The Last Princess este un film de aventuri asiatic, cu eroi si personaje tipice filmelor care au facut ravagii in anii de glorie ai lui Akira Kurosawa, a avut incasari in box-office-ul japonez de anul trecut de 8,5 milioane de dolari. In fapt, este vorba despre un remake dupa clasicul “The Hidden Fortress” din 1958 al lui Akira Kurosawa, regizat de Shinji Higuchi. Higuchi e cunoscut ca regizor pentru “Lorelei” si “Sinking of Japan”, dar renumele i l-a adus activitatea in domeniul efectelor vizuale. Paradoxal, “The Last Princess” nu beneficiaza de efecte vizuale iesite din comun, filmul fiind chiar lipsit aproape in totalitate de acestea. In rolurile principale au fost distribuiti super-starul japonez Jun Matsumoto (fanii j-dramelor si ai formatiei Arashi il cunosc foarte bine), Masami Nagasawa (protagonista din Yomigaeri si Crying out love, in the center of the world) si Hiroshi Abe (un actor si fotomodel japonez foarte cunoscut in Japonia – Survive Style 5+, Tokyo Raiders). Scenariul original al filmului e cel al maestrului Kurosawa. Sursa: AsiaCienfil.com

Summary: If you have seen Kurosawa’s brilliant Kakushi-toride no san-akunin, known as The Hidden Fortress in the West, you may find this super-charged remake a lifeless bore, as it replaces humor with gory violence and brilliant characterizations with shallow “types.” In updating the story, director Higuchi abandoned the ensemble feel of the original and created an enhanced role for boy idol Matsumoto as the peasant Takezo. Takezo is uncommonly brilliant, resourceful and socially aware for a 16th century Japanese farm boy, so the film quickly lurches into self-righteousness and holds this improbable line until the last frame. The wacky duo of peasants who brought such warmth and comic wit to the original, and inspired George Lucas in the creation of R2-D2 and C-3PO, are gone to facilitate a highly unlikely romance, and the remarkable general created by Toshiro Mifune is transformed into an ordinary samurai who can barely keep up with his little princess in physical prowess.
