1) The japanese. The end of XIX century, Capt. Nathan Algren(main character), an American military officer hired by the Emperor of Japan to train the country’s first army of the growing sun to contemporary art of rivalry.
The Emperor is trying to eradicate the ancient Imperial warrior class of samurai, in planning for a more pro-Western government policies supporting foreign control. Meanwhile, as a result of collisions with the samurai, Algren finds him self in the middle of the confrontation of two worlds and civilizations, where the only approach to survive is guided by its own concept of reverance. ) Nathan Algren: What do you want? Katsumoto: To know my adversary. Nathan Algren: I’ve seen what you do to your enemies. Katsumoto: Warriors within your country will not kill? Nathan Algren: They will don’t minimize the heads off defeated, kneeling guys. Katsumoto: Basic Hasegawa said to help him end his life. A samurai simply cannot stand the shame of defeat. I was honored to cut off his head. Katsumoto: And who was your general? Nathan Algren: On the web have a rebellion to acquire? Katsumoto: Persons in your nation do not just like conversation? Nathan Algren: He was a lieutenant colonel.
His name was Custer. Katsumoto: I know this brand. He murdered many a warrior. Nathan Algren: Oh, yes. Many warriors. Katsumoto: Therefore he was a fantastic general. Nathan Algren: No . He was not a good standard. He was conceited and foolhardy. And he got massacred because he got a single battalion against two thousand upset Indians. Katsumoto: Two 1000 Indians? How many men pertaining to Custer? Nathan Algren: 100 and 9. Katsumoto: I really like this General Custer. Nathan Algren: Having been a murderer who became adoringly obsessed with his own legend. And his troopers perished for it.
Katsumoto: I think this really is a very good death. Nathan Algren: Well, you can have one main just like this someday. 3) Differences between the 2 cultures of these kinds of countries are incredibly strong as we can see in the dialogue, Nathan Algren protagonist does not really understand what Katsumoto, the digital rebel leader says, but only in the commencing and at the finish of the film author quite clearly shows how Brit understood the ancient tradition of Japan. In this film the best scenes is a heroic death, let’s say, three hundred Japanese who encountered by continuous fire from the guns and howitzers.
Here we are speaking about personal valor and military prize, above all, including , devotion to their ruler or lord. The human personality, which remains 3rd party and free of charge, even in the moment of death, when made�? a mindful choice between fame and infamy, is the main evaluate of value. Which, director showed the viewers by eyes of the protagonist, a foreigner. The fact that he has mastered the culture which this individual didn’t find out at all� and in the end decided to be for that. 4) Finally, I want to admit the main basic principle of your survival in the harsh environment of foreign a lot more adaptation.
And I chose this film since there are clearly shown and slowly but surely as the key character over the film get used to the Japanese environment. The leading part, taken hostage by samurai, gradually turns into a samurai. Contemplation of people indifferent to his very own death, speaks with rebel leader Katsumoto (Ken Watanabe), stating that the person who found the perfect form of a flower, has existed a your life not in vain, a clear rhythm and strict associated with life around make coming from American chief a new guy.
He recognizes why his former enemies’ absolute hero , not really the one who also kept the army and strategic positions, but the individual who led a detachment of 211 soldiers against the two thousandth. And he knows why Katsumoto smiles enjoyably when he noticed that all 300 soldiers had been killed Spartan at Thermopylae, he understands for what reason widow of killed by him Samurai nursed him after staying wounded , killed for a fair battle can not be an enemy. And, realizing this kind of, Olgren has on the captain samurai armor, stands as a way of their new opponents and comes with a sword against weapons and howitzers.
Predetermined result of the struggle, but it absolutely does not matter: fatality , only worthy end of lifestyle as a one ceremony of honor. Consequently , before the last battle, the protagonist gives a simple fact, which takes a long way to me: fate cannot be change or perhaps submit- the fate responsive to reputation only.
