There is a lot of highly critical discourse around the Last Samurai. Not current, because it's not a current movie, but saying that it's "okay" suggests you haven't looked for criticism.
Also, weary.

wrote 27 days ago last edited byThat's presumably the beginnings of an awareness of why that narrative is problematic. And also of the importance of historic accuracy. His role in the narrative was that of a saviour though.

wrote 27 days ago last edited byYeah but it was the other side of the spectrum. It weren’t right wing racist who were mad but SJWs who didn’t see the movie and don’t understand that the word Samurai in the title is plural not singular.

wrote 27 days ago last edited byOh you're saying that this is about right wingers who think the Last Samurai is okay (while Ass Creed isn't).
... That... makes sense. Huh. I hadn't seen it that way.

Game seems cool, but it requires a download to play. They don't meet my basic requirements for a game I'd even consider buying.

It's an actor ACTING as someone else that's the whole point of ACTING. People need to stop with this bullshit.

wrote 27 days ago last edited byI'm not sure if The Last Shogun is something different, but if you're referring to the Shogun series recently adapted by FX, I can say having watched it that it features a main character who fancies himself a superior white savior, but ultimately leads to realizing how completely out of his depth he is.
But it's like the Memoir of a Geisha problem: since the original work was written by a white dude anyways, how much value does it have as a cultural work?
