first, y is tis movie-the last samurai interested mi so much is bcoz i like the japanese culture since when i was small. hahahz.. ppl close 2 mi should know dat i learnt japanese b4(3yrs le ba). kekeke.. it all started from the jpop, slowly 2 the worldwar2, den the culture, lastly j-vision n j-anime.
wat i learnt from tis show...hm... okie... start from:
BUSHIDO:teach 7ways-->Gi(honesty n justice),Rei(polite courtesy),Yu(Heroic courage),Meiyo(Honour),Jin(Compassion),Makato(complete sincerity) and Chu(Duty n loyalty).
-GI-->the samurai believed dat they should be honest in every aspect of their lives. They also saw justice in stark tones-dere is only right n wrong, n no in btwn- hence the fearlessness as displayed by samurai leader Katsumoto n his gang in the movie
-Rei-->a samurai was not to boast of his prowess or throw his weight around. Politeness was seeen as another, especially politeness to an enemy(scene:nathan algren n katsumoto was having an 'introduction conversion') If not for tis code, captain algren would haf died one-third into the film. instead, katsumoto spares his life, takes him back 2 their village, nurses him back 2 fine form and treats him as a house guest rather than a prisoner.
-Yu-->the essence of a warrior is 2 be able to know when 2 act. heroic courage is seem as the ability 2 acknowledge the danger ahead, n 2 revel in the adrenalin it provides. i t was not a case of rushing blindly into danger, but of replacing fear of an opponent with respect n caution.
-Meiyo-->tis code gets bandied about the most in the film by katsumoto. only person who judges a samurai's own honour is the samurai warrior himself. such was the emphasis on the code dat it was believed a true warrior could not live with himself, if he believed he had betrayed his own honour.
-Jin-->though trained in the brutality of combat, a samurai was expected 2 use his skill 4 the benefit of all
-Makato-->the code dictated dat a warrior did not need 2 promise anything. if he said he would do something, then it was done. 4 the samurai, speaking n doing were one n the same.
-Chu-->the samurai are fiercely loyal. once protected by a samurai, u r protected 4 life. a samurai is always ready 2 lay down his life 4 his master.(scene:the samurai dat protect captain algren from the start, died 4 him during the final battle, by taking a shot 4 him. or else algren will not be the last samurai)
okie. i watch 3movie during the cny. 2days b4 ny watch magic kitchen. it was the 'shou yin hui'. the official show date is on the cny itself--> sort of funny cum sexual show. cny eve, watch the last samurai wif zhantu n gang. dat it is the best show i ever watch... finally something can replace pearl habour. it is definitely worth every cents u spent on tis movie. kekeke... actually i watch it wif yaosheng again. as for wat happen on fri... go 2 timothy's blog can le.
done some soul search... dere is alot of things for mi 2 settle. the last samurai-->i nid 2 learn alot of things from tis show. for the next few blogs, i will be explaining wat is dere 2 learn from the movie... hahaaz... cant slp! i realli nid 2 continue searching... perhap tml i can find wat i wanna know.
yesterdae din haf much training... coz dere is a cheerleading competition at NTU. class ended at 3. went 2 the club house n waited 4 the training begin. grace suggested 2 go 2 the arcade... keke... had a short chat wif her on the journey.
as the competition started at 7.30. we had a small training b4 going. focusing on the timing. took a cab 2 NTU. the performance is nice. although the standard...
through tis thing, i was able 2 take note of some errors dat may occur during stunts. 1 of the team was coached by magnum ppl. kekeke... and guess wat? the team is the champion. 3cheers 4 hall1! thank God dat i was wif magnum. y? we concentrate on the skills n techniques rather den only the strength. lots of teams during the performance onli wanted the stunts 2 go up n neglect the skills. in the end, the stunts either fall or look ugly. kekeke... opps... class starting soon. gtg!
suddenly after watching the final vcd of a drama... i had a total change of views. okie... maybe you guys think it is juz onli for a while... but the impact of the show almost change the entire thinking of my. perhaps it is link wif the things dat happen around mi tis few days. something for sure, i think i had been slacking far too much. to change? i still dunno... who am i? does dat realli matter? m i the person i know? pathetic man! i cant even understand myself. i think b4 i solve tis problem... i will be quite cold 2 every1. i gotta search for my soul.
every ppl around mi said dat i m perfectly alrite. m i? i think otherwise. aniwae... i still haf 2 live on... i cant possibly crying over spilled milk. meanwhile i will haf 2 be down-2-earth.
aniwae... do every1 know y i m called sky? baptised name: aSh.
sky:freedom,able 2 see thing clearly, being a perfectionist(sky:high above the ground).
ash:down2earth,see things more clearly(not everything is black n white).
actually dere is more dat juz tis few... dere is more meaning inside tis 2 name.. but tis r the major.
haiz... skip class again... when can i start 2 change ar? *sad man!... kekek...
dunno y leh... i m more sensitive den ever. more observing. wat wrong wif mi?
after reading some1 blog... i began 2 understand the feeling of dat gal. some1 dat is church n serve wif mi b4... ppl around mi changed... whether is it good or bad. or should i say dat i m the one dat change? i dunno... confused! my fren around mi said dat i too mature. m i? i dun think so... maybe dat true... but i dun wan it 2 happen...
i think i really getting 2 old le... going 19 tis yrs... OMG. 19 le...wait!!! y do i seemed so trouble about dat? i think i m dwelling in the past... i nid 2 move on.
dere r realli lots of things in my life is not going well... i nid 2 change... but sometimes i m confused... should i go back 2 the real mi or should i keep trying...
i juz wanna 2 be a child-like steward. happy serving yet nature. can i? maybe i dun like 'ni jing'. well, 1day i will breakthrough. as for now, i had no time 2 think so much... solve my own problem n making everything on the rite track!
