Shakespeare and Japanese cinema share a common thread, that thread is a master director Akira Kurosawa. Several films in Kurosawa are Shakespeare's adaptations with Europeans transferred to Japan; The "blood throne" and "Ran", respectively, are "Macbeth" and "King Lear" in feudal Japan. Kurosawa gave his own shot to Hamlet (with the dash of "Count of Monte Cristo") in The Noir Film "Bad Dream Good", a movie that inspired Francis Ford Coppola The way Shakespeare inspired Kurosawa. In Scarlett, however, Shakespeare's adaptation feels much more honest.

Of course, the names of the characters come from Hamlet: Claudius married Scarlett's mother, Queen Gertrud and has miniatures named Polonius, Leutes, Cornelius, Waltemand and Rosencranz and Guildester. Claudius also paraphrases McBet and says his heart is "full of scorpions". When Scarlett faces Claudius with the dragged sword, it is as he kneels as he prayed for God's mercy, just as Hamlet faced his uncle Claudius.

However, the film broke out to set Hamlet in a few minutes, giving us just the absolute most important things to understand Scarlett and a little else. Hosoda's heart seems to be much more in the story of the other world, where Scarlett's search really begins. However, that quest has no urgency and struggles to find a good rhythm; Scarlett's narrative structure may feel like another world. The latest feature of Josoda Bell had some similar sinks for the kitchen sink as cyberpink "Beauty and Astver". The "Bell" narrative was held together for me through frozen emotion and music, but Scarlett reaches similar heights to its end.

Scarlett may be occasionally frustrating experience in general, but at least it's wonderful to look. Animated by Josoda's studio, Cizu, contrasting styles of animation flow alongside beliefs where the story doesn't always. 2-D animation scenes, set in Scarlett's real world, are striking recreation of Europe's monarchy; No detail is spared architecture, furniture or fashion of setting. That's just another reason you want the film to spend more time in that area.

When the film reaches Otherworld, the beauty is not heavily lost. Fluidity and details of Scarlett's movements - especially when she fights with others with the sword - make her look less like she's drawn, more like rotating. However, the critical download of the film is that there is no beauty that can be found in violence.
