[B]47 Ronin (2013)[/B]. I started Moonfall and just couldn't do it.  So Keanu Reeves comes to the rescue.  I have not seen the original 1941-42 movie, but this is pretty good.  They weave in a little magic and a mystical creature or two, but it's all very Japanese in style and culture.  The story is [URL='https://www.thoughtco.com/the-47-ronin-story-195577']loosely based on a real event[/URL], where a feudal lord is essentially tricked into violating code, has to commit seppuku and his Samurai are now ronin, with no master.  Eventually they plot to avenge their old master and restore their honor.  Keanu plays Kai, a half-breed who lives and works for the Lord, and who is in love with his daughter.  But that can never be, and he can't be a Samurai since he's a half breed (son of a Japanese man and English woman, which is not too far off from Keanu's own English-Hawaiian/Chinese ancestry).  As much as I think these codes were total BS, I still enjoy these Japanese stories based on them, and this is quite enjoyable really.
