I watched one of the movies I had recorded on the tee-vee tonight.  To be honest, The 47 Ronin part II was hard for me to get through and not a favorite.  Maybe it would’ve helped if I had see part I?  I wanted to check it out because the synopsis looked promising: samurai seek revenge and all 47 of them are sentenced to death by suicide based on a true story. Visually the film had some nice stuff to look at (costumes, hair, a look into different country and different time period). 

This drawing is a paused screenshot from the movie jotted down on paper.  I roughly sketched out the courtyard that these two dudes were sitting in, but later decided to paste over the green-blue notebook paper background instead.  As the movie was in black and white, I was also able to color it however I liked.
