Films(Movie, Ani & etc.) - 9 Quotes from Shōgun

The Disney+ original series "Shōgun" is a remake of the miniseries "Shōgun," which originally aired on NBC in 1980. Both series are based on James Clavell's novel "Shōgun." The novel tells the story of John Blackthorne, an English navigator who arrives in Japan in the late 17th century and becomes embroiled in the political intrigues of the samurai class. It offers an impressive portrayal of Japanese traditions, customs, and an unyielding social order. Particularly, the clash between Western and Eastern belief systems adds depth to the characters as Blackthorne struggles to adapt to the unfamiliar and complex society. In the Disney+ original series "Shōgun," Hiroyuki Sanada portrays 'Yoshi Toranaga,' Cosmo Jarvis portrays 'John Blackthorne,' and Anna Sawai portrays 'Toda Mariko.' Hiroyuki Sanada, who plays Toranaga, is also involved in the production as a producer, ensuring a more authentic depiction of Japanese history and samurai culture, rather than the superficial orientalism often seen in Hollywood productions.
