A former American mid-level military officer, life is still very poor after many years of retirement. Finally, under the influence of samurai village culture, he regained himself.

Rather than the cultivation of samurai culture, it is more like the cultivation of "Tao", and the final sublimation is separated from the relationship with samurai. And the Pope was only moved by the loss of his teacher. The so-called good things to be carried forward are probably distorted from here. (In history, Saigo Takamori advocated aggression against other countries to support wars by war.) Compared with the "samurai" spirit that he really wanted to express a minute ago: to fully dedicate oneself to the people, it is an instant slap in the face.

However, I still appreciate the samurai portrayed in the film. They live a very pure life. The samurai is loyal to the leader, the sister is loyal to her brother and her husband, and the brother is loyal to the country. For the so-called ideal, because the so-called humiliation is inappropriate, it is really Japanese.
