Let the Katana Sword Rest

Rating: 1/10 (14 September 2012)

To start out for everyone here; this movie is yet an another horrible adaptation or a remake of the Japanese cult movie "Lady Snowblood" (Shurayukihime) from 1973, directred by Toshiya Fujita. Quentin Tarantinos version is a completely rip-off with switched elements, and to make things worse, with a whole bunch of incorrect facts about the whole Japanese society and its criminal gangs.
In the beginning i though this was a entertainment film, lots of action and a somewhat ridiculous and funny story, but it was after the middle of the film i started to realise that i've seen this before - at that moment i didn't knew from which movie, although Lady Snowblood was in my mind.
Like everyone from the west who watches Asian movies of any kind, they feel a needing for actually make their own versions and put themselves in the centre, like telling The World that "We can do it just as good as you, just watch us!"
There's no exceptions for this one either. Here we can see how Uma Thurman replaces the cult role Meiko Kaji(Yuki Kashima (Shurayuki-hime) had as the avenger, without any feeling or remorse, Uma's role figure is a wandering slaughter machine, waving and kicking her opponents down without backing off, even if there is like 88 of them or just two. Gogo Yubari herself is only a symbol for the westerns own childish erotic imagination of Japanese school girls in uniforms in general.
Those who says that this movie is a smart, intelligent master piece which belongs to the cult movies through the time, they haven't seen Lady Snowblood nor understood what Quentin Tarantino really did with this film, copied, and destroyed an already existing legend.
I like Pupl Fiction, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and From Dusk To Dawn but this one i wish could fall down into the deepest black hole in the universe.
thank you.
