class struggle vs destiny

[disdressed12 · 8/10 · 23 January 2010]

basically,the Shinobi are the lowest of the low in the ninja class and are essentially considered cannon fodder and sent on the most dangerous missions that missions that higher classes will not go on.they are disposable and expendable,and they live to serve their masters.they are born into this class,and no matter how skilled they are,can not rise to a higher class,so are destined to die in that class.the events in the movie take place hundreds of years ago and focus on one particular fighter and his struggles with his destiny nd and obeying the law of the land.i enjoyed the film.though there is one disturbing rape scene.otherwise,i thought the movie was well done.it's fairly short at about 75 minutes.there are two options of viewing the film,one with Japanese language and English Subtitles,or dubbed English.i picked English subtitles.anyway,for me,Shinobi:The Law of Shinobi is an 8/10
