I finally saw it. I don’t want to give anything away. I’ll give it two grades.
Hollywood movie: B
Historical correctness: C-
It is a good movie and worth seeing at the theater. However, some of the events in the movie would not happen. I know it was LOOSELY about Saigo Takamori’s last stand, but some of the things that people did would not be done. I am sorry, but I got my degree in Japanese studies focusing on this time period and it kind of bothered me.
