On Bushido

First of all, I am repulsive of Japanese films, and I have a strong sense of nationality. But Japan also has something that attracts me. Hayao Miyazaki's animation, Joe Hisaishi's music...
Because of Tom Cruise, I decided to take a look at the topic of Eastern and Western culture in the short comment. I have a question, is Japan East or West, is there a limit to good culture?
I don't seek a thorough understanding of history. I often judge by intuition and perception. I may not be good at rational analysis, but I still feel a little bit.
The Chinese are undoubtedly the ancestors of the Japanese. I went to Qinhuangdao to go to the entrance of the Emperor Qin to the sea. I also stayed in the Afang Palace in Xi'an for a long time. How can these people, whom we used to call Japanese pirates, have so many places for us to learn. The answer is cultural renewal.
Bushido is one kind. Of course, in the village of Katsumoto in New Zealand (which has not been verified), how can people be able to concentrate on their duties in an orderly manner.
In particular, why a person who put his death on the sidelines has been repeatedly defeated by the village warriors:
1. The people in the village do not flatter foreigners, but do martial arts. Does this represent strength.
2. Why does a person who have been on the battlefield lose several times in a row? Does it represent spirit and focus.
3. Why does someone accompany him to practice? He has the opportunity to grow and learn, and he persists so naturally. Can it represent the environment.
4. Why doesn't Shengyuan kill him? Is it because he has feelings or intuition?
...
So I dare not blindly reject it. In contrast, when will we be able to wake up, consciously, and use the simplest mind and focus to do what we should do to create an atmosphere of simple admiration.
I also like the epic blockbuster where the indigenous Taiwanese fight back against the Japanese army. I really want to find a few epic films about the essence of Chinese culture. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Emperor Genghis Khan of Han Wu, is a far-reaching thing. Please recommend for modern themes...
