I ended up going to this elderly man’s house which was fairly big and had a nice ocean view because he’s a rich mf. His wife said she was making sushi but she ended up ordering a Benihana alternative which made my gf sad because the only reason we went to their place was because she wanted sushi. Oh well.
I’m still here and the guy just put on Malhação which is some shitty novela from the 90s and my gf looks like she might cry. I think this old man never had any kids so he’s trying to bond with me and throughout the movie he kept looking over for approval at his favorite scenes. He must love this disgusting filth film because he recites the lines really well and it felt like a dual audio situation where Tom cruise and old man were speaking the same lines. I wanted to jump into the ocean and drown.
Such a bad movie I only like Tom cruise in mission impossible 1 and 3 and the rest suck.
Last samurai is about whitey Vietnam vet who tries to train some samurai soldiers how to fight and he ends up dying of disentary at the end of the movie. I think my fate will be the same after eating the Benihana because I don’t feel too good.
We’re still at his house and he want to show me his aged soy sauce collection.
Doesn't the wife of the dude he kills end up loving him instead? Because that's how it works in the bushido code, you kill the husband and the wife is obligated to marry and love you.
She develops an uncomfortable fondness for Algren after her brother (Ken Watanabe's character, Katsumodo) makes her look after him as her nephew (Katsumodo's son) stays at her house. Katsumodo himself lives in the temple. Early on in the film, she asks Katsumodo why he's making her suffer and wants to kill herself. His reasoning is he is hoping Algren will lower his guard around her and tells her she needs to do as she's told (women are property who are passed to the nearest male relative etc. etc. and so on).
They never kiss or anything. He accidentally comes across her leaving a hotspring and in the final act of the film she helps him put on her husband's armor. She hugs him as he's developed a fondness for her kids, who's father they know he killed.
Katsumodo is of course exploiting his own family so he can make Algren feel guilty and Algren falls for it. I think Katsumodo's sister understands what her brother is doing, but also understands its incredibly cruel and asking too much from her.
Bullshido mode
Yeah that's a very uncomfortable subplot of the film.
