    Shogun is the new FX/Hulu historical drama based on James Clavell's 1975 novel of the same name. In episode 2 John Blackthorne (Cosmo Jarvis) is nearly executed before he makes himself useful to Lord Toranaga (Hiroyuki Sanada) by revealing the Portuguese have a secret base in Macao. Lady Mariko (Anna Sawai) who was called to translate is shocked to hear this as a converted Catholic.
    We learn more about the political situation through a flashback to before The Taiko died and through Ishido's (Takehiro Hira) maneuvering in present-day Osaka.

    Writers Rachel Kondo & Justin Marks
    Blackthorne's arrival in Osaka stirs up a hornet's nest of rivalries. Mariko is trapped between her cause and her faith when she must translate for the barbarian in Lord Toranaga's custody.

    When saw this on Disney+ (at least in Australia), the subtitles 2:22 say "I wish we'd taken Joseon together". I had no idea Joseon was a place in Korea until I saw this video! This is with the default subtitles for the Japanese dialogue.
    Just to experiment, when I turned on the English subtitles, it says "Korea" right at that part!

    The one thing I’m still confused about is the heir, is it the heir to the Taiko or former regent or is it the future emporer
    Also there are SOOOOO many names it’s crazy that you’re able to keep track of all of them (reminds me of GoT)

    Great adaptation of the book & overall supurb.
    OK it's crafted for a western audience but so was the novel.
    I get some of the Japanese gripes but hey its not the cultural attack Napoleon was to France so all good😊

    • @easternlights3155
      @easternlights3155 Місяць тому

      I think it's okay to call her wife. There is a lot of sources that translate the Japanese word seishitsu (which is what Kiri and Fuji are in the show) as "wife" and since she was the lord's official partner, had legal standing and managed his household, I think enough conditions are met for her title to be roughly equivalent with the western conception of "wife".

      Women would have been seen not heard. Female assassins would be like male assassins you wouldn't see them till you did which was getting the drop on you. I'm guessing there were more female crash test dummies or kill by honey trap.

    Pete, did you know Shogun was adapted into a classic miniseries in 1980 starring Richard Chamberlain, Toshiro Mufuni, John Rhys Davies and featuring narration by Orson Wells. If not, you should give it a look.

    finally a review that adds information rather than just opinions on the episode.
    Question tho, i was left confused after the opening scene with the Taiko.
    The older lady bending over the Taiko referred to the Taiko as "husband". Yet Ochiba is the mother of his son, the heir? Was the Taiko married to the older lady yet had a child with Ochiba?

    • @MoneeLawrence
      @MoneeLawrence 2 місяці тому +1

      Yes, Lady Iyo (older lady) is the wife of the Taiko. Ochiba was a courtesan to the Taiko and mother of the heir.
