The Last Samurai
always had a fascination of watching movies... especially war movies.....always felt the thrill after watching those movies...last week i saw a scene from the Movie The Last Samurai in Zee MGM....i decided to download the movie... is it wort downloading a movie...?? that too an old one... but the scene i saw in the channel inspired me..... to download..... the movie is about the Japanese way... sorry the way of Samurai...
the scene i saw in the channel is this... its a narration of the hero of the movie....
"They are an intriguing people. From the moment they wake they devote themselves to the perfection of whatever they pursue. I have never seen such a discipline. I am surprised to learn that the word Samurai means, 'to serve', and that Katsumoto believes his rebellion to be in the service of the Emperor. "
the next sec , power went off..... the narration is by an American on the living of the Samurai's..... today morning i saw the whole movie... a bit long movie..a movie about the grass root customs of the Samurai's..... though the samurais are cold when it comes to war.. they show more compassion to humanity... they don't believe in destiny.... and they strongly believe in the will factor......
Its about an American Soldier who is hired by the Japanese Govt to train their soldiers in armoury......but he is taken away by the enemy in a war field.. taken to their land a land of Samurais... he is a troubled American haunted by nightmares .. nightmares of his previous wars with Red Indians.... he wonders when he is treated friendly in an enemy camp.. he lives with a family of a widow whose husband is killed by the American..... inspite of his killing the widow treats him with utmost politeness .......he experiences t
he way of Samurais .... started loving their living ... it inspires him to fight war against the emperors's army...
Am not going to narrate the story of the movie in this post... but it is a movie worth watching... and one count is increased in my MUST SEE movie list....
before closing the post, let me quote the final dialogue of the Emperor and the the Hero...
Emperor Meiji: Tell me how he(Samurai Katsumoto) died.
Algren(hero): I will tell you how he lived.
