The Last Samurai: Why I love Japanese culture

Author: Mike Le (09/18/2011)

I love this movie. Not because it is among very few movies that Tom Cruise acted pretty cool. Not because it is a very entertaining movie with great martial arts. It is because it told a beautiful story about Japanese spirit. And about the Way of a warrior. Bushido.

One of my favorite quotes:

The night before the final battle where almost all of them is going to die.

A child said to captain Nathan Algren "I would be afraid to die in battle."

"So would I". replied Nathan.

"But you have been in many battles."

"And I was always afraid" Nathan said.


Yes, a seasoned soldier was always worried to go on battles, but always kept fighting to an end. It is not something like "No, I am powerful, and I will win, boy" :-)


It is so deep, and so touching. It makes a hero so human.


In business, we are always worried, we are always vigilant and careful, but we always keep going.
