If you loved The Last Ronin, try The Fall of Ako Castle
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.

What The Fall of Ako Castle is
You serve the Asano clan in feudal Japan. Your lord is forced to commit seppuku, and his lands are seized. But forty-seven loyal samurai plot revenge against a corrupt official. Fukasaku's widescreen epic of honor and sacrifice remains a touchstone.
