One last thing before I make a rational point.
What the Hell was so great about the last Samurai !? If I were Japanese, I'd be infuriated! The movie made no sense whatsoever! The hero's (who wasn't Japanese, oddly enough, nor a Samurai) very mission made little (he hates his boss for doing his duty, but feels an affinity with the Samurai he killed for doing his duty.. what the..?) sense, and in the end, Led to an irrational loss of life, that benefited nobody, except the Box Office. Enough already!
OK! now, I agree, If you die to save another persons life, people will be grateful for you, but the truth is, you cannot put a price on life! No life is more (or less) valuable than another. The reckless disregard for human life I see in my generation is very worrying indeed.
Suicide is not the answer, though I am glad that some people have developed their own opinions. (Do what works, my parents always say)
However, as much as both sides argue, there will be no end to this debate. Why? because in the end, it all breaks down to your personal values and beliefs, which 1. Cannot be discussed here, and 2. Will never ever be able to be conclusivly approved/disproved.
ok dear righteous i would like to tell you that i study bushido my knowledge on bushido is not imense but rather substantial enough for me to explain something to you. this movie went along with every line of bushido that was in the book the only rule he broke was to disobay his supirior and not talk to him with the proper respect after that the movie was right on the money with bushido so i belive the japanese people will rather enjoy it
it wont be a clasic but it is a rather memrable movie
