Problem: Build a movie plot around this: Who commends the Ii clan? The Shogun.

A: Edo, 1630. Tsugumo Hanshiro arrives at the estate of the Ii clan and says that he wishes to commit seppuku within the courtyard of the palace. To deter him Saito Kageyu (Rentaro Mikuni), the Daimyo's senior counselor, tells Hanshiro the story of another ronin, Chijiiwa Motome formerly of the same clan as Hanshiro.Motome arrived at the palace a few months earlier and made the same request as Hanshiro. Infuriated by the rising number of "suicide bluffs", the three most senior samurai of the clanYazaki Hayato, Kawabe Umenosuke, and Omodaka Hikokuropersuaded Saito to force Motome to follow through and kill himself. Upon examining Motome's swords, their blades were found to be made of bamboo. Enraged that any samurai would "pawn his soul", the House of Ii forced Motome to disembowel himself with his own bamboo blade, making his death slow, agonizingly painful, and deeply humiliating.Despite this warning, Hanshiro insists that he has never heard of Motome and says that he has no intention of leaving the Ii palace alive. After a suicide pavilion is set up in the courtyard of the palace, Hanshiro is asked to name the samurai who shall behead him when the ritual is complete. To the shock of Saito and the Ii retainers, Hanshiro successively names Hayato, Umenosuke, and Hikokurothe three samurai who coerced the suicide of Motome. When messengers are dispatched to summon them, all three decline to come, saying they are suffering from a life-threatening illness.After provoking their laughter by calling bushido a facade, Hanshiro recounts his story to Saito and the Ii retainers. He did, he admits, know Motome after all. In 1619, his clan was abolished by the Shogun. His Lord decided to commit seppuku and, as his most senior samurai, Hanshiro planned to die alongside him. To prevent this, Hanshiro's closest friend performed seppuku and left a letter assigning to Hanshiro the guardianship of his teenage sonMotome. Despite Hanshiro's pleas, his Lord forbade him to kill himself.In order to...

Problem: Build a movie plot around this: How many years was Malik sentenced to prison? 6

A: When it comes to hard-bitten crime cinema, Jacques Audiard has few equals in Europe, and his violent, gripping prison drama A Prophet shows him extending his range with unimpeachable command. The story of a gauche young inmate who rises through the criminal ranks to become a formidable player, A Prophet works both as hard-edged, painstaking detailed social realism and as a compelling genre entertainment.The only thing that might hamper commercial prospects is a labyrinthine, sometimes perplexing narrative, but otherwise the film to be released in France in August - should have the same international appeal as last years Cannes crime hit Gomorrah. Its unapologetically testosterone-laden tenor will give the film a resonance way beyond the international art-house constituency that embraced Audiards last film, The Beat That My Heart Skipped. Expect this stimulating film also to be much discussed in the French media in terms of its topical backgrounds, the national prison system and Frances Islamic population.Set largely within prison walls and featuring an almost exclusively male and non-professional cast, the film details the prison career of Malik el Djebena (newcomer Rahim), a 19-year-old man of North African origin but estranged from the Muslim community. Sentenced to six years on an unspecified charge, Malik is chosen by Cesar Luciani (Arestrup), feared kingpin of the prisons reigning Corsican gang, to kill a prisoner named Reyeb (Yacoubi) who initially offers Malik drugs in exchange for sex. Malik commits the bloody murder, and thanks to Lucianis near-total control of the prisons internal workings - gets off scot-free. This makes him a lieutenant in the prisons Corsican gang, initially entrusted only with menial duties and disparaged as an Arab outsider.Haunted by visions of a ghostly Reyeb, and determined to get on, the illiterate Malik not only learns to read, but teaches himself Corsican, surreptitiously learning the ins and outs of Lucianis business. Another inmate, Ryad (Bencherif), becomes Maliks...
