The Fall Of Ako Castle a.k.a Sword Of Vengeance (1978) ENGLISH SUBTITLE | FULL MOVIE This is the real story of "The 47 Ronin." Based on historical events in 1701 - 1702, the movie tells the tale of the Asano clan's downfall and the revenge of its former samurai on the perpetrator of the catastrophe. Lord Asano was goaded, or tricked, into drawing his sword inside the Shogun's palace - a crime which carried the death penalty. The newly installed Shogun was furious at Asano and ordered all his clan's assets seized, meaning some 20,000 samurai and commoners were unemployed and landless at a stroke. Forty-seven of these ronin (masterless samurai) banded together to take revenge on Lord Kira, who had goaded Asano into drawing his sword. They bide their time for a year and a half. Disguising their intentions, they lead public lives of drunken dissipation, while planning in secret. They finally succeed in exacting their revenge against powerful odds, and then commit ritual suicide to atone for breaking the law. They are buried at the temple of Sengaku-ji in Tokyo. Their graves are still in existence and are considered a national shrine. An annual festival is held there to celebrate these events. (Goof: The movie subtitles state the events began in 1702, in fact they began April, 1701 and the revenge took place December 14, 1702)
