The Last Samurai

[pkk]

So everyone was telling me I should watch The Last Samurai, that it's the perfect movie for me and all this stuff. So I watched it, I ended the movie with tears in my eyes, a first, unless I remember falsely. I was very deeply touched by the movie. The movie's meaning touched me more than anything though, the storyline was pretty much irrelevant to me, I was touched by the loss of Japan's Warrior ways, I've always looked at Japan as having died when it lost the way of the Samurai, I still look at things that way. The Japanese used to be so similar to my own people, they also died, although nearly all of them literally died before they died as a people. I truely and deeply love my people, some people mistakenly think that I am American, but no, I am a Celt, now and for always. My people once had warriors who lived by a code of honor, once upon a time, it was honorable to die for your king, once upon a time, my people fought the Romans at insane odds and although they never drove the Romans out, no they left because of problems with Barbarian raiders, they also never lost to the Romans, driven back into Whales, my people fought and retreated, to near genocide. Of course the Romans left remnants, and the Lutes, and the Anglo Saxon tribes, and later the Normans, eventually my people lost their warrior ways and melded with the other cultures, my people died too, even though they live on today. Another thing I thought about after the movie was the love i might never have, and the death I might never have. Someday, somehow, I pray God finds a way for me to die with a Sword in my hand, if I'm ever sent to war, I'm taking my blade.
