@kfist@pl.smuglo.li Well, an accurate historic view would have been a flop in Western theaters. Introducing a western observer was a narrative expedient to introduce the viewers to a different world and historic context. I think The Last Samurai is already taking considerable risk for a Hollywood production in pushing all those non-western values along with a ruinous ending.

Far from being my favorite samurai movie, this is definitely my favorite Western-made one.
