-Синсэнгуми: Последние дни сёгуната / Shinsengumi: Last Days of the Shogunate (1960) -Бакумацу / Bakumatsu / The Ambitious / The Restoration of Meiji (1970)
“Bakumatsu”, which literally means the “end of the Shogunate rule,” or the “end of the Tokugawa Period,” is a truly moving and historic motion picture about the men who devoted their lives to bringing about governmental reform in Japan. From the year 1603 until about 1700, the Tokugawa Shogunate was able to maintain a peaceful and orderly government by exercising strict law enforcement upon the people. Edo and Osaka flourished into great cities; the population also increased rapidly. Moreover, on the cultural side, popular arts such as the theatre, novel, and color prints began to flourish. However, after the first one quarter of the 18th Century, economic disasters combined with numerous other causes led to the weakening of the Shogunal system, until finally on December 9, 1868, the declaration of the new Meiji government brought to an end the historic 250 years of rule under the Tokugawa family. The groups involved in the overthrow of the Shogunate were the Satsuma and Choshu clans of western Japan which joined forces to put an end to the Tokugawa Shogunate and the power that it wielded.
BAKUMATSU depicts the disturbed times in Japan and reveals the attitude of the young men at that time who believed that the real ruler of Japan should be the Emperor. The theme is mainly centered on the wise and magnificent Sakamoto Ryoma, a samurai of the Tosa Clan who removed himself from the feudal duties of a warrior to become a “ronin” or “masterless samurai”. The story of Ryoma’s life is traced from the time he leaves his hometown of Tosa and engages in efforts to unite the Satsuma and Choshu clans, up until the Imperial Restoration.
BAKUMATSU, a Nakamura Kinnosuke production, is a motion picture filled with action, romance, and emotion. It stars Nakamura Kinnosuke in the leading role of Sakamoto Ryoma, and Yoshinaga Sayuri, the Nikkatsu starlet, in the role of Oryu, Ryoma’s beautiful wife. Other notable stars include Mifune Toshiro, Nakadai Tatsuya, Nakamura Katsuo, Eri Chiemi, and Kobayashi Keiju. Directed by the great master Ito Daisuke, this is the true story of how Sakamoto Ryoma’s wisdom and strength found a way to unite a divided Japan.
This is the true story of SAKAMOTO Ryoma (NAKAMURA Kinnosuke) generally considered to be the architect of the "Bakumatsu" (Downfall of the Tokugawa Shogunate) as finally engineered by the joining of the Choshu and Satsuma Clans against the Tokugawa power structure. His dream was to allow the opening of Japan to the West in order to learn its technology and then take that same technology to defeat the West in future battles. Considered an outlaw by his own clan, hunted as a rebel by the government, and hated by both supporters of the Shogun, and Loyalists as well. His is a tale cloaked in danger, and powerful in its historical significance. Co-starring NAKADAI Tatsuya as Ryoma's lifelong friend NAKAOKA Shintaro, they share the dream of a modern Japan with a Navy and Army that can stand tall with the rest of the world.
