Ran (Acertada por jacobo)

Ran (1985)

IMDb dice: A story of Greed, a lust for power, and ultimate revenge. The Great Lord Hidetora Ichimonji (Tatsuya Nakadai) has decided to step aside to make room for the younger blood of his three sons, Taro (Akira Terao), Jiro (Jinpachi Nezu), and Saburo (Daisuke Ryu). The Lord's only wish now being to live out his years as an honored guest in the castle of each of his sons in turn. While the older two sons flatter their father, the youngest son attempts to warn him of the folly of expecting the three sons to remain united, enraged at the younger sons' attempt to point out the danger, the father banishes him. True to the younger sons' warning however, the Oldest Son soon conspires with the Second Son to strip The Great Lord of everything, even his title. The story follows the decent of the old man into madness, the machinations of treachery and deceit by the two older sons and their downfall, and the loyalty of the youngest who ultimately rescues his father. But in the end it is the past deeds of The Great Lord that bring on the final battle and end the era of the Lord Hidetora and his clan.

CINeol dice: Adaptación del "King Lear" de Shakespeare en el mundo feudal japonés, Ran nos cuenta la historia de un señor de la guerra que debido a su avanzada edad, decide dividir su reino entre sus 3 hijos, dándoles a cada uno un castillo y una parte de sus tierras. Mientras los 2 hijos mayores están contentos de esa decisión, el mas joven no lo aprueba y prevee que tarde o temprano esto desembocará en una guerra entre hermanos, por lo que es repudiado por sus palabras.
