THE LAST SAMURAI
Tonight, I watched THE LAST SAMURAI with my friends. It is really a nice movie. Watching the movie, you will find out so many beautiful sceneries that reflect Japanese culture at that time and give pleasure to the senses.
I can not describe well the movie in english, but there are a few words about it being kept in my mind.
Honor
perfection
High-spiritual
strong-willed
courteous
noble
Besides, there are a few impressive parts in the movie. Such as, there is the special form of "conversation" between Captain Algren and Katsumoto which is very attractive. And, at the end (it is a very touching part of the movie), Captain Algren took the samurai sword (katana) of Katsumoto to the King of Japan. Too much..... but i can't type more details here due to my english level. If you are interested to know some of thie movie, please surf http://lastsamurai.warnerbros.com/html_index.php
Anywhere, the extremism of arrogance during World War II has overshadowed the traditional culture of Japanese which is so "beautiful". The negative image of Japanese has been rooted in many peoples' mind, especially those who used to suffer the colonization of Japanese. Yet, some of the Japanese nowadays are still arrogant. But, I think bad thing is harder to be erased from mind, so there are very little people who still remember the "beauty" of Japanese culture and spirit. Anywhere, I think it will be more pleasure if we look more on the positive side of it. Don't you think so? Sometimes, we should look for the positive parts of someone or something rather than criticize and keep on criticize and "remember" those negative parts. I, myself, always do the "criticizing part". It seems to be i am also the one who should improve more. ^_^
