When The Last Sword Is Drawn...

Haiz, was very affected after watching that movie on channel 56. I don't know why, but i think it's because i truly understand what they are going through. Many of you may call those people stupid, but nope, not to me, not at all.

This movie was sort of recalling scene, yup, so many wouldn't think its nice. It's staged at the end of the tokugama shogunate era, the shogun VS the emperors. Of course, the shoguns were using the swords, and the emperors with the fucking guns. Anyway, the main actor, Kanichiro Yoshimura, left his clan to work for shinsengumi, set up to serve and protect kyoto, who works for the shogun. Another reason was because to save his family from starvation. Thus in the movie, he got any money he could, and send it back all home to his family. Imagine, sending most of the money home, with that minimal for himself.

Meanwhile Shinsengumi was falling apart, power struggle, in the end, they lost the battle, those fucking bastards use gun, how to lose? Yoshimura didn't die, but in order to preserve his honour, he did the hara kiri. Haiz, before his death, he was thinking about his land, his wife, his children, hoping they will forgive him. Mind you, not everyone can asked and proceed with hara kiri. With the ending of his life, his good friend went into battle, hoping to die in the battlefield instead, which sadly he found it. His son, 16 yrs of age, knewing that he wouldn't come back alive, still proceed to fight in the fort.

I don't know why, there were so many scenes that i teared. His affection and love for the family, how he preserve his honour and die for his country. In the end, doing the hara kiri. Haiz, i could feel his pain, his family pain. Before he died, he said, "i would neither be going to hell, nor heaven. I would be returning to your side, every minute, every second..." I don't expect all of you to understand. My mother was also watching, and commenting on how stupid the son is to go and die. I don't blame her, she won't understand. Tell me, would any singaporeans now gladly die for their beliefs? Haiz, a true samurai indeed.

For people who hate changes like me, yeah i was blaming the fucking emperor for going through with the changes to the country. Yeah you may argue, look at Japan now, they are so advanced and very ahead of times now. So? For fuck man, at the expense of the blood and lives of their own people, you even labelled them as rebel? You say WWII stain japan, i say the killing of so many samurais stain japan. If it didn't happen, would japan be even involved.

Inventing some fucking guns when they realised they couldn't win with skills. Bloody bastards, what is wrong with simplicity...haiz.

"Far to the south is Mount Hayachine, to the west Mount Nansho, to the north Mount Iwate and Mount Himekami. Being surrounded with high mountains, no other place in this country compares to the picture-like beauty of Nanbu Morioka..."
