Orochi (雄呂血, "Serpent" in English) is a Japanese silent film from 1925. Like most Japanese silent films, it was originally accompanied by a live benshi narration.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The film is a Jidaigeki, set during the Edo period of Japanese history. Heizaburo is a righteous Samurai who is in love with Namie, his master's beautiful daughter. Due to his low-class background, it only takes a series of misunderstandings to turn Heizaburo into a disgraced outcast. Meanwhile, he sees the rich and powerful get away with actual disgraceful behavior due simply to their status. Is there no justice in this world?Originally, the film was going to be titled "Outlaw," but the Japanese censors of the time objected to an outlaw being portrayed as the hero. The title was changed to "Serpent," which confused the censors enough to get through.

Hero with Bad Publicity: Heizaburo is, in fact, a good and noble samurai, but as the film goes along, society just sees him more and more as a dangerous thug.

Bittersweet Ending: Heizaburo is taken away, but at least his beloved Namie has learned that he's a good guy, and she was saved from being raped.

Miscarriage of Justice: Heizaburo is arrested and charged with blackmail, despite the fact that he was actually refusing to take a bribe. Later, he is rearrested for starting a Bar Brawl, except actually he was trying to break it up. And that's not his last arrest either.
