The Last Samurai is dedicated to Akira Kurosawa who made samurai movies such as The Seven Samurai, Ran, Throne of Blood, Kagemusha: The Shadow Warrior, etc. popular in Japan and around the world.
@Moonchild1607 Nothing, people just have a bad disposition towards him because he's a metrosexual and a scientologist. I guess that makes him a bad actor?
This was a good movie. But in reality...the samurai only rebelled because with the Meiji Restoration, it means they were no longer an elite social class. And where they dominated the battlefield in Japan for thousands of years...a peasant with a few days training can shoot and kill a samurai with relative ease. In other words, their rebellion was for purely selfish reasons. Don't believe me? Read some history. Oh...the real rebellions leader was named Takamori.
it was more because of what the samurai stood for was being lost, not that they were becoming redundant.
had they kept all of the principles that the samurai held dear and kept the essence of their culture there might have not been a rebellion. instead though the emperor basically said "fuck everything we have believed in for a thousand years, westerners do things the 'right' way, so we're going to do that too". it was about far more than selfish pride.
in the modern Japanese military bushido still alive. search on google "Japanese ground SDF bushido" and press on "Journeyman Pictures" Japan Military
you find Bushido these days, Military of Japan etc.
