[Movie review] Why this historically inaccurate movie is accepted by Japanese -"The Last Samurai"

I'm very happy to announce that I’m going to be starting a new series: “Movie reviews from Japan!”
I decided to start this series because there were many people asking me about recommended movies, and I thought that watching movies is a very fun way to study about Japanese history and culture too.

When I wondered which movie I should start with… "The Last Samurai" immediately came to my mind.
Even though it is a movie made in 2003, there are still quite a lot of people asking me about my opinions about it, so… here I go!

I will first briefly introduce the story, and then share my personal opinions!
At the end of the video, I would like to introduce a few reviews posted by other Japanese audiences
to share different points of views.

In this channel, I will be reviewing movies related to Japanese history and culture!
