Any, and i mean Any thing that has to deal with Kim, songs i might use, or anything else that doesn´t belong to me, doesn´t belong to me.
Ok then...
These are just some previews to Movies I think would be worth seeing. To accuratly describe what is running through myhead, i have painstakingly described every scene. Read the preview, and try to form it in your mind. Read it over and over again inside your head until it actually forms properly.
------------------------------------------
This first one is probably my favorite. Its one i am going to probably using in another story. The idea came to me when i tried to figure out what would be the best movie of all time. And it somehow needed to have Ron in it. So here you go.
------------------------------------------------
-Preview is intended for all audiences.
Opening sceen. The screen is totally black. There is a soft and incredibly sad Japanese woman´s voice singing really slowly, in a very opera like fashion. The screen goes up in a silent, quick flame, zooming out to show a roaring fire. There is a face of an old Japanese sensai behind the fires lowering flames, showing more of his face, which is lit by the firelight. His face is somber as he stares at the fire, reflected in his eyes. You can´t really make out much detail of his other surroundings. But he is outside, and it is night time, sitting on a log, dressed in Robes. The Woman continues to sing while the Sensai speaks.
"There will come a time in every warriors life, where he must choose. Whether he will follow his destiny, or whether he will run from it..." His old voice, filled with ancient wisdom.
The Woman carriers out her final note while the screen focuses on the man sitting oposite of the old sensai. He is dressed in a black Gi. His entire appearance is an enigma because of the way the firelight is giving off it´s light, covers the man´s more recognizable features. The upper portion of his face is covered in shadow, as he stares to the left. The sceen shifts with a close up of the side of his face covered by the fire light. His mouth and stubbled chin is shown by the fire. Embers of fire reflected in the corner of his pupil. He then speaks, while the Woman´s voice begins to drain out.
"Then I have no choice..." He states emotionlessly
Scene two. The opera voice ended by the end of the man´s sentence. Two beats from a japanese War drum sound out. The screen is black as smoke drifts upward, wrapping around an invisible object in its way. The smoke lingers around the object, Revealing it to be the Logo of New Line Cinema, and the words at the bottom of the Logo begin to form from the smoke as well. A soft, slow and deppresing orchestra begins to play.
Screen three. The orchestra continues as you can see a man in a brown cloak, riding a brown horse, walking along a road. The Road has to either side of it, blooming Cherry blossom trees, the wind blowing petals on to the road from the left side. small pink petals flutter in the wind. All this from the front perspective. The man on the horse is in the middle of the screen, not too far away. the camera backs up with him.
Sensai´s voice can be heard during all of this."The path to ones destiny is never easy...,"
Change scene to once more the Sensai sitting at the fire, speaking these words. "It is long and tireless..."
Change scene again. Music still playing. It changes To a bridge with a small creek running underneath. There are 4 figure covered in black robes standing side by side in on the foot of the bridge. They all have rice hats on, covering their lowered faces. Right hand by their side, left hand by their other, holding a black katana sheath, with the Katana resting inside, strapped to their side. The scene is about 30 feet away, viewed from a spot near the ground. A brown horse´s feet step into view. The audience views it from the back of the Horses front legs.
"Filled with Danger..."
The man in the brown cloak gets of the horse. You can tell this by his feet landing right next to the horse, in a manner indicating as such. The scene changes to a close up of the frontside of the four people on the bridge. Rose petals falling in fluttering in front of them. The camera goes slowly from left to right, giving each of them a good luck of the knees up. They all have the same thing on, but know you notice something else on them. On their left index finger, the hand holding the katana by the black wooden sheath, was a silver ring. A silver ring with an ancient carving of a monkey on it. The scene changed back to the back of the man near the horse, who was gripping the Sheathed Katana in his left hand angirly, 30 feet away from him, you could see the other warriors tense up also.
The Music held out a fading note as both sets of warriors tensed up, hands went slowly for their swords and bodies motioned for battle. The screen faded out as the note faded utterly.
Scene four. The screen is completetly black. No sound. But all of a sudden you hear footsteps of someone running fast. followed by four more pairs of running footsteps. You hear drawing of swords and a fierce battle cry. Followed by the sound of metal hitting metal. Another pang of ringing metal, followed by the sound of metal stabbing flesh. A death yelp, another pang of metal, a slash against flesh, sword whizzing in the air. A slash and a terrible scream cut short. A pang of metal, and another, followed by a stabbing sound. a small urk of disbelief. The sound of something spraying could be heard as the sword was yanked out. A soft thud as the body hit the floor. And then nothing. A soft and harsh panting could be heard. The panting continued for another two seconds before the screen displayed almost in a blink, an extreme close up of someones eyes. Showing the bridge of the nose and the brows, dripping with the blood of his enemies. An almost feral look in his brown eyes as he panted angirly.
Scene five. The panting stopped. replaced by another two beats from the japanese war drum. The screen was black with Bold letters, aged gold paper apperance to them. They look Japanese almost. They said the following.
In Ancient
Japan
Soft japanese flute began to play a soft slow and said melody, as the scene shifted to an utterly beautiful portrayal of the japanese landscape, Showing Mt. Yamanouchi (Without the school) in a sunset. The clouds where purple, orange and red, courtesy of the setting sun. an absolutetly breath taking site. It changes to other breath taking sites of Japanese Civilization.
Scene six.
A
Great Evil
Looms
The flute carries out a high note eeriely, giving a great sense of foreboarding. The scene shows a pale blue shadowy background, Likely from the early dawning light, standing on a Japanese temple in the distance, was a man, shown from the left side, his chest sligthly turned to the front. It showed him, dressed in black robes. The scene faded for another one zooming in on his left hand, a very furry hand, displaying a ruby and silver ring, with an ancient carving of a monkey engraved with silver on the flat ruby surface. His other features were unrecognizable. The scene shifted to two japanese guards, dressed in Samurai robes. Night time. One had a japanese lantern in his hand, the other, a sword. The flute died down a bit.
"I thought I heard something..." The one with the lantern said nervously
"Quit playing around." The one with the sword said airly
a small snapping of twigs was heard from the side of the road they were on, coming from the bushes that where perched about 3 feet of the ground.
The gaurd with the sword tensed up, and slowly approached the area. The flute´s eerie note began to pick up again. While the gaurd came within a foot of it, the music stopped suddenly. And the now eeriely silence was disturbed by a soft monkey speak. The gaurd immediatly relaxed, and then turned back to his companion.
"Why it´s just a mo-" He never finished as a loud monkey screech sounded in the air. At the same time as the beginning of that screech, the scene shifted to one which displayed the gaurd with the sword´s shadow in the lantern, and another shadow of something that looked like a monkey leaping at him with a dagger and stabbing him in the back.
Faster paced Orchestra begins to play as the following is displayed on the screen
A Hero
Will Rise
Scene seven. It shows the man in the brown cloak riding slowly on his horse. He is on a path, and the view of him shows him from a front, but its above him, looking down at him. Sort of like a 75 degree angle. The man slowly lifts his head, and gazes at something in the distance, right where the camera is. His face is covered in shadow, provided by the brown cloak. but you can easily tell that he has a blond stubble. The sun bearing down on him. The scene shifts to behind the man, in the same angle that the man would be looking at, giving a clear view of the Mt. Yamanouchi Temple
Scene eight.
And A Prophecy
Will Be
Revealed
The fast paced Orchestra continues to play while the screen shows a candle light room and the sensai pulling out an ancient and ornate looking scroll and laying it out on a wooden table. The camera shifts to right behind and on top of the scroll, giving you a clear look of the sensai´s face as his eyes read the scroll and he speaks.
"It says here, that whomsoever-" The sensai began
The scene shifts to a room where there are a lot of warriors, dressed in black Gi. They were seated to each side of a small hallway. The hallway was candle lit and the warriors were gazing at a much older looking Samurai, dressed in a black gi. Behind him, shinning in the moonlight provided by a slit in the wall high above it, was a Black Handled Katana, sheathed in black wood. The older warrior standing in front and to the side of it picked up where the sensai was cut off, almost like they were speaking for each other.
"Takes Upon this Blade (Close up view of the blade), shall be entrusted with our survival, will have no glory for his victory, but only blood upon his hands for his failure. (Goes back once more for a close up of the aging warrior) Who among you are brave enough for this task! Who will be willing to die for us!" The warrior demanded. The music stops, and there is a slight silence, until...
"I Will." stated a man dressed in brown cloaks stepping in to the hall. All eyes where on him. The man´s face was covered in shadow, only revealing his mouth, in a very somber expression. The man pulled back his hood, revealing for the first time his actual face. He had blond unkempt hair, strewn to either side of him, going down to his shoulders. He had a stubble, and a serious look in his brown eyes.
Scene nine.
In The Hands
Of an Outsider
Fast pace Orchestra picks up again. The scene shifts back to the previous one, only this time, it´s one where Ron is bending down and picking up the sword. Camera shifts to a Close up of his hand picking of the sword. While he does that, he speaks. "I will take this sword... And I will save your people..." He states in a very serious voice.
Their
Hopes and Dreams
The scene shifts to the same hallway but only the older warrior and Ron are there. Ron has the sword in his hands and the other warrior is shouting at him.
"This is not a game! Our people are dying! Do you really intend to save us!? Are you really willing to die for us!? Everything is counting on you! You cannot fail!" the samurai shouted angrily.
The scene shifts back to Ron, who still has that same serious expression on his face. "I don´t intend to."
Will Reside
The scene shifts to one where there are a bunch of people going to wish Ron well off on his journey. Ron is sitting on his horse, dressed in Red japanese, Samurai armor. Yori is looking up at Ron with tears in her eyes as she holds his hand, while Ron is on the horse. Ron looks at her with sadness in replace of his serious face. and talking 10 feet away are Hirotaka and Fukushima talking. It is Dawn, and the Cherry blossums look splendid.
"Are you saying that he, HE, is going to save us?" Fukushima protested
The music stops. Ron is about to talk of and kicks his horse with the side of his legs. It doesn´t work. He tries it again, confused. It doesn´t work. "Get going will ya?" He asks the horse gruffly. He tries it again, and the horse flings him off. The scene shifts to Fukushima and Hirotaka, who both grimace in pain at the loud thud as Ron crashes.
"I´m allright..." Ron grunts, the scene still being on Fukushima and Hirotaka. Hirotaka smiles.
"Funny how life works..."

Of A Warrior
Scene Shifts. You see Fukushima staring up at someone with a look of anger on his face. The surroundings are the exact same as the one before, obviously either just following or leading up to the previous scene.

The scene shift again to one where Ron is sitting on his Horse, dressed in his Red Japanese Armor staring down at Fukushima.
"Revenge..." He says grimly
Whos Courage

The scene shifts to one where Ron is sitting on his horse. Next to him is the Older warrior from before, and Hirotaka. Behind them were other samurai. All of them dressed in various types of Samurai outfits. They where looking down at a training ground where they saw soldiers training themselves for war. Beautiful day, the cliff they were on was grassy, the wind swaying it gently.
"How many do we have?" Asked Ron. His face still serious. Gazing out over the training ground
"five thousand strong, many more coming still training and joining." The old warrior stated. His gaze fixed on the training ground.
Hirotaka looked at Ron worriedly "Do you think that will be enough?"
Camera switches back to Ron on his horse, gazing up at him. As if the camera where perched 5 feet past the edge of the cliff. Giving a good view of Ron´s front side, his hair slightly blowing in the wind, also showing the old warrior and Hirotaka in the same fashion. They where slightly behind Ron.
"It will have to be." He stated before shifting his gaze back to Hirotaka. While he did it showed a nice close up of his slightly turned face. His eyes shown on the screen.
And Brought Together
A People
The scene shifts to A night time site. Behind all these raised spears of an army awaiting for battle, Ron was walking on his horse, shouting his speech to the people. Ron was lit by Moon Light.
"ON THIS DAY YOU FIGHT! YOU FIGHT NOT FOR GLORY! NOT FOR HONOR! NOT FOR YOURSELVES!"
Close up of Ron sitting on his horse. The close up showed him on his horse, slightly turned to face his army. He raised up his left hand, which was clutching something.
"You fight for this!" He said while clutched out his hand. Screen shifted to a close up of Ron holding out his hand, there was a brown powder that began to fall from it and fly in the wind. The Music stops with an abrupt end by two beats from a Japanese War drum.
To Reclaim
What Was Theirs

"The Lotus Blade..." The older warrior says in Awe. "But how can that be...?"
The scene shifts to one where an Ancient Japanese warrior in Red samurai Armor is weilding the Sword and fighting another Warrior dressed in black Samurai armor. The battle looks fierce, but through a strong blow from his opponents sword, The Lotus Blade flew from his hand and into the crevace of the snow capped mountains that they were currently fighting on.

"Are you saying that this outsider, this boy, is the reincarnation of the legendary warrior Toshimu who died over 500 years ago!?"

The Sensai hands the sword gentle over to Ron, who takes it with uneasiness, using both his hands, staring at the sword in doubt.
"It is wise, to doubt one´s self... Only then, are we motivated to do better... But i have faith that you will succed... Now go Warrior.... And save us all..."

It keeps going and lowering as well. But not as much. Ron has grim determination on his face, wind pushing his hair straight behind him. He has on his Red Samurai armor.

--------------------------------------------------
Stop!
Read it again until it forms in your mind. Try and form it in your mind and then play it over and over until everything falls into place. This could take only once, or a few times.
-------------------------------------
I admit that this idea came to me a long time ago, and bears striking resambalance to the story The Legend of the Lotus Blade by Frederick Aloysius but it is not entirely the same other than the reincarnation of Ron, and the name of Toshimu (Which i am not sure is the right name for him) other than that, i think im cool. I personally think that Fredericks story was cool. And i really enjoyed it. too bad it stopped. Oh well...
So what do you guys think? Did i do a good job or do i need to put more detail. I am not sure if i did a good enough job.
Also, what do you think of the movie itself. Would you go see it? I would be the first one there.
Please tell me what you think, I would really appreciate your opinion on this. Simply to make sure i haven´t lost touch with my imagination over the years.
Anyways...
