WTF?WTF indeed. I read the synopsis beforehand, so the story goes about reversed gender roles in ancient Japan focusing on the inner chambers (Ooku) of the palace. So I sorta knew what was coming ... but as i watched the film it's more of WTF? This is a load of crap.
And i really like modern period Japanese dramas because the costumes are stunning and the storyline usually has a pinch of modernity in them .... but for this movie, not only is the storyline ridiculous, I felt that reversed gender roles sorta backfired in this movie.
Grr... don't tell me it's a movie where the gender roles are reversed and yet it doesn't seem like it? Just showing men instead of women in the inner chambers = reversed gender roles?! What about emulating the traits of either genders instead? How about showing that men can be strong emotionally and the women calm and strong?
Oh yea. Don't even ask me about the ending, that's the most WTF part of this whole movie. ARGH!!! Nonsense.
I do not recommend this movie if you're looking for a good storyline on reversed gender roles.
I would recommend this movie if ur in need of desperate eye candy and you've expirated all other sources of eye candy.
