About Messiah: The Chosen Ones
On a remote island in Okinawa, a feud dating back to the Ryukyu Kingdom era has been raging. Kisa (Ayaka Morita), who has been living a quiet life on the island, knows nothing of this past. Then one day, strangers dressed entirely in black appear and begin attacking the villagers…
Directed by Seiji Chiba, Messiah: The Chosen Ones leans on a strong ensemble — Ayaka Morita, Satoshi Matsuda, Hoshimi Asai — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2003.
