Damn it long ago

The film strives to be epic. However, as far as Bushido is concerned, I strongly disagree that this subject matter is worthy of praise or praise. The extreme bushido is a product of pre-medieval times and should naturally die out in the process of human progress in the Middle Ages. It was kept until the end of the 19th century. In my understanding, even though there is the spiritual support of Japanese Shintoism in Bushido, it is more about the vanity brought by the lofty status of the samurai. After all, it is just a kind of social identity for self-interest, and there are not too many profound philosophical thoughts. However, its delayed demise has caused great harm to the world. The looting and slaughter of the Middle Ages repeated itself frequently in the 20th century of civilization. Their deaths were not in the slightest violent. They do not belong to that era. They should have died long ago!
