Story line
Emi
Hoso is a lawyer with no talent. She is clumsy and screws things up all the
time. The only reason why she became a lawyer was to honor her father who is as
well a lawyer, Teruo Hoso.
One
day, Emi gets a case which is a murder, the client was accused by killing his
wife. Although her client claims that he was innocent, he wasn’t at home at the
moment when his wife die, the only witness who can proof his absence is a
ghost. In order to defense the case, Emi goes to the hotel where the client was
staying at, and meet the ghost, the spirit of samurai, Rokubei.
Rokubei is
a 400-year-old ghost, because he also died of a false accusation, he accepts
Emi’s request without second thinking and is willing to do the testimony for
her client. However, there is only a small group of people can see Rokubei, not
to mention he is a died person legally. Besides, Rokubei is a ghost and can
only appear after dark. How to bring him to the court and make his testimony be
heard by the judge and jury is merely impossible.

What I like about the movie
1.
For comedy, it
is kind of plane to create a funny person as a comic character, but if the
comic character is someone who is very serious, then it could be very funny.
2.
A person can be
funny be appearing in the wrong place.
3.
The performance
of the actors are really good. It is not that easy to avoid eye contacting
while acting, by their performing, it feels like the ghost is really
transparent.
