The movie itself is taken from the popular japanese tv series of the same name which is also taken from the manga comic and was made in to a movie after such a high demand by the fans.
The storyline itself which i wasnt expecting is of a spiritual fantasy when an evil force takes the lives of a specific person and takes away their heart shown graphically in the scenes, but nothin too gory from the likes of what the director hasnt shown us before. Anyway the purose of this is to ressurrect the evil guys one true love and each heart that is taken gives him superhuman powers. But however, one of those hearts he succeeds in taken is of the leading characters role named Mino(a very cute actress i might add)also played in princess blade. She is then transferred to the afterlife where she has to make three choices. Her lover then seeks his revenge upon her death. I wont say anything more as i dont wanna spoil anything...
My opinion of this movie however is that it delivers quite a strong message and gave me a more insighful view on the spiritual side such as the afterlife which is explained in the movie. Its quite hard to get in to at first as the storyline is quite complex and unexpected. Im not a great fan of fantasies myself but the intense romance and action sequences does it justice for me especially the style of the fight scenes. One thing i was dissapointed in was the choreography of the samurai sword fighting sequences, looked rather bleak and unconvincing that they were really trying to even kill each other. It gets very emotional at the end as the good and evil are fighting for the same thing which is to fight for the ones they love. Overall this is a good movie to see if you like action/romance/fantasy all served in to one.
But this movie isnt for everyone especially those who arent open minded to the spiritual side of the film and this will ruin the movie all together. Another reason i wasnt dissapointed in this movie was that i approached it with no expectations as i had no knowlede what so ever of what this was goin to be like. Very stylish with a clever plot! Just watch this movie if your a fan of asian cinema and just approach it with an open mind and enjoy!!
OK......go!!
