Still on the addicting quest of the Ghost of Yotei and I'm not going to like playing Ghost of Yotei is almost like crack, me just riding on my horse around 16th century Japan just going from town to town asking for "Crack, need some crack, I need to get high" hell now after playing Yotei, I'm already going back and replaying Ghost of Tsushima and that's a whole new level of crack that I can't get out of. But by playing an amazing game like Ghost of Yotei, I've continued onto the sequel of Lady Snowblood which gives massive inspiration towards The Bride or the Ghost of Yotei. And always traveling though Japanese Cinema, you begin to learn new things.
Yuki is imprisoned and sentenced to be hanged. Before she meets her death, she is recruited into the secret police and becomes caught in a web of corruption, assassination and coercion.
Like the first Lady Snowblood film, you still get the amazing use of fake blood splashing all over the screen and there were actually moments in some of these action sequences, there was a moment where a shotgun comes in the picture, and I was actually wishing to see a man get his head blown off with a shotgun because of the amount of times I see tons of limbs chopped off, I would imagine they would have money to have the effect of a man’s head being blown off by a shotgun, although I really did try and looked up the budget and yet I found nothing on how much the movie was made but I guess when it comes to the good people of Japan I would imagine it was in a small budget level, and I could be wrong granted, but deep down will never know. I had many conversations about the Lady Snowblood films, in the aspect of Quentin Tarantino using the first two films as inspiration though there some scenes where he does steal from these films, although I don't consider it the aspect of stealing ideas from past films and using them for the Kill Bill films for good reasons, is that nobody in the American Cinema was actually seeing Japanese films moreover there's no proof of these films being released to American Cinema in the United States, and even if they were released I strongly doubt censorship in the U.S. would allow some of the gore in these movies and especially one scene from the first movie where Yuki is training as a young girl and out of nowhere her master slashes her clothes off and she's completely naked, for which I was like WTF, when did we get to kiddy porn here? Point being I'm sure they can allow U.S. citizens watching Godzilla in the fifties, sixties or seventies on Television, but I strongly doubt they would allow people watching Lady Snowblood. Though to the filmmaker’s credit they were no doubt ahead of their time when it comes to shock and blood though there's not a whole lot of it in this movie but the crazy filmmakers in Japan should deserve a lot of credit for being the first to allow blood and gore into a movie. To be fair, this film is not as great or cinematic as the first film was but, this film does get some credit for keeping up with some of the action sequences as well as what happens to our lead character by the end of the first movie, as well as seeing what other crazy adventures she gets into, though granted they just stopped with two films so, doubt will able to see more adventures now. Again, not as great as the first movie but still entertaining from start to finish moreover you still get your money's worth in terms of subscription fees. After watching two of these crazy movies I would most certainly recommend watching these movies from beginning to the final frame, especially if you’re playing both Ghost of Tsushima or Ghost of Yotei both games I would say give a great tribute as well as giving me the hunger to watch some of these Japanese classic films especially, the Samurai movies in the sixties that were directed by Akria Kurosawa. So, for now I'm going more into Samurai gaming as well as watching Samurai films as well.
