	[KFCC] Shinobi Review
		Story: In the village of Shiroyama, Shinobi are trained from birth to become honed assassins meant to carry out necessary missions all over the country of Iga.
		This tale follows Kagerou (Kenji Matsuda), the arrogant student at the top of his class, and Aoi (Maju Ozawa), the token whining female, and their battle with the law of Shinobi – to be unquestioning, mindless, expendable animals, who’s only purpose is to serve at the highest cost.
		He chooses not to use throwing weapons in battle (but happens to be damn good at defending them).

		The Satsuma Clan's opposition of the Japanese government's abolishment of the samurai was a rebellion based on principle, and after his demise at the battle of Shiroyama, Saigo Takamori became a Japanese folk hero, respected because he remained loyal to his principles even in the face of defeat and death.
		An even more appropriate example is the original Gall Force trilogy in which especially main character Lufy attains the status of heroic martyr by literally throwing away her life in the pursuit of her mission.
		Beyond just anime, the live action Battle Royale movies, especially the second movie, are another example of a small group of idealistic individuals who fight a loosing battle because it's more fulfilling and dignified to die in pursuit of one's goals or beliefs than accept compromise in order to avoid pain.

		He was in bad shape at the end of the battle.
		I thought the full battle scenes were largely underwhelming -- though some of the horse stunts were VERY impressive.
		Maybe it's because my eyes were drawn to some samurai extra near the back who, in the initial charge, falls flat on his back ten feet before he reaches the enemy lines for no apparent reason.

	Eugene Woodbury \| Japan \| The Last Samurai
		The melodramatic demands of director Edward Zwick's well-intended Orientalism have instead produced a hagiographic account of the Battle of the Southwest (as it is called in Japan), that provides American audiences no good idea, other than the repeated mantra about samurai "honor," what it was really about.
		It does not help that Zwick's "insights" into the samurai mind and his depictions of the Battle of the Southwest consist of throwing every cliche in the book at the cinematic wall, such as having Katsumoto and his troops dressed up in period costumes.
		But the last land battle fought on the Japanese "mainland" (Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu) was resolved without a return to the devastating civil wars depicted in Kurosawa films such as Kagemusha and Ran.
