Alternatives to the "message" of the film

Rating: Null/10 (7 December 2003)

Many people have pointed out that Last Samurai has a doubtful message with regard to the social and political background of 1870s Japan. I recommend to watch "Twilight Samurai(Tasogare Seibei)" to fill that gap. I gives you a much better impression of the Samurais role and status in the 1870s then the "romantic" Hollywood version in Last Samurai. And by the way. Watch Master and Commander for a really good film about history ...
