Be a man! Samurai school

Be a man! Samurai school

Just from a title alone. One definitely knows that cheesy lines and "out" there" situations.

The story revolves around a school that starts hiring people for training to become actual men. This is an extremely famous school that made unbelievable men throughout the Japanese history and seems to be a salvation for any loser that it lost or stuck or frankly needs direction. However a former student seeks to take over the school and get revenge for being expelled and the only way to go through the challenges of "the amazing triple death battle". Yes it's the actual challenge name

One can't avoid to compare this to some kind of an army propaganda video.

The director of the movie showed up at the screening of this movie. His vision is to make a nice action movie that makes you laugh. And in that aspect the director nailed it. The absurd meaning that the school will make you into a man and give you an evolved form of education such as 1x2 or 3x2 (which some of the students either got wrong or had to teach to get right)

Teaching men who don't know how to date or talk to a woman, people that under any circumstances are doomed to the life of a telemarketer under different circumstances aren't the best qualified people for any school such as the one in this movie.

However that being said, it is for the same exact reason that this movie is funny. The discipline methods in this movie at completely absurd and every moment in there make you laugh. The 2 decent fighters in this movie really do their thing well. And every other line gives you a lot to laugh about.

I can't seem to wonder... are half these lines that make us laugh are intentional? Or just cheese that the audience finds ridiculous? I hope the director intended for the first one to happen.

Overall, this movie is entertaining but so extremely cheesy that you end up maybe more laughing at the movie rather then the point that the movie is trying to make. Which is.... I have no idea. But it's a movie worth seeing in fantasia. These fans are very forgiving and appreciate this corniness but it's an easily forgettable movie.
