    Kiku is kind of a real one here; she knows how bad Marino wants to act on what she’s feeling and Kiku is really setting her up to be in an environment where she could feel a little safer acting on it.

    Kiku must have realized the relationship between Mariko and Anjin. However, in those days, adultery was punishable by death. This is a very powerful scene that expresses Mariko's complex emotions.

    • @michaelhall2709
      @michaelhall2709 Před 6 dny

      Yes, adultery was serious enough that in the novel Toranaga privately hopes that Buntaro has no proof of such an affair, since if he did he would need to kill him, as he needs Blackthorne and Mariko more than he needs Buntaro.

    @jfmgunner Před měsícem +123

    There is a moment where Mariko stops translating Kiku's word as "she" and decides consciously to say "I",and thus expresses her own true feelings. At that moment the scene immediately transforms.This show achieves moments of pure adrenaline and profound beauty in a way very few ever have.

    • @JimTempleman

      That was Kiku's intention. That was why she moved behind Mariko (from Anjin's perspective) before giving the 'explanation.'

      @@JimTempleman Exactly. I think it's important that there is a fellowship amongst the women of this society. They all bear the burden of the men around them. They use them as pawns in their political schemes or just simply abuse them. In this Willow World, she can sense much more than just the needs of men, but also precisely identifies Mariko's suffering and provides a brief escape from it. I was happy to learn in episode 7 that Anjin was also affected by this moment of honesty and stayed faithful to Mariko.

      however, their affection for each other went to an end at EP9. Toronaga knew all along that when Mariko die inside Ishido's castle, most elite and high ranks officials will side to Toranaga.
      That's why Mariko "should die". Anyway, it's been a long awaited death. Feel sorry for John Blackthorne. I was on the edge of my seat when John approached Mariko to second her.

      My dilemma is.... how will they squeeze all the story and plot in less than an hour last episode?
      - Beheading of Yabushige branded as a traitor.
      - Return of Blackthorne to Edo
      - Confrontation between John and Toronaga
      - Preparation of war of both sides
      - The actual battle.

      Kiku clearly is a student of the human heart and understands that Mariko is trapped in her allegiance to duty, but also has her own hidden passions and affections. Kiku in effect gives Mariko a means to voice those passions without revealing herself. Her invitation to Mariko to "join" is as if to say, I will be your proxy. Blackthorne for all his brashness, softly touches Mariko's hands as if to say this touch, this affection I reserve for you.

      That makes sense! I was wondering why they showed that flashback during a very romantic and sexually charged moment. I figured it was because she couldn't contain herself anymore as she was being forced to break down her fences and was releasing a whole lot of emotions. But it makes more sense that she's using those memories to remind herself of duty and retreat into the 8 fold fence. Brilliant.

    I love how this scene was shot, it’s similar to the one where he speaks to Toranaga, I’ll explain: in that scene, the interpreters begin having a level of focus and presence in the shots, but, after a while and after the two are fully in sync, they both are the sole figures in the frames, showcasing that they were now actually talking to each other and acknowledging one another to the fullest.
    Here, there’s a twist, Mariko completely obscures Kiku and appears all by herself while Kiku talks, that’s because Kiku isn’t really the one saying these things, it’s Mariko expressing her feelings through her even if she didn’t explicitly gave an order for this, Kiku could just tell what was up, and, as she said, she couldn’t bear to see her miserable, hence, she said the things Mariko herself couldn’t utter.
    This show is something else, the soundtrack is hauntingly beautiful, the costumes are very accurate and incredibly pretty, the acting is out of this world, the writing is ingenious and senseful and the cinematography for a scene like this one completely understands what should be conveyed and how. I wish for this show to set an example of what quality TV is so that others follow suit, I also wish for the series to win countless awards.

    When this scene started, I thought it to be three people trapped in their circumstance. Now I see there was only one who is free, and that's Kiku. She knew her place and her role in the world. She was neither upset nor angry. Instead, she serves to please her master who in turn looks after her. And she also serves to help the two of them to be free from whatever bothers them in the real world.

    Although ``SHOGUN'' itself is fiction, it is based on historical events and figures.
    Mariko is based on Akechi Tamako or Hosokawa Gracia, daughter of Akechi Mitsuhide.
    Mitsuhide was serving Oda Nobunaga, but he rebelled and assassinated Nobunaga.
    Soon after the death of Nobunaga, Mitsuhide was defeated by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who unified Japan after that.
    With Hideyoshi's intercession, Hosokawa Tadaoki, Tamako's husband, kept her under surveillance in Osaka. Until then, Tamako had believed in Zen Buddhism, but Catholicism captivated her and she converted.

    I don't know why some think this was a "masterclass," scene. It was supposed to be nice relaxing, fun evening turned out to be a patronizing male bashing. Blackthorne was a gentleman to Kiku in the book and the 80's version not the nervous wreck here and she was polite and entertaining. I get it was to highlight the sexual tension between the two leads but Kiku wouldn't risk her house or her employers reputation by pushing both Blackthorne and Mariko to act out their desires. The book was far more subtle with this scene.
