2023-05-03 01:21:00 +0000 UTCI love this movie and great reaction guys. It's relatively accurate. The main inaccuracy is that Samurai did use firearms, and had been for centuries. It's a good symbolic depiction of the Meiji Era in Japan. Japan rapidly modernized, and it was a huge shock to tradition, and the Samurai who enjoyed a certain status in society were suddenly stripped of all of it. Katsumoto is most likely based on Saigo Takamori, who led sort of the last Samurai rebellion against the Meiji government. He died in the battle of Shiroyama, which sort of sealed the end of the old tradition of the Samurai. So it gets the message across really well. I also enjoy how they avoided the "White Savior" issue pretty well by having Algren pretty much powerless to stop anything and just sort of taking part and bearing witness to a change that was unstoppable.

2022-08-12 07:24:56 +0000 UTCThere are VERY few movies that could be truly considered "historically accurate" - Braveheart is great to who cares
