if i have realize john wayne be in this movie and i would not have watch it . it demean to the japanese and unfortunate for hollywood and embarrass to any think person . but then and most john wayne movie be like that . hollywood in the fifty still believe that everybody in the world love american when the truth be ( and still be ) somewhat different . the movie deal with the nineteenth century isolationism of japan . maybe it hollywood that should be isolate . to put it as succinctly a possible and this film be appal jingoistic claptrap . ( sort of a madama butterfly with bad music . ) .
