I will search for you through a thousand worlds and ten thousand lifetimes until I find you.
He's an orphan, an outsider who was in love with the princess. But it was an impossible
love, he could never be with her being an outsider- a half breed.
He's an outcast who is brought in and accepted over the course of the film by Awishi who
is effectively his adopted brother. Find your envy and hatred.
It's the story of revenge between Awishi against Lord Kira who was the cause of the death of
his master.
I'm able to discern the witch craft, I know what that is, I have that ability.
We need your help. Taking a lot of characters and mythology that
was already in Japanese culture and bringing it to life on the big screen in a way that
certainly the western audience haven't seen.
Obviously he is a movie star, we know him from all the big movies he has made but he
is also just an incredibly insincerely good man and incredibly intelligent.
I bring in this kind of element of a watching samurai, learning the tengiu sword techniques
and the pit fighting techniques.
He learnt samurai style technique from me and I learn survival, real fighting from him.
He is my brother. I've never had a brother before but I've got a brother now.
None of us knows how long he shall live. He's got a responsibility playing Awishi, it's
no joke that role. Oh my god, in Hollywood, in English, playing
Awishi. Old style movie making, classical stuff, big
sets, lots of people, extras, costumes, lights, cameras, action.
47 Ronin has history, has inspiration for the valor of those men but view it through
the eyes of a fantasy- and a fantasy that is grounded on Japanese mythology.
This is the best way to telling the story and to introduce our culture to the world.
It's about honor, it's about revenge, it's about sacrifice. In this journey, he becomes
to be accepted which I think is a story that a lot of people can relate to. (My Father
told me, this world is only a preparation for the next. That all we can ask is that
we leave it having loved and being loved).
