What's the moral we're supposed to take away from it?It's ok to scam, lie, cheat and desecrate the most important values if you have a good enough sob story?
It was a scathing critique of imperial Japan during the WW2 years.
>>220537209Okay and what's the critique? Did you watch the movie?
Don't be retarded.
>>220537295The point of the post is to pretend to be retarded.
>>220537181its that glorifying ritual suicide and assigning systemic power to it is fucking retarded and leads to terrible outcomesbut i think you knew that already
>>220537295>>220537321This isn't me. I'm not retarded.
>>220537181The honour of that clan is a facade and written history is just lies. They are self-serving cowards resting on the laurels of the past - to the detriment of the land and it’s people.
>heheh what if I licked another boot am I based yetyawwwn get better material op
>>220537407>its that glorifying ritual suicide and assigning systemic powerNobody is doing that. Harakiri is always done in shame. Nobody wants to do harakiri in and of itself or is glorifying it. It's just the honorable way to accept shame and humiliation. >fucking retarded and leads to terrible outcomesExcept that in the movie the thing that lead to terrible outcome is cheating, lying and scamming, and not any of the things you named in particular.>but i think you knew that alreadyNo I don't. You don't know what you're talking about.
>>220537475I am not licking anyone's boots unlike you tranny.
>>220537509>licks the powerful family's bootsok closeted faglord
>>220537490>It's just the honorable way to accept shame and humiliation.that's what's glorifying about it you fucking retardif suicide is honorable and a normalized part of your culture, it naturally follows that suicide is desireable, and suddenly IJA high command is ordering men to pilot torpedos and kamikaze aircraftif you looked at a group of powerful men forcing a young boy to gut himself with a piece of bamboo for trying to save his wife and thought "haha yes! based!" you're obviously not willing to have a serious discussion
>>220537698>not willing to have a serious discussionThe serious discussion havers of 4chan...
>>220537706People do want to discuss things here. It's not all trolls.

>>220537181>>220537225>>220537509The point is that the other Samurai were pussy ass bitches hiding behind tradition even though the glory days were over. They went out of their way to make an example out of a teenage boy, forcing him to kill himself with a literal bamboo sword, all in the name of “honor”. But when they got humbled and humiliated in turn, they chose to hide away like rats. And when they began to get their asses kicked despite being a whole clan vs one guy, they chose to shoot him dead with guns and then cover the whole thing up.
>>220537181The moral is samurai are dumb. Bushido is dumb. Killing yourself because of "honor" is dumb.
the focus was on how japanese honor codes are a narrative and a performance, and the harm maintaining this narrative can have on both the poor and the powerful.>>220537706I've had plenty over the last twenty years I've been trapped here. if you haven't had any that says more about you than where you are
