film.virgilio.it: «Un marinaio inglese, John
Blackthorne, pilota di una nave olandese, naufraga con alcuni compagni sulle
coste di un Giappone ancora feudale e chiuso agli occidentali, dove il potere
politico è nelle mani di due potenti capi: Ishido e Toranaga. Costoro vengono
indotti dai gesuiti cattolici a credere che i nuovi arrivati, protestanti, siano
messaggeri del diavolo. Toranaga, tuttavia, decide di salvare la vita a John che
conquista la sua fiducia fino a diventare il primo Samurai non giapponese della
storia».

«Based on the epic novel by James Clavell, Shogun originated as an
epic five-part television miniseries, filmed on location in Japan. Richard
Chamberlain stars as John Blackthorne, a 17th century British sea pilot in
charge of a Dutch vessel. Shipwrecked off the coast of Japan, Blackthorne is in
danger of being executed by the suspicious, reclusive Japanese hierarchy, but
before long he has been accepted into the local culture. Accordingly, he begins
to think of himself as Japanese, adopting the nation's customs and, while
wearing the robes of a Samurai warrior, helping to defend the land against its
enemies. The arrival of Blackthorne unfortunately arouses the interest of
European empire-builders, who hope to add Japan to their holdings. Toshiro
Mifune costars as Toranaga, a warlord who befriends Blackthorne, and Yoko
Shimada appears as Mariko, the interpreter who eventually falls in love with the
Englishman. When it first aired in September of 1980, Shogun caused
eyebrows to raise with its seemingly reckless disregard of certain TV taboos:
for example, one man is beheaded in full view of the audience, while another
relieves himself on the body of an enemy. Most of the early dialogue sequence
are in Japanese, which resulted in complaints from many monolingual viewers. As
a result, the 1983 rebroadcast of Shogun included English narration by
Orson Welles. The 125-minute feature version of Shogun, prepared for home
video, includes English subtitles--as well as several originally excised scenes
of nudity and excessive violence».
