Peace is not the product of terror or fear.
Peace is not the silence of cemeteries.
Peace is not the silent result of violent repression.
Peace is the generous, tranquil contribution of all to the good of all.
Peace is dynamism. Peace is generosity.
It is right and it is duty.
All right now, son, I want you to get a good night's rest. And remember, I could murder you while you sleep.
Hey son, I bought you a puppy today after work. But then I killed it and ate it! Hahah, I´m just kidding. I would never buy you a puppy.

Saw the preview for this movie at MATRIX 2...
EVERYONE in the thearter howled at sight of Tom Cruise playing mr Bas@ss Samurai...
The tragic thing is that with TC involved it's gonna have excellent production. Costumes, sets, etc... will surely be top notch... It's just a question of weither I could tolerate TOM getting in the way of the scenery...

The words "Tom Cruise" are pretty much a guarantee of that.

"It is the same in all wars; the soldiers do the fighting, the journalists do the shouting, and no true patriot ever get near a front-line trench, except on the briefest of propoganda visits...Perhaps when the next great war comes we may see that sight unprecendented in all history, a jingo with a bullet-hole in him."
First you get good, then you get fast, then you get good and fast.
You guys are weird.
I'm definately waiting for this one.

Nah I rather have the Mejican (Mexican) Aztec warrior acting as a samurai than the top gun white boy! lol. We already know that the American will mess up the traditional portryal of Japanese culture, hehe, he lacks Bushido. The Montezuma will have revenge on you! (I hope they put some Aikido moves in the movie).

Wait.....could a white dude do that back then?
Just become a samurai back in the good ole Meiji Reconstruction Era?

They should have a native american guy play the part in that movie, because according to the movie Windtalkers: native american people look almost exactly like Japanese people.
And then the movie could have comic relief when he yells out in Japanese, "Im Indian You Stupid Fools!", and then gets chased around by samurais.
I finally saw it. I don't want to give anything away. I'll give it two grades.
Hollywood movie: B
Historical correctness: C-
It is a good movie and worth seeing at the theater. However, some of the events in the movie would not happen. I know it was LOOSELY about Saigo Takamori's last stand, but some of the things that people did would not be done. I am sorry, but I got my degree in Japanese studies focusing on this time period and it kind of bothered me.
I was surprised this movie was great. i won't tell you what its about so go see it.
