Of course, as a movie, many places are poetic. As a privileged class, the relationship between Japanese samurai and peasants is not so harmonious. In fact, the two sides of the battle are mainly samurai and peasants equipped with long-barreled muskets.
The story did not explain why Omura must let Shengyuan die, nor did it explain why Shengyuan must rebel.
Of course, it can be simply understood as the great wheel of the times will eventually crush the old things.
Tom Cruise, who has never been able to calm down because of his involvement in the massacre of Indians, is affected. It is understandable that he would like to fight with Katsumoto to die on the battlefield.
But in the end, as an American who had been bathing in freedom since childhood, it was a bit exaggerated to kneel in front of the emperor. He gave the saber to the emperor on behalf of Katsumoto, so it is actually understandable to kneel, but in the end, he said he was willing to be because of the emperor’s words. Suicide, this is too much, the transformation is too thorough.
Emperor Meiji was very weak before, but tough behind him, and the contrast was too great.
However, I think the overall story is good.
Especially Koyuki Kato is very beautiful inside.
