Yes, death to all feudal reactionaries and their ossified garbage like chivalry and tradition... Hail liberalism, democracy, capitalism, industry, individualism, and gay nigger-jew domination, worldwide! Huzzah!
In reality they wouldn't even get past the first line of riflemen but for the sake of drama their ultimate demise is the machinegun ( which signifies progress ).
It's not "dishonorable" imo, it's that wars were being fought differently and they were....outdated as weapons.
@cr4yv3n In fact if you read up on the matter they did, they got so much farer than expected even the commander of the imperial army had to retreat to safety.
@TheBigBeav That's simply not true. I'm guessing this battle is based on the Battle of Shiroyama and shows the Samurai doing much better than they actually did. Most of the Samurai died charging the first line of infantry. Those who made it to the line did very well considering the Imperial Armies lack of proper close combat training but were overwhelmed fairly quickly by sheer numbers. Honestly, had they been fighting a more experienced army they would have been slaughtered easily.
You have to recognize that even today, with our automatic weapons and body armor, you would still be impressed and fearful standing at the receiving end of a samurai charge.
@TheLordDz If you saw the movie, your comment indicates that you didn't understand it. If you didn't saw the movie, maybe you should. But more importantly, you should understand what you see.
American always amazing. changed almost all the primer history of the world. in this movie with the only one heroic american, history of japan changed. I also know just one heroic american name rambo has changed the vietnam history of war. Truly amazing !
I love Japanese history & culture but & much as i hate to say it. The Japanese had no real option,other than to take on board all the modern technology that they could afford & to do it as quick as possible. Russia & China are to close for the Japanese to do anything other than join the modern world. & with Great Britain's navy & America's obvious potential they did the only thing that offered Japan security on the world stage. Tool up.
2:40+ is a very emotion filled scene. The music and the general, almost, unfair and brutal way they are cut down by the old gattling guns is very sad.
@SquareCrystal Tanks didn't see operational service the first time until WW1, 1916. Gatling guns were since the Civil War up until 1911 as more efficient machine guns were being produced and put into use.
@SquareCrystal Tanks didn't exist in the 18th century. It is widely accepted that tanks were first used in battle in 1916 at the Battle of the Somme. If tanks had really existed since the 18th century, then the idea of using massed infantry formations charging into no-man's land in WW1 wouldn't have even occurred.
@SquareCrystal So apparently in your world, tanks = men on horses with swords and guns XD. If you're referring to carts or chariots, they are not tanks as they're not equipped with even the most basic form of weapon the tank has - that is, a main gun. You obviously haven't really studied about military history or the development of military tactics, strategy and weapons. If horses were tanks, then they wouldn't have been wiped so quickly by machine guns - something actual tanks can take on.
by referring tanks I didn't mean about mechanical mechanism. you can even use animals to carry out tanks. the source of the energy is not solely based on fossil energy, it's animals including humans can push objects using their biological energy. so what made u think tanks should only depend on mechanical mechanism? u see obviously u proved u think so narrowly.
@SquareCrystal The very fact you say tanks are simply vehicles that are heavy and animal-carried alone is flawed. The term 'tank' wasn't even invented in that time nor was it called that until WW1. It's more than just the mechanism, engineering, size and shape. It's about what goddam role it is used for along with its typical pros and cons.
even before 18th century soldiers used firepower instead of swords. mongols used gunpowder against various nations in 13th century after they conquered the China. so gunpowder has a large history and when Chinese used gun powders whities were in jungles like monkeys and only greek and Rome has a civilization. rest of all North Europeans were totally barbarians. and there were also evidences mongols used Tanks and use gunpowders based weapons to shoot their enemies.
@SquareCrystal The only gunpowder-based weapons used by the Chinese and the rest of Asia throughout this time were cannons or at least something mounted with cannons, along with firearms. The dictionary definition of a tank is not simply something that's large and boxy that simply can shoot the enemy. From your logic, then an ox-cart with a cannon strapped on top of it should be called a tank.
u think u know everything? u know nothing u know whatever wrote on wikipedia but that's it
Asia has a large and great history and through arabic and chinese merchants those knowledge flowed to west that's how white people become civilized. I ain't bragging about our history but truth is that's. tanks have been used through out the history by various nations but western history teaches it's first used in first world war cause British involved with it.
@SquareCrystal Er no, I read my stuff from books from military historians and defense analysts. I've studied this field even before I went to high school. As I have said, such weapons you mention before the 18th century were not even termed 'tanks' by any of the commanders nor did they operate the same kind of role tanks play today.
@SquareCrystal No, I study military history from various countries - if it's a notable feat, it catches my eye. And no, there's no such subject called 'human being military history' - nor is it even the correct way to term it.
@SquareCrystal Tanks were first used in 1916,the gatling gun was first used in 1862.This movie scene is depicting the time around 1876 so do the numbers.Do you get it bitch?God,you're such a retard
whites used Tanks in 1916 and Asians used Tanks in medieval ages. the rumors says the mongols were the first nations who used Tanks successfully in 12th~13th AD century.
but some historian indicates it may have even longer history. it's unlike you find them on shittypedia because most of shittypedia articles are based on white Illuminati ideologies.
@SquareCrystal Source on that? War wagons, while having a similar role, simply cannot be considered an equal to the tanks of the 20th century. The Koreans invented the Hwacha in 1400 and 20 years later the Hussites in the Holy Roman Empire made the war wagon. While the Mongols made fantastic use of engineering feats, there's no evidence they had anything like the devices I mentioned earlier.
the purpose of the tanks is shoot someone from the inside while defending yourself the shooting can be done in various ways. in early days soldiers used arrows like crossbow and in close combats spears because of the technological advancement in early 20th century builtin weapons have been used in the tanks so they could make it much more portable. it doesn't mean they invent something.
the first computer concept was made by Charles Babbage's and he still given the father of computer title. but computers effectively made even after the semiconductors made. so ur point is invalid. how stupid u are to believe 20th century weapons should be equal to medieval weapons. the Tank concept was originated in Asia and u whities used it in first world war doesn't mean it was firstly used in first world war.
Hwacha is something similar to multi barrel rocket launcher not exactly a tank. u see even asian firstly invented the concept of the multi barrel rocket launcher. u proved more and more hos stupid you are while give me some points lmao
now fuck off son of bitch I don't want to listen to ur gibberish. u just a fucking punk.
@SquareCrystal Wow, what spurred your nerd rage right here? Also, drop this act like Asians invented everything in the world, its as stupid as believing the Europeans did. I asked a simple question. First, I asked for a source which corroberates your assertions, which it seems quite apparent you're just basing this invalid hypothesis off of heresay with no evidence. Second, the examples I mentioned were not invented by the Chinese or Mongols AND was not until the 15th century
@SquareCrystal Look at your own posts in a mirror. You say shit like "Illuminati controlled media" or some stupid conspiracy theory shit like that. How can anyone take you seriously when you talk like a paranoid schizophrenic. You think that the world is like a Da Vinci code movie?
@SquareCrystal You don't own this fucking channel. Piss off flaming Asiophile troll. And you can't prove anything you say cause you have an IQ of 5. People like you sit on their ass and contribute nothing to humanity. Just waste away in your corner and get ass raped for all I care faggot.
@SquareCrystal It's quite obvious you don't know anything you're talking about and now that you've been proven wrong, you get all butthurt and flame to your mom.
It was not in 1870, this rebellion was called the Satsuma Rebellion , and it was not Katsumoto the leader of the rebellion. It was Saigo Takamura and it weren't the americans that were training the japanese , the french were. And the scenario is wrong, the gatlings were downhill and the samurais were uphill.
I hate stupid guns the worst invention ever, real men of honor see and kill their enemy/opponent, not hide behind the convenience of a mechanical weapon and killing your enemy with no skill what so ever just pointing and shooting something a 5 year old can do, it takes years of practice with weapons to become a good warrior back in those days. Modern warfare is so cheap you walk on the battlefield and and get hit with a snipers bullet you never seen real warriors use skill up close and personal
@dragoon2784 Would you really liked to have died on the battlefield for hours on end with an axe wound slowly turning septic, or an arrow partially lodged in your lung? Great film, beautiful history, but war is hell - don't be fooled by romance.
@DecmanReturns Having a bullet logged in your chest or half your head blown off by a 50.cal rifle is no different, Im not fooled by romance but I do believe in honor something that dose not exist these days, way back before the 18th century most battles were fought with swords, axes and arrows up close, not 10 mile range rifles. In world war one, 1 in 10 men at least saw their enemy. The method & nature of warfare was more significant back then that it is now there were not as many cowards.
@dragoon2784 Most battles from the 16th and 17th century were also fought with range - cannons and firearms dominated the battlefield early on. Honor in a war comes in various forms, not simply on how you fight the enemy with the equipment you're given. But if you think honor is that important think again - attacks on supply routes, ambushes, attacking the rear, massacres and all sorts of dirty tricks were used long before the 18th century.
@dragoon2784 So apparently in your deluded words, the veterans of WW1 and WW2 are all cowards and were unhonorable simply because they didn't fight the enemy close and personal.
@SquareCrystal Plenty of wars not involving America are more than evidence. The Roman Empire, Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, ancient Macedonia, the British Empire, the Mongol Empire, the 3 kingdoms of Wei, Wu and Shu in China, the Ottoman Empire etc. have all fought for their own advantage and gains. Because that's the reality of war.
@SquareCrystal I'm referring to the armed forces of all said countries. If you think the US Army is any different to any other military force in terms of applying tactics that are only beneficial to them, you're utterly mistaken.
Their worst fucking Emperor ever! It's not as if the europeans would have come to colonize japan, the land had nothing to offer. They lost their fucking honour.
I showed this movie to my friend and said "Look at those cowards afraid of a fair fight, using their guns." and he pissed me off so bad cuz he said "I would do that too, anything it takes to win. The samurai should have built their own guns but they were too stupid."
lawl at tom cruise randomly throwing his sword and killing the enemy commander
he just like "screw it, if we're gonna lose I might as well hurl my sword at the enemy, not like I need it at this point" *throws sword and ends up hitting the enemy general* "oh sweet we're gonna win after all :D"
Allot of people don't know that this is based on the Battle of Shiroyama and the character played by Ken Watanabe is actually based on Saigo Takamori and actually has been called the Last true samurai as there was never an American in the battle or ever captured by Saigo. The Imperial general was Yamagata Aritomo. Saigo was actually positioned on the hill of Shiroyama and the Imperial troops actually attacked up the hill but Saigo's troops attacked downhill. Actually 40 rebels lived.
by far the best scene is the last one: where they charge the gatling guns and looks like there gonna win, then they start firing. its the movie's entire message condensed onto one scene. technology wins, but they still fought on and died. that is why they bowed to them, the bushido code of honor of the japanese. they charged regardless of pain or death, they lost the battle but kept their honor.
Fucking idiots. You don't run cavalry straight at the front lines of firearm infantry and fully loaded artillery and gatling guns. One hour playing Shogun 2 would tell you that. The samurai deserved to die, they should have made a flanking maneuver.
@TheInformalstyle Man they knew the couldn't win! all their forces besides them where dead they knew they would die so they wen't straight in head first to perserve their honour.
Lol, watched a vid about Samuari warriors fighting in the 1800's and all the comments are about Italians fighting in the 1940's. Anyhoo, bows would not have helped, this is a classic case of technology defeating the old tried and true methods of combat.
There is an important difference between the what it's said in the film and the real rebellion this film is refered to: the rebels didn't use guns because they COULD NOT buy, steal or product them. So the romantic idea of the samurais that don't use guns because it's disonorable is a myth. When portuguese brought muskets in Japan in the 16 th, Japaneses started immediatly to copy it and aristocracy adopted immediatly this new weapon as natural successor of their favorite weapon: the bow...
You have to give the Imperial line infantry some credit. They managed to shoot an accurate volley at the charging samurai cavalry, and this time they didn't get totally wiped out.

if they are Americans only. cause Americans fought solely for their own advantage.

@SquareCrystal Plenty of wars not involving America are more than evidence. The Roman Empire, Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, ancient Macedonia, the British Empire, the Mongol Empire, the 3 kingdoms of Wei, Wu and Shu in China, the Ottoman Empire etc. have all fought for their own advantage and gains. Because that's the reality of war.

@SquareCrystal I'm referring to the armed forces of all said countries. If you think the US Army is any different to any other military force in terms of applying tactics that are only beneficial to them, you're utterly mistaken.

I showed this movie to my friend and said "Look at those cowards afraid of a fair fight, using their guns." and he pissed me off so bad cuz he said "I would do that too, anything it takes to win. The samurai should have built their own guns but they were too stupid."

lawl at tom cruise randomly throwing his sword and killing the enemy commander
he just like "screw it, if we're gonna lose I might as well hurl my sword at the enemy, not like I need it at this point" *throws sword and ends up hitting the enemy general* "oh sweet we're gonna win after all :D"

Allot of people don't know that this is based on the Battle of Shiroyama and the character played by Ken Watanabe is actually based on Saigo Takamori and actually has been called the Last true samurai as there was never an American in the battle or ever captured by Saigo. The Imperial general was Yamagata Aritomo. Saigo was actually positioned on the hill of Shiroyama and the Imperial troops actually attacked up the hill but Saigo's troops attacked downhill. Actually 40 rebels lived.

by far the best scene is the last one: where they charge the gatling guns and looks like there gonna win, then they start firing. its the movie's entire message condensed onto one scene. technology wins, but they still fought on and died. that is why they bowed to them, the bushido code of honor of the japanese. they charged regardless of pain or death, they lost the battle but kept their honor.

Fucking idiots. You don't run cavalry straight at the front lines of firearm infantry and fully loaded artillery and gatling guns. One hour playing Shogun 2 would tell you that. The samurai deserved to die, they should have made a flanking maneuver.

Lol, watched a vid about Samuari warriors fighting in the 1800's and all the comments are about Italians fighting in the 1940's. Anyhoo, bows would not have helped, this is a classic case of technology defeating the old tried and true methods of combat.

There is an important difference between the what it's said in the film and the real rebellion this film is refered to: the rebels didn't use guns because they COULD NOT buy, steal or product them. So the romantic idea of the samurais that don't use guns because it's disonorable is a myth. When portuguese brought muskets in Japan in the 16 th, Japaneses started immediatly to copy it and aristocracy adopted immediatly this new weapon as natural successor of their favorite weapon: the bow...

You have to give the Imperial line infantry some credit. They managed to shoot an accurate volley at the charging samurai cavalry, and this time they didn't get totally wiped out.
