The Loyal 47 Ronin / 1932

This 1932 adaptation is the earliest sound version of the ever-popular and much-filmed Chushingura story of the loyal 47 retainers who avenged their feudal lord after he was obliged to commit hara-kiri due to the machinations of a villainous courtier. As the first sound version of the classic narrative, the film was something of an event, and employed a stellar cast, who give a roster of memorable performances. Director Teinosuke Kinugasa was primarily a specialist in jidai-geki (period films), such as the internationally celebrated Gate of Hell (Jigokumon, 1953), and although he is now most famous as the maker of the avant-garde silent films A Page of Madness (Kurutta ichipeji, 1926) and Crossroads (Jujiro, 1928), Chushingura is in fact more typical of his output than those experimental works. The film ranked third in that year’s Kinema Junpo critics’ poll, and Joseph Anderson and Donald Richie noted that 'not only the sound but the quick cutting was admired by many critics.

The 47 Loyal Ronin / 1910

Asano Naganori, signore del castello di Ako nel Giappone occidentale, aggredì Kira Yoshihisa, membro di una potente famiglia che aveva spesso insultato in pubblico Asano per la sua rozzezza contadina. Lo shogunato Tokugawa, che aveva vietato qualsiasi atto di violenza nel castello di Edo, punì l'aggressione di Asano ordinandogli di compiere harakiri e annientò il suo clan, mentre le provocazioni di Kira rimasero impunite. I servitori di Asano, privi del loro signore, divennero ronin. I 47 ronin, guidati da Oishi Yoshio, attesero due anni per sviare i sospetti e far allentare la sorveglianza, e poi attaccarono la dimora di Kira prima dell’alba del 31 gennaio 1703. Dopo aver agevolmente fatto fuori le sue guardie, concessero al signore la dignità del seppuku con la stessa lama con cui si era tolto la vita Asano. Di fronte al suo rifiuto di commettere il suicidio rituale, gli tagliarono la testa. La storia si conclude con la condanna a morte per harakiri dei 47 ronin
