Save your honor

Rating: Null/10 (17 May 2004)

***POSSIBLE SPOILERS*** (it really gives everything away if you ask me)
There are some people in this world who realize that, in reality, life's a very empty and depressing thing. How to spend your time on earth? That is the question... an age old one, asked by men all over the world time and time again...
This film is about a group of people who found their own answer to that question. Their philosophy is to concentrate and devote their live's to one single thing; to go down with a blaze. They train very hard to be the best warriors they can be, then they walk around with an I-can-kill-you-with-one-move-look on their faces, which, understandably will eventually p*** someone off. But then again, that is the whole point, you've got to have something to fight for... why not use your arrogance?
This philosophy can, of course, have only two effects; either you dievery quickly (which is OK, life's not that great anyway) or you go around and rule bigtime.
In this film, the Samurai(that's how they call themselves) p*** off some adviser to the Japanese emperor. This advisor then sends lots of
soldiers with superior weapons. The Samurai, true to their philosophy, don't really give a darn... (o yeah, we are introduced to the Samurai via an American soldier, with whom we can identify better because he has the same western culture as us moviegoers)
There you have it in a nutshell, I give the movie 6\10 for making me realize I can always take my own life if things get too worse.
