Shogun

[Nimos]

If you are looking for something to see, I would highly recommend the Shogun series, it is a masterpiece. (Obviously suggest watching it with Japanese language rather than dubbed.)

I've enjoyed it. I agree. It's best not dubbed. I have a large enough screen I can catch what I would need to understand. Good stuff.

Shogun, Tai Pan, and King Rat were a trilogy of books written years ago by an Aussie named James Clavell. They are excellent novels, and I think there have been several films made based on them. Clavell also wrote the story The Fly that became two different films over the years.

I watched it when I was in high school.

This is a new one. As far as I know, the old one was told from the perspective of British sailor, whereas this is from several people's perspective.

I enjoyed it, but the ending was merely one
character's disclosure of what the ending
would be....without showing it.

It seems good

I may check it out at some point

I loved the original series of about 30 or so years ago.

That's interesting. I watch the 1980 Toshiro Mufuni series and, as much as I loved Seven Samurai and Yojimbo, I was really disappointed. This was probably because I had previously read the Clavell book (twice).

I was thinking about the old TV series (featuring Richard Chamberlain) fairly recently, and as to why it hasn't been shown on TV - or not on anything other than pay-per-view perhaps. Quite liked it.
