13 ASSASSINS (2010) MOVIE REACTION * FIRST TIME WATCHING* THEY WERE'NT SUPPOSED TO DIE!! 

The bandit who fought with the rocks at the end who survives was actually a type of Oni. Basically a Japanese "demon" or spirit but not necessarily evil. Him talking about living in the forest and that scene where it shows his girlfriend bloody in the forest eating "something" hints at that.

The first samurai killed himself as a protest to the bad guys ascension to the leader of the clan, the family being used for archery practice was the family of that samurai that committed suicide.

Guy with the rocks represents an Oni, an ancient demon, he was just along for the ride!

Seven Samurai is a must; Kurosawa was the Bergman, Spielberg, Hitchcock, and Eastwood of Japan. And it has the absolute best depiction of what it meant to be a Ronin in chaotic times.

I like the philosophical debate between Hanbei and Shinza about the samurai code. And the Ronin one shotting so many guys is hilarious

Check out “When the last sword is drawn” or “Twilight Samurai” two amazing samurai movies

One of my favorite samurai movies

Omg dude you did it! I’ve been requesting this movie for you for the longest time and didn’t think you would! Wow Much respect. I hope you enjoyed this. This is a samurai classic. Top 5 samurai movies.

Saw this movie in theaters. One of the best experiences of my life. So good!

This movie is badass. Don't get to see many brutal Katana fights in movies these days. Great reactions as always brother ✊

One of the best movies, you really time travel to japan for a few hours with this one. p.s. love your reactions.

Another great samurai movie is "Zatoichi the blind swordsman" from the 1962. One of the best movies out there

Katanas, definitely the coolest swords EVER made in the history of the world 👍

15:38 i've owned this movies for a few years now, one of my favs, it's the same story as "Seven Samurai". the guys weird hairline is from i believe to be a burn scar, from a house fire, maybe when he was a child. another good series to check out would be Zatoichi : The Blind Swordsmen. 👍

The forest hunter many theories are out there, as others pointed out he could be a Onryõ vengeful spirit, or Kitsune possessed by a fox to bring balance back, and even a theory that he is the yin/yang part of one of the 12 and that is why he did not die from the sword to the neck and this was a form of having that one former samurai find a purpose for him and his wife now that old life was done.

I am a huge fan of Takashi Miike's work and this is one of my favorites of all his films. Thank you for reacting to this one. Please keep doing all that you do. Love your channel!

In the past 25yrs, this movie from Japan is one of the best in all cinema. Beside the bad CGI bulls...this movie is top-notch in every category. Love all the actors/actress and the plot....WOW! I can't remember when a film can make me feel so emotional...since Saving Private Ryan. One of my top five film of all time, a hidden gem.

For the samurai it was considered a great honor to die in battle. Retiring and dying of old age was sort of embarrassing. This is why the guy was so excited to get this assignment. It was one last chance to die in battle and why he let the guy stab him in the end.

I can’t believe you did this movie. Respect

31:25 i've seen this in a few Samurai films, they let the enemy stab them to get the close as possible, so they can do major damage to the enemy as well. he's been battling hundreds of men, and wants this fight to be over soon, so instead of dueling and making himself more tired, he'll take the stab. i think John Wick did this as well at the end of the 1st film.

The most visceral large scale battle scenes in any film ever.

Thank you for watching it w/o dubbing. This was the best way to watch the film. Its one of my Top 20 of all time.

Incredible film. Props to the guy who paid to request it.

Eiichi Kudo's original film is a gem of classic japanese cinema, but this remake of the prolific Takashi Miike breathes classicism and spirit of adventure from beginning to end. 100% pure cinema and emotion, without fantasy tricks or excess of digital effects, cinema that raises your blood pressure and takes your breath away. A worthy remake at the height of the classics.

Seven samurai is which this movie is based off of. 1954 i believe, great movie as well. It is in black & white also north of 3 hours. Think you'd enjoy that as well.

Hey took the blade to know exactly where he would be hit- using his body to lock the blade so he could put the killing blade into Lord N. No guarantee in a live blade match. His mission was to kill Lord N. Take the blade and be assured of victory

Love the reaction, love this film. I specifically searched for a reaction to this film, found your channel, now subscribed!

Seppuku or ritualistic disembowelment and beheading is done to remove any dishonor. Being defeated is dishonorable. Making a controversial move can also be viewed as dishonorable. The men that committed Seppuku in this film were openly defying a Lord. They had good reasons to do so but that doesn't matter. Samurai means to serve and it is not their place to question or disobey even when they have great cause to do so. Seppuku at the very least proves one's sincerity beyond any doubt.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,yes,yes YES!!!!!!! One of my top 5 favorite films of all time. Takashi Miike is a film genius. This is just a great samurai movie, easily right up there with some of Kurosawa's best. I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!

Not enough people are reacting to this movie! Thank you!

Same director - In his 100th film: Blade of the Immortal. It was absolutely amazing. I recommend it if you like the samurai or yakuza genre. This has a touch of fantasy involved.

The Samurai were no joke!!! Hardcore warriors, and men of honor. I love the history of the Samurai period in Japan. Great film, great reaction!!!

Movie was so Ganxsta.. one that I got in my collection. Takashi Miike makes some intense great movies and then some off the wall crazy shxt. Me too, at the beginning I would get lost at times who was who.

“The 36 Chambers of Shaolin “ is an all time Kung-Fu classic DONT miss it !

Already know this gonna be fire, came straight from the bell notification sir.

You have Excellent taste. Clint Eastwood to Takashi Miike. This is such a good movie

I saw "13" and I thought "13th Warrior", im waiting for our boy Devin to react that movie, it´s gonna be mind blowing, best reaction channel by far!!!! Cheers!

I'm glad you're reacting to this movie but sad to hear it didn't do well in the poll. I believe more people should watch it. I certainly believe more people should watch "13 Assassins" than much of the cinematic pablum I see every reaction channel watching. Interesting story about the Japanese principle that you're obliged to be loyal regardless: In WW2, the Prime Minister of Japan made a surprising announcement addressed to Japanese-Americans saying that America was their country now and that they were therefore honor bound to be loyal to America. Contrast that to Germany which told German-Americans to "return to the Fatherland" and fight for Germany. Different beliefs about what loyalty demands of a person.

The time period this takes place in is the twilight of the Tokugawa Shogunate. For the past two centuries, the Tokugawas have ruled Japan uncontested with absolute authority and enforcing a strict isolationist policy. When Commodore Perry arrived from America and forced Japan to reopen their borders at the end of a cannon it opened the floodgates of enmity numerous Daimyo held for the Shogunate, for both their policies and simmering anger over their takeover at the end of the Sengoku Period. Within years, Japan was once again forced into civil war between the Tokugawa Loyalists and the Imperial Patriots who sought to abolish the rule of the Shogun and restore power to the emperor. In the Last Samurai, we see an aftermath of this war which resulted in a Patriot victory. Another series of movies I highly recommend you watch are the live-action Rurouni Kenshin films which take place in the same period, they are sheer perfection!

There are some cut scenes that explain the "immortal" guy alittle but more. And theres also a cut ending where the surviving samurai return to his lover.

If you decide to watch another samurai movie, you have to check out 'Seven Samurai' arguably the best samurai movie ever made and overall a great movie.

@17:00 honoring Bushido code. (Short version) Self sacrifice out of shame, to maintain his honor, the honor of his clan, family's name and legacy.

One of my favourite movies!

If you have never seen 1992 movie Last of the Mohicans with Daniel Day Lewis in it try to watch it very good movie..:)

This is one of the best movies of all time. A piece of art

BRO ! you gotta see they live 1987

And here we go, another of my absolute favorite movies that I always knew you would enjoy. You really are awesome, Mr. G! You are my favorite RU-vidr at this point, I practically hold my breath waiting for each time you post something. Keep it coming! Another samurai focused movie with fantasy elements I think you would enjoy and would love to see you react to is 47 Ronin starring Keanu Reeves. Oh, and I definitely applaud you for watching this in the original language with subtitles, in my opinion the only way to watch foreign films.

the man from nowhere and i saw the devil are dope korean films from the last 10 years, worth the watch. great movie! thumbs up!

So glad you did this review. Have seen this movie countless times. To answer the question you had. 1. Shinza allowed himselfnto be stabbed so he could die on the battlefield with his men like a true samurai. Not to mention he would have been killed for the assassination of the Shoguns brother. 2. On a side note, Kiga the mountain man is thought to be a spirit of sorts. That's why he didn't die. He is the exact opposite of Shinrokuro (shinzas nephew). That's why they only conversed with each other. There is a deleted scene when the mountain man is in the whore house and basically plows through 10 whores and they are just laying there out of energy. He is meant to represent everything shinrokuro wants to be outside a samurai.

The moment I saw the girl without limbs I knew the lord had to go immediately. Crazy they accepted to have that guy in power that long just to keep balance, but he just went too far. Movie suggestion: *Rescue Dawn (2006)* Following a crash during the Vietnam War, fighter pilot gets caught by peasants. In captivity, he hatches and executes an escape plan.

Man, you have been on a roll with some of my favorite movies lately. Fantastic reactions and always enjoyable. You might like Curse of the Golden Flower next.

*YES* , I knew you'd like this one!

I’m telling you Devin if you want a touching movie based on a true story that’s a sleeper movie(many have over looked) 👀 and that’s Hotel Rwanda….Got to see it . Like tears of the sun most people haven’t heard of it…

One of my favorite movies of all times.

Almost anything by Akira Kurosawa is incredible; but Yojimbo is to my mind his greatest.

War of Arrows is a very underrated foreign Archer movie Also The 13th Warrior, story is very good but underrated I'm sure you'll like them

Miike’s “Blade Of The Immortal “ is equally but very differently amazing. Check it out. Well done watching this!

Getting closer to 50k 🤘😁🤘 loving the channel and awesome reactions

We here devin!!’

Hey Devin G love your reaction videos can you react to IP MAN 2008 next there's 4 movies its about Bruce Lees master all true stories great films

Outrage & beyond outrage are yukza movies staring the same guy & they are badass

Dev, Please watch The 13th Warrior. it is one of my favorites, you will enjoy it immensely. Lo, there do I see my father. Lo, there do I see my mother. And my sisters and my brothers Lo, there do I see the line of my people Back to the beginning. Lo, they do call to me. They bid me take my place among them In the halls of Valhalla Where the brave may live forever.

To answer your question, Shinzaemon let the lordling stab him because either way, he was going to kill him. But taking that stab also let HIM die, which is what he wanted. He didn't want to live on after this, there's no life for a Samurai of the old way in Japan by this point. This way he goes out in a blaze of glory.

Oh damn! One of my favourite movies. Badass sword fighting action and samurai honor drama. Maybe Takashi Miike's best film. It's also kinda cool that the 13th assassin was some god or nature spirit who saw that those 12 guys were on a good business and decided to join up. (My interpretation, obvioysly.)

If you want to see something very cool? Check out Zatoichi, the blind swordsman. The early stuff. 1960s version. Samurai serve. There is always someone higher until you reach the emperor. They follow their orders without question to do so would mean big shame in Japanese culture, no matter what the orders. The point of the suicide on the bridge was to force the Lord to take a certain route. (Knowing where your enemy will be.) The guy who blocked the lord was the ruler of the lands but he did so against the wishes of the Lord he serves, because the bad lord killed his son. Refusing his lords orders was permitted. But the shame of refusing those orders demanded he commit suicide. And I THINK the level of honor dropped on a properly performed suicide was like chiseling it in stone. So even though he disobeyed his lord by refusing him passage, performing the suicide was to smooth any shame. If HIS Lord had gone against the wishes of the suicide??? That's bad medicine.

Takashi Miike is an amazing movie maker my personal top 3 movies by him are Hara Kiri, 13 Assassins and Blade Of The Immortal. You should definitely react to Blade Of The Immortal.

This movie is fantastic!

Just been noticing the beginning of your description has a typo on a lot of videos. Some say "Whats up Guys!?" Then some say "Whats up Guys and Gals!?" well now theres "Whats up Gays and Gals!?" Maybe its a creators choice lol. Love the reaction btw

Many of the movies named below are awesome. Glad you're exploring the genre of Asian cinema. Hope to watch more of your reactions.

Top notch reaction, I don’t expect anything less when it comes to your content. Keep it up. Somebody please help me with the name of a movie: I believe it’s general tso something. He is a general and gets captured. He has 8 or 9 sons who go out to get him back. Won’t spoil the movie with what happens but I know someone knows the name.

Ahhh, the horrified face of someone watching a Takashi Miike movie first time through. 😨

Ghost And The Darkness! A great Val Kilmer movie

Love this movie bro. Now this is about 100th time I keep asking for you to react to a New Zealand movie bruh. ONCE WERE WARRIORS.

This is a good one!!! One of my favorites.

Brother Devin! There are so many badass samurai films. The rabbit hole is DEEP. I would love to see you react to Harakiri (1962). Likewise I would also love to see you react to Yojimbo (1961). Really enjoy watching your reactions - keep 'em coming!

Hell yeah. I liked this movie

Great movie 👍👍

I love "13 Assassins." It doesn't romanticize the samurai; they were b-rut-tal, and this movie shows it. It's the Japanese version of Titus Andronicus.

found your channel the other day and been on a binge you should also react to 47 Ronin

I'd strongly recommend Blade of The Immortal (taken from the manga) the dude kills 1000 people I think in the movie

Gangs of New York with Leonardo DiCaprio!

Found your channel a few day ago. I like your reactions and the movies you watch! Just subscribed to you! ;-)

Thx for another entertaining Reaction , much appreciated in this F´d up times

Great reaction... Maybe check out Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon...Not a samurai film, but fun fight sequences by the same fight coordinator that did The Matrix Yuen Woo-ping

If you enjoyed this watch 'Yojimbo'. Contender for manliest movie ever. Then watch the Zatoichi movies, in whatever order. You'd appreciate Shintaro Katsu, and no one else is doing those, which is a pure shame.

First awesome reaction sir

Oh, HELL YES! Love this film! ... well, that work I brought home is going to have to wait now!

Peace Mr. Devin G, good movie...to get a greater understanding of the life style of 'the way of the warrior...the way of the samurai' read, "THE BOOK OF FIVE RINGS", "BUSHIDO", "HAGAKURE - The Book of the Samurai" and "CODE OF THE SAMURAI"....OOHRAH!!! DEVIL DOG!!!

I recommend Equilibrium starting Christian bale

Please watch Taking Chance. Maybe make it a short or something but please watch that movie.

Zatoichi is also a nice samouraï film 😉

Shinobi: Heart of the blade. 🔥

The 13th warrior,1996 or around that time...

Watch *HEAT* that's one awesome movie with an All-Stat cast.

Watch "Requiem for a dream". But do it on a night you can get drunk after, you're gonna need a couple of stiff ones after.

Check out "Outrage" and "Outrage 2" also any Zatoichi films

Generation Kill is what you need to react to next

👍

Must watch: intouchables Butterfly effect

This movie goes hard..
