The western People made samurai very wrong.. example Miyamoto Mushashi they had said is to be the greatest samurai ever..Wich is Laughable..they Didn't know the real history of Samurai..
I just watched the entire video and I expected this to have way more views than it actually does! In my opinion the guy deserved to be "betrayed", if you can even call it that at that point.
This seems a bit like you used chat gpt, judging by the way you repeated the same idea for 12+ sentences If this is not the case, please understand that a five minute video with succinct statements and overarching ideas is better than trying to fill out a page, whether for school or fun
Was well ahead of his time to use mindgames that have become common practice in todays modern combat sport !! For this although it goes against the bushido is like any other evolutionary process that takes things forward . It may not be fair but like everything else in life its just buisness ! And in order for a buisness to survive it has to continually move forward often in ways tgat are not deemed ethical or fair .
Well, done samurai Musashi, you survive well with your sword, technique and philosophy of survival in a traumatic environment well done once again samurai warrior
And where is the 'hidden' part in these well known facts/stories? I couldn't find anything more than what is already known (which is anyway more than what is presented here).
A modern physician read Musashi's personal journal, containing gripes about his aches and pains and complaints about his overall health, which was diagnosed as pituitary cancer. That explains descriptions of Musashi standing significantly taller than his peers
Musashi, by Eiji Yoshikawa was a required reading (amongst other works) once anyone obtain 1st Dan by Grand Master Daeshik Kim. I had the utmost honor of training under him in the late 70s and early 80s. I had mentioned that many of Musashi's actions were less than honorable. Grand Master Kim countered that honor is reserved for training, and survival takes whatever is required.
Vielen Dank für das Video, es ist ein schönes und faszinierendes Video. Ich finde diese Religion wichtig, denn es verkörpert den Respekt des Menschen gegenüber der Natur. Vielen Dank ❤🇯🇵
This is why I liked the Richard Chamberlain version of John Blackthorn better than the current actor. Not only because in my opinion it was closer to the novel.. But in the 1980 version Blackthorn comes off much more intelligent and willing to adapt and respect the Japanese culture that the current actor, that could be because of the writing. However where in the 1980 version one can see how he would have gained Toranaga's trust and respect, I don't feel that with the current version. Maybe if there is a second season it will become clearer, but as of now, he just comes off as a bumbling barbarian.
There are other outside factors as well on why each person would prefer one over the other: charm vs. grit, ease of storytelling and nostalgia are which come to mind when laying my own critique when comparing side-by-side time periods or contemporary film perspective.
The new John it's just comedian compared to Richard Chamberlain, one big actor forever. Just watch the old Shogun. This movie is on base of true story of William Adams drop at Japan and become important advisor to Japanese Shogunate at this time and very respectful man. Today you can see in Japan a lot of statues of William Adams. The real story of John Blacktorn.
