I wonder if anyone takes notice of the strong political message behind The Last Samurai... Though George wrote on his blog that the film was basically very pro- American, I can't seem to see the connection. For me, it's more like the world only superpower must recognise that taking advantage of the weakness of any country is nothing to be proud of and certainly not what a Samurai would approve. Concealing its intentions behind a veil of righteouness and moralistic ideals will certainly not deceive its citizens, let alone her other counterparts... Let's work towards a world where there is no conspiracies among one another, where everyone lives in harmony... SOund idealistic? No, I truly believe it's attainable if every country puts in small effort on her part.
