They would charge against the guns and they knew they would not succeed. They still rode on, a handful of men on horseback. The last stand of Katsumoto against the army sent against him.
A captured soldier, a captain of the American Army sent to train Katsumoto's enemies, learns something about himself and what it means to be Samurai.
One of Katsumoto's men asks him;
Higen: Will you fight the white men, too?
Algren: If they come here, yes.
Higen: Why?
Algren: Because they come to destroy what I have come to love.
Few words, simply spoken. I also have come to love a culture not my own. One day I hope to travel to Japan and find a home within. Find a place for yourself in the world, fight for it and never give it up.
fare thee well,
Alex.
