47-ronin is an American fantasy action film that portray a real-life group of masterless samurai who want to avenged the death of their lord.
*masterless samurai is referred as ronin
it start when Kai who is half-japanese and half-english lives in Ako domain that has been rule by Lord Asano. when Kai is still young, Lord Asano found him in the forest and he accepted Kai into his household.
Lord Kira, the Shogun's master of ceremonies visits Lord Asano before the planned visit from Shogun. actually, Lord Kira wants to take Ako for himself with the help from a witch. at one night, that evil witch casts her magic to make Lord Asano attacks Lord Kira. then, he has been sentenced to death and Shogun gives both Ako domain and Mika to Lord Kira. he also forbid all the ronin from seeking vengeance for Asano's death.
a year after that, Oishi one of Asano's samurai knows that Kira is using witch's sorcery. then, with the help from his son, he try to reunite the scattered ronin. after they have reunited, Kai lead them to Tengu.Forest, a mystical placein order to get swords. after that, the battle between Lord Kira and all the ronin start.
after winnng the battle, all the ronin surrender themselves to Shogunate authority. they are sentenced to death since they violated the Shogun's prohibition.
the power of loyalty of all the 47 ronin is so impressive. even though their master was already dead but they still do their best to get revenge on his behalf due to the unfairness behind his death. they still try to get avenged even they know they will die in the end since they violated the prohibition by Shogun.
it is really good material, since it shows that the power of loyalty can surpass the feeling of fears to face death. but, it does not mean we need to fight like them. it is because in my point of view loyalty means we keep the faith on someone. we trust him and have a strong feeling to support him on what ever he do. so, it is applicable in our daily life especially in the any form of relationships.
in conclusion, lets try to become a loyal person.. :P
