Also I think he never actually did any fighting and was not a warrior. Samurai was also used as just a Title of nobility. I don't think he ever did battle. There's far more significant problems. The Last Samurai gets nearly everything wrong about the samurai in the Meiji period. The film romanticizes the samurai to hell and back.

The captain of the segregated flight group was denied entry to an officer's club because of race. His critics fabricated a lie that he attacked started a riot. The truth is that he simply walked around the guy like in Office Space, but then he got attacked and dozens of his group were arrested. No one was exonerated until 1995. But in George Lucas's movie "Lighting" can't contain his emotions and he commits assault, fast as lighting. <cite>coinstarcad posted [p:921771101] in Is there a...
