Bushido - The Cruel Code of the Samurai

Bushido, a.k.a. The Way of the Warrior is the chivalrous code of the samurai that has influenced the Japanese way-of-life for centuries. This epic film spans several generations of a typical samurai family, and illustrates the intricate system of loyalty, honor and sacrifice which bound the samurai in ages past, and which, in many ways, persists to this very day.

This is just a movie.The bushido codes in these movies arn't true, exaggerated and misguided.

A real bushido teaching is moral code and the way of living. Also the teaching apply to everyone.

Movie makers don't care, all they care is to sensationalize to get ppl to watch.

If anyone want to know about a true "bushidou" teaching, read "Bushido" the soul of Japan by Inazo Nitobe.

Seems most miss the point of the video. It is pure as most of their deeds. I see only the last samurai guarding their last emperor and being left to keep their word and thus end their lives. Great Warrior of Honor...we could could use a few right now

@theexpliotedforlife You should have add "based on propaganda" to your last comments.

The Bushido code that the Japanese had resulted in the deaths of 27% of British and commonwealth forces and over 30% of American soldiers capured by Japan. Of the 270'000 Chinese soldiers captured by Japan, why did only 56 survive the World War 2?

@madapina We can't teach you class, or the art of being a humble upon this earth. Only a warrior with honor can teach another. It is for those of heart and hearing. Not bold chests and empty hearts, my brother...Much love on your search for the path. You have not yet found it...erick
