Gonna be trash, the main jap woman isn’t even full jap
Also white man bad, women the best and powerful, I bet they’re going to put browns in it and make them infaillible and virtuous

Let me tell you something that might be a bit dangerous. I was raised in Japan. I was schooled in martial arts. I was given the title of master. They take a movie “The Last Samurai.” They have a 5-foot-2-inch little guy, whether he was straight or gay, I don’t know. I don’t care. He had never been to Japan. He doesn’t speak Japanese. He has never held a sword. They make him the Last Samurai. We got 450,000 phone calls [laughs] from everybody in the world saying, “That role was perfect for you. How did that happen?” Most of the people I know didn’t like the film and didn’t go see it. It’s just a classic example of Hollywood and the politics.
>be me >member of a warrior caste >refuse to go with the times and don't accept that guns are pretty useful >get blown the frick out (both literally and figuratively) by some peasants who trained for 3 months who are being lead by some random probably alcoholic general >"H-hah, at least we will die with honoruu and a hundred years later some fat neckbeards will buy our swords who were inferior to european swords anyway"
Why were they like this?
Yeah the film makes a big deal of them sticking to "the old ways" like archery and eschewing guns
Meanwhile irl the samurai fricking loved guns
They were really opposed to the emperor's reforms and increased foreign trade & social trends
Also the emperor had usurped power formerly belonging to the samurai class
Film just makes it new bad old good, which is fine
What do you guys think about the remake of the origional last samurai they're making? Think it's going to be as kino as the first?

He wasn't, and his character shouldn't have been American.
The last samurai was Katsumoto.

the original last samurai who the film was based on was french you dumbfrick
then what's the issue Tom Cruise could just as well have been French
After watching the movie I'm 100% certain he wasn't French.
You understand that's not what the title means, right?

They died on their terms int heir way while you will die a prisoner of the elite in your pod eating bugs
at least they fought.
>Hah, we died, making us the victors!
>W-wait, we lost all influence and our only legacy are some LARPing neckbeards from America?
The rest of the world accepted that "better guns = more useful". Simple as.
>haha! we live! eating bugs in our pod under the rule of israelites!
to go with the times and don't accept that guns are pretty useful

*influences a generation of Asian women*
>fricks man who killed her husband
I'm sure her sons were cool with it when they grew up and understood what happened.
>tell me how xhe died
>No. I will tell you how xhe hanged
Quality thread.
>kills Japanese man
>his wife falls in love with him and lets him breed her
>his community and family accept his murderer as one of their own
This movie was strange.
man imagine being that japanese guy, first you get rekt then you get double cucked
Well it was tom cruise.
Movie? Why do you think I'm moving to Japan? Cant wait to meet my new wife
What's wrong with making amends for killing a man by taking care of his wife and children?
