Dororo どろろ

Here to share a japanese film with you guys which i find it really interesting. ,japanese actress kou Shibasaki and actor Satoshi Tsumabuki acted in it. It was released think in the year 2007, 2 years ago, but who cares, no harm sharing, it's quite a nice movie actually, especially when there is a mix of genre - samurai, demons, Adventure, Historical, Supernatural, it is set on ancient japan during the Sengoku period. it was based on an old manga that could be dated back to the late 1960s.

The story actually goes like this quite sad also, " Before Hyakkimaru's birth his father, a greedy feudal lord, made a pact with 48 demon gods and let them each take a piece of his unborn son's body, in return for granting him great power.hyakkimaru was raised by a man who pick him up when he was abandoned by his own father, he gave him artificial limbs and teach him how to fight, so that when he defeats each of the 48 demons he comes across, he ragains each of 48 parts of his body that was taken away from him." found a trailer on youtube, i posted it as well and besides the movie song was also quite nice, by MR.Children. there was rumour that there may be a sequel in the making. this movie is quite inspirational since its gives such a historical feel.
