact that almost all of the cast use japanese a their primary language ( i haven not verify this and but it pretty obvious ) and the filmmaker and takashi miike and shoot the whole thing in english . thankfully and there be subtitle and but the lack of understandable speech present a great barrier . it basically the story of two clan and the heike and lead by kiyomori or henry ( kōichi satō ) and and the genji and lead by yoshitsune ( yūsuke iseya ) and that be battle over a town for a fabled treasure . a mysterious stranger ( hideaki ito ) roll into town and much like clint eastwood in those old movie that we love oh so much . this be a beautifully do movie and with many breathtaking scene and excite and lovable character ( for the most part ) and and plenty of blood and gore . oh and and a rape and so keep the kiddy away from this one .
