your comments to my thread has been very informational. Obviously i was talking about Tetsuo's post #, but you are too dumb to figure that out.You are a moron. go talk non-sense in some other thread. but then again i bet pointless name calling is something that isn't new to you.

Get out of my thread you are not wanted.

I guess whenever someone watches a movie in a field that they know a lot about, they tend to analyze the movie rather than enjoy it.

I was talking about England, but many American men died as POW's as well. While we are talking about who the Japs should apologize to, we should add the PhilipinosOriginally posted by: LongCoolMother

Isn't the movie saying the exact opposite? That although the relatively modern superiority of cavalry and firearms ended the age of the samurai, that was actually the far more romantic and 'civilized' age? White man defiles all that he touches, essentially.
that's what i thought....
i thought the movie almost vilianized americans....
donno i liked the movie..didn't care for any accidental political incorrectness...it was a story and that's what i took it as...
i'll probably even buy the dvd because of the beautiful protrayal of 1870s japan and the town and the story and cuz i liked the movie hehehe i'm being so incoherent right now i should be banned but i must study for finals now my mind is going insane

Of course a white guy is at the center of the movie. It has to so most Americans will go see it.
Personally I don't care if it has a white guy in it or not. If I'm going to see a samurai movie i expect to see Asian men. seeing a white guy just ruins the mystic.

I have no idea. never watched it.
If you're gonna blame anyone about Joy Luck Club, blame Amy Tan. Stupid liberal feminist, every book she writes sounds exactly the same. Oh woe to me! I'm female and I'm being oppressed by worthless Asian guy! Hollywood did a very good job of literally portraying her Asian-man-hate.

1) WHITE MAN (Cruise, playing a general) slaughters a village of innocent "redmen", then, feeling guilty about his actions, looks to atone for his sins in a foreign land,
2) namely Japan. Taken captive by the samurai, he learns the Way of the Warrior, & decides he wants to be one of them. Then,
3) WM gets to live in the house of the family of the samurai leader he'd killed in battle prior to his captivity, but for some magical reason the children of the slain man take a quick liking to him. Not only that,
4) but the slain man's widow finds herself attracted to WM. To add insult to the husband's memory, the widow asks WM to wear her hubby's armor in the final climactic battle between the samurai & the emperor's army. Then,
5) WM is not only able to regain his honor on the field of battle, but also gets to enjoy the spectacle of the emperor's army falling tearfully on their knees in reverence of his heroic actions (actual scene, y'all). Oh, & in case I forget--WM is the ONLY survivor on the samurai side. Then,
6) he is able to sway the emperor away from his most trusted advisor, & to assist in the emperor's decision over the future of the land. Then, looking forward to a life of peace in the country, WM retires
7) to the village of the (now obliterated) samurai army, where he finally gets to shack up with the widow, who is overcome with joy at his return.
