All throughout this movie I kept wondering if it was truly live-action or if it was just exceptionally well-done animation and to this day I still don't know which is true. Film review: Enter the Fat Dragon (2020) by Kenji Tanigaki, Film Review: Re:Born (2016) by Yuji Shimomura, Retired?

Shinobi is an amazing movie with a great cast of characters, a good storyline, and quality production value.

I love/loved this movie and it always brings a tear to my eye. In a time of war, when occupation turns to genocide, one woman choose resistance over death and takes on the empire of Japan. Ishikawa Goemon (Ichikawa Raizo), a talented young ninja, becomes ensnared in a twisted scheme to assassinate Oda Nobunaga, an evil warlord bent on ruling feudal Japan with an iron fist. In 1614, the Lord of the Lords is convinced that the clans are dangerous threats for keeping peace in his lands, and his advisor plots a Machiavellian plan to destroy their best warriors in a contest. Video availability outside of United States varies. The story is an adaptation of Futaro Yamada's novel The Kouga Ninja Scrolls, which depicts the clash between two ninja clans, Iga and Kouga, and the fated love between Gennosuke (Kouga) and Oboro (Iga). A deadly weapon in her own right, she learns the gruesome truth about the death of her beloved mother and joins forces with a mysterious rebel leader. Directed by Ten Shimoyama. The story is an adaptation of the novel, The Kouga Ninja Scrolls by Futaro Yamada, which depicts the clash between two ninja clans, Iga and Kouga, and the fated love between Gennosuke (Koga) and Oboro (Iga). Shinobi: Heart Under Blade We will send a new password to your email. The theme song of this movie was "HEAVEN" by Ayumi Hamasaki. Around 1614, Tokugawa Ieyasu, the ruler of Japan and the founder of the Tokugawa Shogunate, perceives the threat posed by the two clans. Even the main pair felt a bit empty, and perhaps some more exploration into their feelings would have built their characters more. Gennosuke and Oboro's love is made even more impossible when they each got picked as the leader of the five to represent their respective villages. At an annual conference with the Lord, it is dictated that a competition--a fight to the death--will take place between the five best shinobi from each village. Moved profoundly by Oboro, Ieyasu withdraws his armies and issues an injunction to protect the ninja villages. With Yukie Nakama, Joe Odagiri, Tomoka Kurotani, Erika Sawajiri. A solid storyline, a credible acting that makes you believe that the fantastic, supernatural skills might be real. Is there an English subtitle for that movie? Copyright © gomovies.ltd.

I am not big into martial arts and I expected to be bored out of my mind while watching this, but I was quickly sucked in to the intricate, multi-layered story line.

Both clans live hidden in the woods and mountain without confrontation and without training ninjas in the shadow art of Shinobi.

It owes an awful lot to anime, and it is indeed based on one. Even though Gennosuke and Oboro are from rival ninja villages, they are secretly in love. With Yukie Nakama, Joe Odagiri, Tomoka Kurotani, Erika Sawajiri.
