A few weeks ago, I watched the Japanese film Rurouni Kenshin along with some members of the Japanese Association at Macquarie (JAM) as the first 'film watching event' of the 2016 year.
Rurouni Kenshin is said to be a famous Japanese movie that is popular among foreign viewers. On that note, it is for this reason that I think that it is important for me to introduce and review this film so as to discuss why it may be popular and encourage those who have not seen it, to do so.
The story is set in 19th century Japan after the Boshin civil war against the Shogunate, representing the cultural change happening in Japan in this period of time. The props and the sets used in the film show a picturesque view of traditional Japan which reflects well on foreigners who are interested in or like Japanese culture elements. Though the story is not that deep, it still reflects well on serious themes such as honor and love, whilst sometimes having comedic elements. I think the think which attract people the most about this film is the action scenes which are performed using stunning stunts and fighting styles that properly portray the characters personalities.
Overall, I would give this film a 7/10 due to my like for Japanese culture, the coolness of the main character, the fighting scenes and possible some of the hilariously bad acting which pleasently took me by surprise.
