• What work has done the most damage to your field?

There have been several more posts asking about various specific aspects of the story; you can find them by searching "last samurai"; these are the only ones I saw where the responses refer back to the film:

• Were generals ever sold or rented from one nation to another (like Tom Cruise in 'The Last Samurai')?

• Just watched the Last Samurai: Where can I learn more about the Samurai and the period that took place in the film?
