The choice between family affection and samurai morality

A classic of the samurai theme, what impressed me most about the whole film was the guilt of the protagonist who betrayed his hometown. Thinking back on that feeling makes me think of myself, who is busy with life away from my parents, and has essentially betrayed my hometown like the protagonist? The protagonist in the film is not a timid samurai, but has been living in a more tactful way for the sake of his family. However, for such a seemingly flexible warrior, what really killed him in the end was the so-called Bushido spirit. One cannot help but sigh at the bravery of the samurai to die generously, and at the same time recall the various criticisms of the spirit of Bushido in the movie Cut Belly. In addition, Masato Sakai's role as Chief Okita in the film is really not a small highlight, and the few scenes are enough to attract people's attention.
