    "They say Japan was made by a sword. They say the old gods dipped a coral blade into the ocean, and when they pulled it out four perfect drops fell back into the sea, and those drops became the islands of Japan. I say, Japan was made by a handful of brave men. Warriors, willing to give their lives for what seems to have become a forgotten word: honor."
    The Last Samurai (2003)
    Movie info: www.imdb.com/title/tt0325710/
    Starring: Tom Cruise, Timothy Spall, Ken Watanabe, Billy Connolly, Tony Goldwyn, Hiroyuki Sanada, Koyuki, Shin Koyamada

    What I love about this movie is that where most other movies go to the "White savior" angle where a white man comes into a tribe of a different culture and saves it from destruction, in this movie it's the white man that was saved by the culture. Dude was a broken man on the edge of destruction and was saved by the beauty of this culture that was so different from his own.

    I think we,Japanese, learned to appreciate everything in daily life. Rising sun, shining moon, ocean that give us food, mountains that give us variety of food growing in ground, stone statue (ojizousan) who protect people in the area , etc. Being humble, honest, study and work hard, appreciation and respect are taught when I was a kid. Team work is also valued than individuality. I feel like samurai DNA is passing down to us . However, things are rapidly changing lately in. I hope these precious things last forever.

      The only way you personally can help is to make sure you pass these ideals to your own children and hope they’ll do the same. If you can inspire your inner circle and your children can do the same, that’s how you can preserve these values and customs. I’ve never been to Japan, but I also come from a country with a very long history (Greece), and I understand what it can be like to see those values and knowledge going away with each generation in favor of a more dry and shallow lifestyle so as to not appear “old fashioned”.

    When I was stationed at Misawa Airbase, Japan, one of the many tours I took while in Japan included a quick stop to view the Pacific Ocean a very high cliff. In order to access the view from the cliff, we had to walk through a bamboo forest. The was a slight wind blowing through the bamboo forest from the ocean current that afternoon that instantly put me a peace while walking through. The wind blowing through the reeds and the bamboo leaves gently rustling in the wind is forever ingrained in my memories. One can only experience this sense of peace if you were there, walking in a bamboo forest next to the ocean..

I was walking down a forest path and there near a cliff overlooking the sea the wind was blowing in with cherry blossoms and a deer crossed my path. waited and then proceeded to crouch down and start chewing on a few of the flower petals. The scene will forever be etched in my memory and it is one I will never forget. It was such a spiritual experience for me.

      An idiot is someone who speak without facts. In in eradicating such foolishness, there lies honour. If using cuss word is also a sign of stupidity, simply because the speaker wants to serve facts but she / he doesn't have any. So she / he substitute it with those dirty words. It also shows signs of psychological problem, at the inability ro verbally addrress the issue at hand by thinking & facts.
      Mahatma Gandhi. Faced suffering, followed by millions, lead them to independence. That's honour, in being him and in following him, but not necessarily obey him like God. Soekarno. Faced exile etc, lead Indonesia to independence. That's honour, in being him or to follow him during the fight for independence. Muhammad. Lead billions to light from darkness. And if you want to foolishly take him similar to those terrorists, read the Qur'an & hadith first. Try to find any justification for any terrorism there.
      So, refelct yourself on a mirror. You're clearly speak against honour by simple generalization because you yourself have none. Perhaps because of idiocy, perhaps because of mental problem, or a mixture of both.
      Many leaders also made mistake. And as honour lies in upholding the truth & justice, it is honour in reprimanding them & refusing their orders when they make mistake, instead of obeying them totally. That won't be honour.

      The reality is you will never find “inner peace” by knowing your self. True peace comes from the Lord Jesus He is the only one who can give you such peace. You can search all your life for peace but the truth is, is that He has always been there waiting at the door only waiting for you to knock.

Yes Anwarul Hogue, this is a great movie. The way that the people of Japan received this movie was all that needed to be said of it, and I watch it at least once per year.

    This is such an underrated movie. This was supposed to be Cruise's Braveheart and it did okay but didn't really win any awards or anything and has sort of been forgotten. I highly recommend traveling to Japan sometime. I went a couple years ago when finding a cheap flight and it was great. Tokyo, Kyoto, and Hiroshima in 10 days. Modern and very orderly yet ancient. Kyoto was probably the most beautiful city I have ever been to. I kept thinking of this movie when I was there. Lol.

It is a standard we have set for ourselves and strive to reach that degree of moral perfection. After a tumultuous past, I'm on my path to become a samurai ( not the kind you see in this movie). It may perhaps lead me to serenity one day. I wish you best in your journey.

Katsumoto and his men are the title characters, “The Last Samurai”. Algren was the one who witnessed the last Samurai.

      @@AristonSparta Any Japanese history book on the pre-Meiji era backs up that the samurai were mostly corrupt by then. It runs very counter to the romantic ideal of the noble warrior of service, but that's what happens in nations with a ruling military class.
      It's really straightforward, if not pleasant. One class has the power of life and death; those underneath wishing to not be bullied or killed learn how to bribe and blackmail and spy. Corruption outpaces honor, and becomes the way of things. Thus fell the samurai.
      It doesn't mean the ideals of Bushido are valueless - only that they were not practiced by many who had the opportunity. It is similar to the relationship between western knights and Christianity.
