@giu76034347 i understand what you mean , its a bit true but not at all, french and japon military culture have some similitude , and that become a passion , bushido
wow, this reminds me of my dissertation and third year history! Meiji Revolution was the most amazing module I ever had the pleasure of learning not just at university *reads comments on Saigo Takamori and smiles* going to Japan in October, can't wait to see it all first hand
@24Pudders kyushu would be the last place they would ever fight. that's the Satsuma and Choshu territory, the pro-Empire clans. The Aizu and other pro-Shogun forces fled north because they were pushed out from Honshu.
@24Pudders The film creates a bit of confusion because it draws inspiration from the Boshin Wars and the Satsuma Rebellion. The two events are about seven years apart, but events from both take place side by side in the movie. In reality, the Boshin Wars and Satsuma Rebellion were completely separate events.
wow, men, good fine!! the history of this man is extraordinary, like wolfen443 said, better than the film The Last Samurai, the music is great, and your work is amazing, congratulations, is an very very emotional short and a honour for all the people of France have a hero like Jules Brunet, France have a great history in this world, but look like there are not interest than people know about it,french governemnt and producer must do anything about it, greetings
I hate so much how Americans and British try to rewrite history.But we still have man like thecajuncutthroat that go against the tide! Thank God for that! Long live France heroes like Jules Brunet!
@ImperialGuard9001 Rewrite history! What have the British done ? If in the future people learn history from films they will think the Americans done just about everything.
@tharleyify Thats true but Anglo Saxons normaly have a bigger influence. And so its not only Americans altougth they are the larger party in today world on cultural influence based on ignorance and mislead facts.
@JINATAHISAKAZU As for Nathan Algren altougth Jules Brunet is one of its inspiration Brunet never fougth with samurai attire and fough with Western Uniform such as most of his men Japanese or European now theres a sailor that did wear Samurai attire his name was Eugène Collache a French Navymen. As for Katsumoto rebelion I would say is after the Boshin War and the Resistance at Hokkaido in Ezo Republic is when the samurai that suport Imperial faction revolted against it
@rjvash1997 Well, you can read what people back then wrote about Americans, apparently they felt mistreated by them, it got worse directly after WWII when the Americans started raping people, even started kidnapping women from Korea or the Philippines to bring them to Japan. Also, the Japanese complain about human rights violations & molestations by US troops in Okinawa until today. Are these "accomplishment" in your eyes? It gets worse when talking about Philippine-US history.
I didn't know anything about Jules Brunet and the French mission to Japan. I don't know if the movie was based on this story but I can see how it could have been. Fascinating! Thanks to you for posting this. I do wish, however people wouldn't post peripheral, ad hominem, piffle about matters that don't pertain to the story you wanted us to see.
Gee dude, not to interrupt some Frenchman's rabid America is so evil rant but the clue that Last Samurai wasn't about this Brunet might just be that Wounded Knee happen in 1876 about five years AFTER the Boshin War of 1867-69
It is a shame that such old and interesting culture like ancient japan had to come to an end. I speak also of my country (Portugal), and any country for that matter... that had such old history, but I guess we all have to move on with times.
@nelsoncarmo26 : Fight against modernization is burying your own tomb. The Japanese saw how every single nation was being colonized by the western states and had no other option. I would not like myself to be a peasant in the ancient chinese-class societies ( or a peasant in the XVI Portugal or Spain )
@hayunspain You are right. Every western european country had a ruthless past, and although i would have like to see how it was back then, I wouldn't do it as a peasant. From portugal to the UK, they were bad, mean, ruthless killers, who took over, destroyed, consumed, then moved on some place else, rinse and repeat. But... The japanese were not so innocent as you are trying to portrait, they too had their share of ruthless killing. They too tried to invade china a few times.
During the great war, WW1, the French and the Australian solider fought and died defending the sovereign of France. Australia also, will always be a friend of France.
The shogun only rose to power early in the 17th century. Before that the entire country was divided and ruled by individual daimyo. Therefore saying that the shogun had held power for 600 years before Meiji regained control is innaccurate.
@Wonnex130 face it , your most likely going to be a lowly peasant with very limited freedom and had to die for the lord when war comes but you get no credit, your just there to block arrows for the higher class, but if you survive, you get to go back to farming and rationing :D yay
Thanks for posting. Mention of French officers practicing martial arts is interesting. Of course, France has their own fighting traditions, including savate.
I'm wondering if the French officers made any comparisons with their own fighting traditions with that of Japan.
The Japanese were once a culture of unique beauty and tradition. But now, many of the people have wiped out their traditions and Japan's now a place of electronic distractions and Lady Gaga-style merchandise.
I feel ashamed that people feel that a lifestyle filled with lifeless machines and computers is so much better than a simple way of life. I only pray that humankind won't lose it's way any further
@Wonnex130 This was a good time and a bad time too. Just like every other time in history. The best time for YOU my friend though is NOW because you live in the now.
@davetileguy just admite that your country lost a war lol. look what the vietnam war did to the American people... it forced a divide down the entire country. mass protests and violence. that's exactly what the NVA and VC wanted, and they got. even though that war was completely uncalled for and should never have started.
@TheKneekap Yes we lost the PR war ,the fact that we could nuke the whole world would seem to make you understand that we voluntarily pulled out. As for why we were there it was a commitment we made at the time by your hero JFK .If you want to see a loss look up the French's invasion of Vietnam that was a pathetic route .
@davetileguy spoken like a true drone to the institution. the fact you could nuke the whole world doesnt mean jack shit. Russia could nuke the whole world, the UK could also nuke the whole world. as soon as 1 country launches a nuke, consider the entire world gone. very immature excuse for a countries power.
the U.S forces could not match the NVA and VC with skill. the only way to do it was to saturation bomb, use CAS, and overwhelming firepower. inflicting massive collateral damage.
@TheKneekap Whatever ,so every nuke country could squash them you just admitted my point. what propaganda? what source is touting we won? I just go by the facts.
@davetileguy i'm talking about the knock-on effects of launching a nuke retard. the only point in having nuclear weapons today is as a deterrent against countries who also have Nuclear weapons. i VERY much doubt they will ever be used as a weapon again. i don't think you fully understand the methods behind propoganda... they arn't stupid enough to "tout". but they will push it in there somehow, you just need to be smart enough to spot it.
French invasion of Vietnam, a "pathetic route"? As far as i can tell, the French defeated the Chinese & invaded Indochina (Vietnam+Laos+Cambodia). They settled there during 80 years. USA (with mass bombing, napalm, chemicals, unlimited credits etc...) didn't stay more than 15 years. This is what i call "pathetic"...Never saw an Anglo-Saxon with a real historical culture. What a pity.
@indexelbow Yeah, you people go ahead & argue who slayed more Asians, pillaged the most villages, raped the most women & who is a more vicious imperial power in total. Are you two actually aware with what you are trying to boast with here?
Sorry but you are totally off-topic.I'm not here to say "i've the biggest one because i killed more".We're not here to make some naive & manichean history. Empires and colonizations are not a specific Western history as you seem to think. It's the world history. You can't summarize it in looting and rape. As far as I can know, before the French era, Vietnam was a Chinese colony. The Red Khmers (indigenous) killed far more Indochinese people than French colonization ever did etc
@aclock2 who told you that ? over 2000 nukes have been detonated in our atmosphere ,In Nevada's old test site you can take a tour , same goes for Chernobyl ,Nagasaki and Hiroshima , before you come off with your insane statements hating me for being right Google it.
@davetileguy There is a huge difference between testing nuke and real nuke, and most of those 2000 were tests. And there is a reason why people do not use nuke so often, don't you think ? I'm sure it's not about morality or anything like that. Also, I don't hate people for being right or wrong. Even if I did, I would love you in this case.
okay this is really great i learned lots of things but the way i see it he didn't led the samurai he led the modern army the kind of army that jules is used to i mean i might be wrong anybody wanna correct me be my guest
The last samurai was the greatest movie ever. It was a perfect blend of western culture with the fuedel culture of Japan. From the minute I started watching it I was drawn in hook line and sinker. I recomend it for every person out there!!!!!
turn bad? what are you a five year old? they fought for their country till the very end, till the U.S.A threw 2 nuclear bombs in their country, them! they stopped fighting, but i guess there's never gonna be a movie about this.
@joaoluizsn ....uhhh, they blindsided america at pearl harbor, and teamed up with germany to try to take over the world... i mean just google WWII and read about pre-war events with invasions of China, Soviet Union, Mongolia.... Your claim is that they gloriously fought for their country? If you don't want to eat plutonium... don't make a peace agreement with someone, and then stab them in the back... I would generalize their behavior as "bad". Now go watch "Patton" and stfu.
@hoorayitsjohn In my humble opinion, U.S. blindsided Japan with the first a-bomb. There would have been more humane ways of demonstrating the weapons power to the japanese, but no. Live test subjects were needed or should I say wanted, thus only a vague warning without any sign of what's to come and then, boom. I would generalize this behaviour as "bad". It's all in the point of view.
@TheDimotheus Although dropping the bombs in Japan were devastating, it saved millions of lives on both sides. Japan wasn't going to give up, America had to force them to give up and the atomic bomb was the only way.
Dad lost brother, best friend & all innocence one Dec. day in 1941. They were stationed on ships in Pearl Harbor. U.S. was NOT at war with Japan. U said "blindsided"? Japan ALLIED THEMSELVES WITH ADOLF HITLER (Yes, allies). In a sneak attack they tried to wipe out the entire Navy all at once. Generalize that behaviour. I'm not defending the use of the Bomb. Don't know how/why of it. But how long did air-raids on Tokyo go? Japan wouldn't give in. Think most regretted it
@MrLegendman13 well when it comes to war (though for the sake of any possible arguement Nazi German, was bad) however there is no good and bad just horro that comes with war. And when in the western point of view we look back at Japan's methods during the World War we must understand that's how they fight with the spirit of an old world warrior culture which in the 20th century was pretty cruel.
@Yojimbo13david im sorry condoning the rape of women and the slaughter of children and unarmed people will never be explained away to me. thats straight up evil. sometimes individuals do bad things, but japan condoned it. theres a big difference. WW2 might be the only war in recent times that you can very clearly dub a good side and a bad side. WW1 was just an unfortunate misunderstanding. WW2 was about world dominance and the purposeful slaughter of innocent people.
@Yojimbo13david Oh come on, you can't say that there's no good and bad in a war, then say that Nazi Germany is bad.
That's logically invalid man. What Germany did was horrible, but their frustration had a lot to do with being forced to starve and die through the Treaty of Versailles.
that is called the superman sindrome...no doubt America is a great nation, with great man, but you have other grat nations, look to the Portuguese, we "discoverd 1/5 of the world, when everybody believed that the earth was flat...and regarding Japan clousure to the rest of the world, the Portuguese were the only ones aloud to go there...
You seem to be forgetting the Dutch, who where let into japan because of their protestant religion, not seeking to convert the japanese to christianity.
As a matter of fact, the 500-year relationship between japan and the netherlands was celebrated in the city of Leiden 2 years ago.
no, the ban was after the dutch arrived. why would you insta-think they were quickly replaced by the dutch?. and japanese always despised chinese, before portuguse discovered sea route to japan.
Very good and most historically enlightning video. However, the words on the screen are not diplayed long enough to read them, while also trying to look at the photos/drawings to get the whole picture/meaning.
and once again the truth is more interesting then the fiction, don't get me wrong i enjoy the movie but the truth will always be better then the fiction.
Many movies made by the american film industry are a distorsion of truthful history, I just have seen U-571, what is all but a lie about real events, you just have to replace US crew by Brits
@borncoza This is normal. US Americans just don't seem to respect other cultures & historical accuracy. Instead they always present themselves as the best. I think this is why they have this distorted world view & are completely oblivious of what is going on around themselves.
@GaolisVideoLog It's sad that We americans turn on the news and all we hear about is celebriies , politics, and wether Will and Kate are gonna have a baby.... The news media sucks.
@borncoza That is completely true , american hollywood tries to change history with actors in films. People watch it and belive thats what really happened , when the truth is far from

Une 3° fois pour apprécier les détails de ces nombreuses images d'archives (sont elles d'archives ou technologie de montage).Puis je reviens à nouveau la visionner. Trois mots me viennent à l'esprit:
those who learn japanese history in my country know that the war against the pendagon-shaped castle (3:10) was the final war in that chaotic times. the meiji emperor didnt have any ability to control the military nor pursue the civil war after the calm edo period. the government must have looked for military experts among others coming from france, england, america and dutch. the new meiji government hired him means that he was in the confidence of the government. i really wonder why...
Magnifique! Très belle vidéo! Je croyais que c'était un anglais qui avait inspiré le film Le Dernier Samouraï. Comme quoi on n'est pas assez informé...
They supported the Emperor because they thought the Emperor would give them glory and peace to continue with their Samurai warfare. This was their biggest mistake though, because when the Emperor had crushed the Shogunate, he turned war against Saigo and the Samurais. They were actully the last Samurais. In 1877, they fought a battle (400 samurais) against the Imperial Army (30 000 men). They all died...
i love samurais i which i was one!!!!! =D

Russia could nuke the whole world, the UK could also nuke the whole world. as soon as 1 country launches a nuke, consider the entire world gone. very immature excuse for a countries power.
the U.S forces could not match the NVA and VC with skill. the only way to do it was to saturation bomb, use CAS, and overwhelming firepower. inflicting massive collateral damage.

@davetileguy i'm talking about the knock-on effects of launching a nuke retard. the only point in having nuclear weapons today is as a deterrent against countries who also have Nuclear weapons. i VERY much doubt they will ever be used as a weapon again. i don't think you fully understand the methods behind propoganda... they arn't stupid enough to "tout". but they will push it in there somehow, you just need to be smart enough to spot it.
now please go harvest some IQ. goodbye

French invasion of Vietnam, a "pathetic route"? As far as i can tell, the French defeated the Chinese & invaded Indochina (Vietnam+Laos+Cambodia). They settled there during 80 years. USA (with mass bombing, napalm, chemicals, unlimited credits etc...) didn't stay more than 15 years. This is what i call "pathetic"...Never saw an Anglo-Saxon with a real historical culture. What a pity.

Sorry but you are totally off-topic.I'm not here to say "i've the biggest one because i killed more".We're not here to make some naive & manichean history. Empires and colonizations are not a specific Western history as you seem to think. It's the world history. You can't summarize it in looting and rape. As far as I can know, before the French era, Vietnam was a Chinese colony. The Red Khmers (indigenous) killed far more Indochinese people than French colonization ever did etc

@aclock2 who told you that ? over 2000 nukes have been detonated in our atmosphere ,In Nevada's old test site you can take a tour , same goes for Chernobyl ,Nagasaki and Hiroshima , before you come off with your insane statements hating me for being right Google it.
davetileguy 1 month ago
@davetileguy There is a huge difference between testing nuke and real nuke, and most of those 2000 were tests. And there is a reason why people do not use nuke so often, don't you think ? I'm sure it's not about morality or anything like that. Also, I don't hate people for being right or wrong. Even if I did, I would love you in this case.

@joaoluizsn ....uhhh, they blindsided america at pearl harbor, and teamed up with germany to try to take over the world... i mean just google WWII and read about pre-war events with invasions of China, Soviet Union, Mongolia.... Your claim is that they gloriously fought for their country? If you don't want to eat plutonium... don't make a peace agreement with someone, and then stab them in the back... I would generalize their behavior as "bad". Now go watch "Patton" and stfu.
hoorayitsjohn 4 months ago
@hoorayitsjohn In my humble opinion, U.S. blindsided Japan with the first a-bomb. There would have been more humane ways of demonstrating the weapons power to the japanese, but no. Live test subjects were needed or should I say wanted, thus only a vague warning without any sign of what's to come and then, boom. I would generalize this behaviour as "bad". It's all in the point of view.

@TheDimotheus Although dropping the bombs in Japan were devastating, it saved millions of lives on both sides. Japan wasn't going to give up, America had to force them to give up and the atomic bomb was the only way.

Dad lost brother, best friend & all innocence one Dec. day in 1941. They were stationed on ships in Pearl Harbor. U.S. was NOT at war with Japan. U said "blindsided"? Japan ALLIED THEMSELVES WITH ADOLF HITLER (Yes, allies). In a sneak attack they tried to wipe out the entire Navy all at once. Generalize that behaviour. I'm not defending the use of the Bomb. Don't know how/why of it. But how long did air-raids on Tokyo go? Japan wouldn't give in. Think most regretted it

@MrLegendman13 well when it comes to war (though for the sake of any possible arguement Nazi German, was bad) however there is no good and bad just horro that comes with war. And when in the western point of view we look back at Japan's methods during the World War we must understand that's how they fight with the spirit of an old world warrior culture which in the 20th century was pretty cruel.
Yojimbo13david 4 months ago
@Yojimbo13david im sorry condoning the rape of women and the slaughter of children and unarmed people will never be explained away to me. thats straight up evil. sometimes individuals do bad things, but japan condoned it. theres a big difference. WW2 might be the only war in recent times that you can very clearly dub a good side and a bad side. WW1 was just an unfortunate misunderstanding. WW2 was about world dominance and the purposeful slaughter of innocent people.
epanthers2004 4 months ago
@Yojimbo13david Oh come on, you can't say that there's no good and bad in a war, then say that Nazi Germany is bad.
That's logically invalid man. What Germany did was horrible, but their frustration had a lot to do with being forced to starve and die through the Treaty of Versailles.

You seem to be forgetting the Dutch, who where let into japan because of their protestant religion, not seeking to convert the japanese to christianity.
As a matter of fact, the 500-year relationship between japan and the netherlands was celebrated in the city of Leiden 2 years ago.

Look for this movie trailer: "半次郎 Hanjiro, the Last Samurai who strode across the dawn of Japan"
The real LAST SAMURAI in the movie was not the american person, but the japanese. In Japan this person is Saigo Takamori, Seinan War leader.
Anyway, thank you very much for this video! Really good information about french participation about how they tried to help Tokugawa Shogun.
However, in the other side there were also foreign soldiers to help the emperor troops, like in the movie.

@borncoza This is normal. US Americans just don't seem to respect other cultures & historical accuracy. Instead they always present themselves as the best. I think this is why they have this distorted world view & are completely oblivious of what is going on around themselves.

those who learn japanese history in my country know that the war against the pendagon-shaped castle (3:10) was the final war in that chaotic times. the meiji emperor didnt have any ability to control the military nor pursue the civil war after the calm edo period. the government must have looked for military experts among others coming from france, england, america and dutch. the new meiji government hired him means that he was in the confidence of the government. i really wonder why...

Samurai Saigo and his soldiers at 1:34
They supported the Emperor because they thought the Emperor would give them glory and peace to continue with their Samurai warfare. This was their biggest mistake though, because when the Emperor had crushed the Shogunate, he turned war against Saigo and the Samurais. They were actully the last Samurais. In 1877, they fought a battle (400 samurais) against the Imperial Army (30 000 men). They all died...
