There is an samurai code, that once one has found the perfect cherry blossom, then he is a samurai. The answer to the riddle is, "they are all perfect". At least that is what the director/producer of this movie, obviously had in mind.
you can't tell really without better video quality but Watanabe sheds the most "perfect" tear i have ever seen in cinema. Truely amazing this scene is.
@FangBoi127 Because its the way of the samurai, To live by the sword, to die by the sword. Nathan obliged him and gave him an honorable death (by the sword). since Nathan was once considered to be his "enemy", katsumoto asked him to kill him, so he could die like a samurai.
If you watch the movie you can hear Katsumoto tell nathan about 30 seconds before this. "You have regained your honor, let me die with mine"
Tom Cruise of the best representatives of the Hollywood film of the best samurai films Alholyood and I liked the cat in the film shot and missed Katsumoto Thank you for the section in front of Hollywood in front of Tom Cruz Bay
he is not regretting his life :) 'cuz he says : The perfect blossom is a rare thing. You could spend your life looking for one, and it would not be a wasted life. !!! i guess now is more clear !
@Fatboyswim123 Well, that's a little blasé. It's more than just 'dude likes flowers'. It's the last line of the haiku he'd been working on, the haiku he could never find an ending to. He found his ending, and in it the peace that comes with it.
@Fatboyswim123 CORRECT! Religious talk among most ppl usually lead to assumption of each individual's own self being overly wise. A sign of stupidity and lack of wisdom no doubt! However, if you take his words w/ the haiku he said, you would realize he was talking about the life as a "whole". Also "seeing perfect" in his death moment means he achieved peace in his heart. Peace...a very strong word, often misinterpreted by many.
@mindsoulbody Because we all live submersed within a finite polarized material realm of opposites one can finally realize that all that seems imperfect is really perfection at any moment in time. Past, present and future.
If you live in the spiritual realm, then this realm offers perfection in all its perfection.
War is complementary to peace as is the beauty of the tree blossoms life complementary to its beautiful wilting death.
This is one the reasons to go to Japan, you find peace and goodness. I know for a fact because not only do i go every year and not go for the toys and etc, but to connect with nature
@2DeathInHonor2 its very much up to interpretation which is why the quote is so deep and spirtual as thejimm2009 said. it seems that he is talking about the chery blssoms themselves but you conceptualizethat he is talking about life itself becuase he simply says "they" are all perfect. it truly is a powerful scene in terms of spirtuality which is why i love it so much:)
As a Zen Buddhist, and dailey practitioner of Zazen, this scene is very spiritual to me. When he says "They were all perfect." as he is dying...it is the essence of Zen.
"a perfect blossom is a rare thing, and even searchingone wiill not be a wasted life".. katsumoto in his last breat- "they all arfe perfect" wasnt a wasted life
no, I'm just not a smug douche bag that watches movies looking for reasons to talk shit because they have nothing better to do. I like to get absorbed in movies and appreciate it for what it is.
If you don't like people's reactions to the stupid shit you say, then shut the fuck up next time.
@AlexBrasil123123 Oh ok cool. How about we back track and take your comment "If you don't like people's reactions to the stupid shit you say, then shut the fuck up next time." - - And just substitute - "If you don't like people's videos and the stupid shit you say, then shut the f*** up next time." And don't wish death on people - bad karma.
Has there ever been a moment where all the blossoms on the Sakura trees bloomed perfectly? If so, I'd love to see it
