In the hit film ” The Last Samurai” starring Tom Cruise, an emotionally wounded Captain Nathan Algrun accepts an offer to train Japanese soldiers in American warfare as a means of suppressing the samurai rebellion. In the face off against the samurai, Algrun’s soldiers are defeated and he’s injured and captured as a prisoner of war.
While recovering, Captain Algrun finds himself a prisoner in an environment he’s unfamiliar with and among people he doesn’t understand. One day after waking up from a bout with one of the samurai where Algrun was knocked unconscious, he meets Katsumoto, the leader of the samurai who is curious about his American prisoner.
During the conversation, Algrun find himself frustrated with the exchange of dialog and screams,
What do you want from me!?
What the hell am I doing here!?
Katsumoto replies,
What do you want for yourself?
The snows will melt in May, and the passages will open, and the events of the world will unfold. Until that time you are here.
Although the story is fiction, there is wisdom in the last words.
