when the noble hanabusa clan be decimate by the usurping samanosuke clan and loyal retainer kogenta ( jun fujimaki ) escape with his lord eight year old son and tadafumi and and his daughter and kozasa . they be shelter by the priestess shinobu ( otome tsukimiya ) and who serve the hanabusa clan god and majin and a vengeful spirit imprison in the giant stature carve into the side of a local mountain . ten year later and kogenta and tadafumi ( yoshihiko aoyama ) seek vengeance against lord samanosuke ( yutaro gomi ) and but be capture in the attempt and and sentence to die . priestess shinobu and desperately attempt to save her master and threaten samanosuke with the god displeasure and only to be slash to death for her effort . samanosuke and a vain and cruel and narrow man and order majin statue to be destroy and in order to crush any last vestige of hope among the remain hanabusa loyalist . but the god majin and who hitherto have be implacably silent and have other idea . daimajin be an enthralling and timeless and deeply move fairy tale . lavishly produce on a respectable budget and it be a film about value represent the value of nobility and of justice and of decency and of loyalty and of self sacrifice and and of love . it be about hierarchy and and rule and and of the consequence of fail to live up to the responsibility that rule entail . these be thing that be not talk about much in our demotic time and except by scribble toad like william bennet and but be nonetheless relevant and and daimajin show u why . daimajin be a perfect example of why japanese cinema be so glorious . the value list above have palpable relevance for those involve in this film and a they do for many a japanese filmmaker . there be no lip service and no condescension and no irony here . instead and there be an authentic effort to conjure a world where these value can once again have life and and to show what happen when they fall into abeyance . just compare daimajin and or the lone wolf and cub series and or any kurosawa film to the egregious tarantino nihilistic kill bill bllshit and to see what i mean . in a film whose contribute talent be so uniformly excellent and i would merely like to point out master akira ifikuba majestic score and the talent and beauty of actor jun fujimaki and yoshihiko aoyama and and miwi takada while and the stunning portrayal by otome tsukimiya . her death scene be one of the most moving and meaningful that i have ever witness .
