Director: Edward Zwick
Some Words…
Narrator: Give their lives for the forgotten word “honor”…
Narrator: To those who honor the old ways…
Nathan Algren: Imagine someone who hates you with the utmost intensity, grabbing your hair while you are lying prostrate & helpless and scrubbing a dull blade of a rusty knife around your scalp with a saw like motion and let your imagination grasp if you can, the effect of a strong quick jerk on the turf of your hair to release any clinging particles would have on your nervous system…. and you will have some idea of how it feels to be “scalped”.
Nathan Algren: To devote yourself utterly to set of moral principles, to seek a stillness of your mind
Katsumoto: The perfect blossom is a rare thing, you could spend your life looking for one and it would not be a wasted life…
Nathan Algren: Nightmares are for those who are ashamed of what they have done…
Nathan Algren: I will fight to my own people because they come to destroy what I have come to love…
Katsumoto: You believe a man can change his destiny?
Nathan Algren: I think a man does what he can, until his destiny revealed to him…
Omura: We can not govern a country in which we can not travel freely.
Nathan Algren: That is not their custom.
Nathan Algren: You’re angry because they make you wear a dress.
Nathan Algren: Many of our customs seem strange to you, the same is true of yours.
Emperor: We cannot forget who we are and where we come from…
Narrator: He may have at last found some small measure of peace, that we all seek for but few of us ever find…
