Even though the movie isnt accurate and it has a man that  is able to master the sword in 6 months, the true meaning of the movie is dying for a cause that you you live for. this is what the world that we live in needs. Greed has possesed us all and the merchants that were once the lowest class are now some of the most powerful businessmen today. it is time that some of the old ways are brought back. and yes, i am caucasian and i started taking lessons in kenjitsu a year prior to this movie's release, but i have a better understanding for bushido than some asians like to admit. i think that if people would open there eyes, some of the old traditions will make a revival. think about it, liars and thieves are controlling the population of the world, they prosper while millions are still poor, and suffering. so instead of arguing whether the movie was bad or you dont like tom cruise, look into the true meaning of the movie, and see what saigo takamori was really fighting for. i hope that this comment opened some eyes, and i welcome any comments/hatemail that anyone may email to me.
