Ran (1985)

Japanese honor, war & drama at it`s best. Ran is the story about an old lord and his three sons; he`s getting old, so he wants to share his lands, castles and power between them. In return, his only wish is to live in the castle of each of his sons, as their honored guest, for the rest of his days. Off course that do not work out very well, as new gained power has it way to corrupt people. But as they say, "there ain`t no problem you can`t fix with a samurai sword!"

For those of you that have seen Japanese films before, you might know how hard it is to write a review on them, because theres so much happening, so many names etc. I`m not even going to try to write more of a summary than I`ve allready done, that would take all night. Besides, I really feel like sleeping now haha.

Asian movies really ain`t my thing, but this one I kinda liked. I can`t put my finger on it, not shure what it was, but I liked what I saw. A must-see for those of you who don`t like Japanese films; maybe this one`ll change that.

The dice: (It`s more like a 4.5, really.)
