I agree, it was a phenomenal movie. I'm not a Tom Cruise fan but if he continues down this road, I will be. While I agree it was an indictment of modernism, it was also an indictment of the inability to change with the times. The samaurai way of life stood in the way of progress, but instead of amending their ways, they chose to impede it. Their honor and duty and respect for tradition made them great, but those same traits made them inflexible. that which does not bend will eventually break.
