The story of Jules Brunet, who inspired the character of Nathan Algren, played by Tom Cruise in the 2003 movie "the Last Samurai".
The French officer Jules Brunet played an active role during the Boshin War, leading the rebellion against the Imperial Nippon, in 1868-69.
"A revolution is forcing the Military Mission to return to France. Alone I stay, alone I wish to continue, under new conditions, the results obtained by the Mission, together with the Party of the North, which is the party favorable to France in Japan. Soon a reaction will take place, and the Daimyos of the North have offered me to be its soul".

One of my ancestor, Léonce Verny was also a French engineer from Polytechnique that went to Japan to modernize it's Navy and built the port of Yokosuka, he still have a statue of him there and a park name after his name in the city of Yokosuka. Japan know how to honour the men and women that helped them. Thank you to present the role of thoose men, and thank you Japan to still honouring their memory.
Thank you Felix, for your beautiful words.

He greeted Emperor Meiji at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo. At that time, it was difficult for even Japanese people to meet the emperor. Your ancestors achieved a great business in Japan
I never knew the French were that involved in Japanese matters. So educational! Thanks for the video! :)
The Japanese system of government is French
They had there hands in many pies until germans ko them down
@@raymondfrye5017 yup. Japanese law and it’s court system is based on the napoleonic code
@@raymondfrye5017 Actually, it isn't. A government commission was set up to study constitutional governments. The U.S. Constitution was rejected as too liberal. The French and Spanish were rejected as tending more towards despotism. The Reichstag and legal system of Prussia proved to be the most useful to the Constitutional Study Mission. The British system was also useful, but they felt it gave too much power to parliament. "Ito Hirobumi's Constitutional Study Mission to Europe" National Diet Library, Japan.
@@daniel_sc1024 Thanx.
The real story is much more fascinating than the one in "Last Samurai". I think that the French and Japanese film-makers should consider making a film based on the the real historical facts and protagonists of this story.
ikr
The movie "the last samurai" is about the satsuma rebellion which took place in 1877, what you see in this video is the boshin war, which was in 1868, do not get them confused. The boshin war was the emperor vs the shogun, it was not "modern warfare vs tradition", as both sides used new military technology to win. The rebellion, seen in "the last samurai", is a bit more complicated, as samurais started to loose influence through new government reforms, the satsuma clan revolted, and although they did use traditional weapons, they also used guns, unlike the movie presents it.
i agree, but don't hold ur breath
Actually the movie is a combination of both the Satsuma rebellion and the Boshin war. But inverts reality and completely changes the real reason for the war. Meiji called for revocation of the sumptuary laws and this meant that the Samurai were less important, and they didnt like it. Basically the Samurai were upper class and the new govt wanted less class distinction and less preferential treatment. The Samurai were fighting to maintain the opulence, not for justice.
no one like to relinquish power.prestige, or privilege once they enjoy it. That is why the 1% continues to act as they do...grrr
The history of France and Japan is incredibly similar and linked despite their differences and their geographical distance.
It is more that England and Japan's culture and history are similar.
Man I'm french and i wanted to thank you for this video, sadly it's true that everybody in France forgot his name, i only discovered him recently, he became the people i'm the most proud of in French History, and this video that you made is really a great honor. So thank you so much :)
+darfinger2 My fav is Bertrand Du Guesclin, aka "The Black Dog of Brocéliande". Even the name is badass.
The name is really bad ass indeed :o however i have no clue on who he is, i'll do some research on him :)

Very emotional moment.
Sent severs down my spine.
Hello there. I do really thank you for this video. Now, besides I learned more about the real story of "the last samurai", i can tell you proudly this man was in my country.
I'm Mexican. France invaded Mexico from 1862 to 1867, so Jules was here, fighting against our army. What an honor.
ok i lost you!!! you feel honor for someone who invade you country and kill your people back then??? if that is honor you people are far from logic....
@@fotiskoutsoupas7787 I understand that because it is an honor to fight against courageous soldiers. And even today, the Mexican army presents arms in front of the Camaron monument where less than 60 French soldiers have resisted more than 2000 Mexican soldiers, they are practically all dead except the last 5 who charged with the bayonet despite their injuries, and that Mexicans spared

i may not be french but as time goes on i have more and more respect for them, with stuff like this, and the fact that the french helped the US in the revolutionary war. then gifted the statue of liberty to the states when the US was first starting out. You don't hear it very often of other countries doing that, and for that i salute them fully
We need anime version of Jules Brunet's journey. This is such an awesome history stuff
Damn that cry war at 4:10 It's very powerful that gave me chills down my spine!!
woah it gave me chills too! xd
That war cry go outside and act like a samurai hahaha
made me*
It's pretty intense and kind of comes out of no where, but it's awesome.
Also, 99% certain it's the song from The Last Samurai.
To be fair, French history is vast and rich with stories like this.
Yeah specially losing against the English or betraying native americans.
scalping forever Do you want us to talk about Guillaume the conqueror, the invasion of the england, the Kings of england were French, 40% of words in english langage comes from french language and suprematie of France in Europe for many centuries?
And France participated in 185 battles, won 132 battles, lose 43 and 10 was indecisive, the last 800 years. France won the most battles in the world.
And do you know the 100 years war or Napoléon ?
scalping forever If the history of english was Better and more glorious than french history, the americans would not change the french history to make the english or american history better in the movies ( dunkirk, the king on netflix, the Last samurai, ect...)
@@cloudman8911 you are that one kid missing school right ?
@@bobinounet4767 no. You don t like facts?
My father is close to 80 and his grandfather was a Feudal Lord, and my father's side were all samurai. He still has the hilt of a katana that's been in my family for hundreds of years. He showed it to me once, it was amazingly still in good condition other than several nick's and a few deep gouges. I rented the movie years ago and immediately knew who he was and said he's greatly respected and revered in Japan, which is a remarkable trait for a foreigner especially back then to be accepted and admired in Feudal Japan.
that's really interesting. Is there any legacy of the samourai's time in the modern japan?
I was thinking it was weird, in the movie, to hire US experts when the French and Prussians were far more famous, they even helped train the US army during the independence war.
That was 100 years in difference. The USA at this time was the rising economic power in the world until the Civil War put the country on pause.
Nope, the prussians aided the UK fighting against America, there was only one French general sent by king Louis to help train some Americans.
@@MH-kc1eu No, everyone in Europe hates their gut, ally my arse
@@MH-kc1eu I think you are thinking about the Hessian mercenaries hired by George III. Prussia remained neutral during the American Revolution. Prior to that war, Prussia had been allied with Great Britain against France, but GB changed their foreign policy in favor of France, and Frederick the Great felt betrayed. America did try to get Prussia to recognize them and enter into a treaty during the Revolution, but Frederick was weary of antagonizing England. He did allow them to buy Prussian arms through a third party, though.
A former Prussian army captain, Baron Frederick Wilhelm von Steuben, was instrumental in training Washington's Continental Army during the Revolutionary War.
@@MH-kc1eu the french shipped guns, canons, powder and uniforms. And sent almost 20 000 men when it entered the conflict militarly. Prussia remained neutral. And let's not forget the spanish
I own the original 1870 book where this story was published, "Le Tour du Monde" it's a collection of travel stories of French people around the world. The one who told this story was Eugène Collache, a subordinate of brunet. He was actually the swordman who fought along with the Shinsengumi. He is the French man in samurai outfit represented on the drawing in your video. Brunet was a modern military man. Collache was more of a traditional swordman. He planned to steal the ships of the emperor "pirate style" with the help of the samurais of the Shinsengumi. But their boat was caught in a typhoon between Hakodate and the Miyako bay ... They arrived too late at Miyako bay and the boats were ready to sail and filled with the entire army. Thus they failed their commando mission ... The samurais of the Shinsengumi decided to surrender. Collache refused but was authorized to keep his sword until they brought him to prison. In Edo, he was judged and condemned to death. When he was called from his cell he thought his last day had come, he said good by to his japanese brother in arms ... and left the prison with the conviction he would be beheaded soon ... But at the exit, his French Brother in arms were waiting for him on a boat, diplomacy had worked, and he would not be condemned to death, but would never be able to come to Japan ever again. Back in France, he published his 10 pages story in the periodical "Le Tour du Monde." It seems the illustrations were also based on his drawings.
I did some research about it and, his Japanese brothers in arms, also sentenced to death, were finally not executed either ... They were the elite samuraï of the Shogun's police after all ...
He is one of the renouwned and respected French figures in Japan, who loved the Samurai spirit and lived in the midst of turbulent times in the modern history of the nation.
✊🏼/🇯🇵 Fascinating, thank you for posting.
"They say Japan was made by a sword. They say the old gods dipped a cold blade into the ocean, and when they pulled it out four perfect drops fell back into the sea, and those drops became the islands of Japan."
The French are said to be quite proud of their culture, yet there are two places they treat with utmost respect, on this subject: Italy and Japan.
I’d even call it a fascination.
We are five in my (French) family to speak Japanese to some extent, me being the worst, a cousin is a graduate in this language, my three nephews, manga addicts, can hold a conversation quite fairly.
Malheureusement aujourd’hui les français fièrent de leur culture, etc.... se font traiter de facho, raciste, etc... car les wokes veulent imposer une culture complètement opposé à la France... en France.
RIP Jules you where a great warrior may your name be remembered forever.
Thank you for the history lesson. Have a great week.
What an amazing and courageous man Brunet was!!!

It’s relevant to this video but YES watch it everyone you will be changed
This is a fascinating story, but in reality the Last Samurai is actually based upon the Satsuma Rebellion which took place ten years after the end of the Boshin war, and was led by Saigo Takamori, who funny enough led the Imperial forces to victory in the Boshin war, but when swords were outlawed on the streets of Japan and Samurai were mistreated by police, they took up arms and the Last of the samurai fought to the last man against the Imperialists at the battle Shiroyama.

Absolutely correct!! People of Satsuma which is modern day Kyushu is famous for doing their part for Japanese history and for being a warrior state, specifically the Shimazu clan.

This is the right comment..
Jules was a great warrior by most historical accounts. He built his reputation on the battlefield in Mexico before he continued his exploits in Japan. The fact he was allowed to join the military soon after his return to Paris in 1870 shows the French government was not particularly upset with him. He went on to fight in the Franco-Prussian war and eventually retired as a General.
Well done mate, the shout at 4:10 timed with the story of the last stand gave me goosebumps 😀
Moved me To tears such a Beautiful story And all inspiring
For those complaining about the movie try and remember that Hollywood is in the money making business.
True
And it was still a great movie
It was a great Movie, but as always US always take all the glory transforming real history in pièces...boring!!!
@@eick474 still a great movie
I don't care what people say. That movie is a masterpiece. And Zimmer's soundtrack is legendary.
Wow! Not really a samurai but - damn that is truly amazing - thanks for that contribution to my knowledge!
Amazing video talking about the Boshin War my friend. It is a really important part of history of Japan as a nation, but I thought that The Last Samurai was actually based in the Satsuma rebellion, a few years after the Boshin War ended. Still an amazing video, explains really well the tales of an era of rapid change and the forging of a new Empire
The bodies of the Samurai are gone. But the Samurai way of life still remains. Long live Bushido and all that the Samurai stood for.
They stood for feudalism. Nothing more. The privilege of living a parasitic life off of the peasants whilst fighting and plotting for more power and privileges from the other clans. Nothing different or special from any other feudal landowning class in history, apart from the over-romantization of it by uneducated fanboys who never opened an actual historical book in their lives. Anime and hollywood isn't education...
Jag giello Japanese people need to be more educated and more loving towards World history and their country, or if it's not they would be sucks at everything. Japanese people should be more educate themselves and helping each others (for this race). They must be prepare at all cost (24 hours) for Everything, it is to avoid before SHITS going to be happening again and again but in different days made by the enemies. The Men is made by the quality of the enemies, but the Foolish humans is made by the influences of Lucifer&Satans/Anti God.
ZER0Artdiary Your statement made zero sense. It's like random words put together. Please try using google translate or some other programme.
+Jag giello Bushido has nothing to do with plotting for power. Read friend, you are the uneducated one. www.artofmanliness.com/2008/09/14/the-bushido-code-the-eight-virtues-of-the-samurai/ Bushido teaches mercy, determination, the duty of self-education and above all honor.
nagy zoli A lot of ideologies teach these things, it's the actions of the people that matter. Samurai acted like power-hungry, barbarous, cruel and sadistic gangsters, who burned the country numerous times for the sake of power and exploited the peasants to the brink of famine. They were no different than the modern organised crime, with Daymios = bosses and the samurai = the mobsters, who racketeer the peasants and kill each other for power. The ammount of "noble" bullshit they claimed they follow in Bushido is irrelevant when they acted the way they did.

Applause to the music editor. A very nice story telling approach with most appropriate mood expressions.
This was great, thank you for the time you gave into making it.
I think there's plenty of mistakes. As a French man, I can say that Jules Brunet's not longer known in France but I recently went to Hokkaido (precisely Hakodate) and the most well-known "Last Samurai"'s name is Toshizo Hijikata. Jules Brunet appears on only one photo in the whole museums. Moreover, Brunet's built Goryokaku neither. It was built from 1857 under Iesada Tokugawa's reign.
I will disagree that Japanese people know this guy. Even my friends who are guides in Hokkaido never knew him. This is really nice and informative. Thank you. As I am a professional guide and have lived here in Japan for many, many years, I will continue to tell his story. I agree with the person that stated that this story is more fascinating.

As usual, Hollywood changing history to depict an all American hero.
I still enjoyed the movie though. 😕
All American anti-hero
The movie wasn't famous because they was telling the truth about Red Indian, which Hollywood hated..
for example Marlon Brando didn't came to collect the Oscar and he sent a red Indian lady to represent him with the speech about the red Indian and most of crowd was disliking her.
This was my thought..

same here lol.
dont sleep next time while watching videos ok?
The Emperor looks too young in the film to be the Emperor Meiji of the Satsuma Rebellion. Though the Satsuma Rebellion involved the final significant rebellion in Japanese history, and therefore the "Last Samurai," as it were, the story is definitely based on this Frenchman, just as the film is centred around 'Captrain Algren.'
I also got the impression, watching the film, that it was set in Japan's isolated northern reaches, and not in the South West (Satsuma Rebellion).
This was awesome :) thank you for the video.
Wonderful documentary...thanks a lot
wow! the true story is even better. thanks for the vid info. more! more!
The true story is more fascinating than the movie. They should have just stuck to the facts. Thank you for the truth.

Kinda messed up they made him American in the movies.
Well, considering the usually bad reputation of the the French military in the American civilian population, the director and Co. probably thought the US audience wouldn't like the movie as much.

"The Last Samurai" with Tom Cruise is one of my favorite movies. I had no idea that the film was based in fact.
Great video! Love the pictures.
A beautiful piece of history.
A time better than ours.
I saw the movie a few weeks ago and do not approve of the fact that it replaced France with America. The people who fought side by side with the Japanese were French and that is what they should have been in the movie, but movies are always embellished to make them more popular. I prefer documentaries which portray the real story. .
Make a movie with an American is not a problem (business, I think). But they should have specified in the generic that the character was inspired from Jules Brunet.
*****
Exactly.
+Blackmagicboy
I really enjoyed the movie, and only just discovert that the true story. Im french and to be honest, it doesnt really matter, a movie is a movies, especially that this one does not claim to be a true story. A metion about Jules Brunet could have been done in the generic but it would probably have created more problems. We should be carful about what we beleive throught what we see on screen, and if a story really intrests us, its our job to go look it up. On that matter, you should watch "operation lune" of William Karel(its a french film but a subed version can probably be found). It explicitly shows that you need to be carful about what you beleive and what images can make you beleive.

Ce que tu dis pourrait faire sens si les cultures étaient égales dans la puissance de production d'imaginaire. Ce n'est pas le cas. Quand un héros est assimilé Américain dans un film, il le reste et personne ne fera l'effort d'aller chercher si c'est vrai ou pas. C'est ce qu'on appelle le "soft power" ou le pouvoir de suggestion par la culture populaire. Culture populaire qui, par essence, n'incite pas à la recherche.
Merci de rendre un homage aux derniers Samourai pour leur bravoure en ces temps difficiles ou nous perdions tous,nous avons incris un dernier homage dans l'histoire de l'empire; mais il reste toujours quelque chose par les arts.

The March 11, 1895, Japan which has just come out of a stressful war "modern" with China, will recall this former "samurai" which contributed to the extinction of the caste to which, by 1876 it had been forbidden to wear the sabre, by raising to the rank of grand officer of the Sacred Treasure of the Mikado.i spoke well of jules BRUNET

Very good use of the soundtrack from the movie...I also learned something. well done
Excellent historical storytelling. The problem with history is that we rarely hear anything about the individual dramas that create the whole.
Keep in mind this is a completely different story than the one in the movie. This is during the Boshin War, whereas in the movie, the story happens nearly ten years after the civil war, during the Satsuma Rebellion. The rebellion is led by Saigo Takamori, who in the movie is known by the name Katsumoto and is a former general that led nearly all Imperial victories (both in movie and history). The American soldier is added only to develop the beginning of the story even better, leading into the plot, to the climax and the end. The movie is not about Algren or Katsumoto, its about the respect of the Japanese ancient and longlasting culture.

that is it!!!!
How dare you offer history outside of the Hollywood cinematic universe... and with a French guy instead in this UA-cam universe. Tom Cruise will forever be my hero😁
thank you for this video, you did it great!
Wonderful story; truly heroic.
USA basically : mocking French for being "cheese eating surrender mokeys", litteraly stealing French heroes to make movies.
The movie is about the Satsuma rebellion which takes place 7 years after this
Because there's no hero from there, well except Indians
Is that a Jeremy Clarkson quote?? He’s a Brit
Well it's better than stealing Polish hero's
Right... Because America is why the French are still speaking French instead of German. Fuckin lop.
I think the French surrendering has tarnished them more than they deserve, they were the most powerful military force in the world for a very long time, the USA would not exist without them tbh, it is something as an American I am proud of that we answered the call when they needed us. Side note in WWI the Indian soldiers need more recognition, they had vastly more soldiers fighting for the UK compared to mainland British.

This is really cool. I did not know this. Thank you.
I want to congratulate the initiative for this video! Nice work, very well-done! But if I may say, i'm afraid the shogunal faction during the Boshin War was not in favour to carry on Sakoku. It was the Bakufu itself who oppened the ports under pression of the imperialism more than a decade before! The question of seclusion was already settled at this moment. The Boshin war was a consequence of a couple d'etat. (And sorry for my bad english, it is not my native language)
Beautiful, it's very interessant know one French fought for the last samourais
samuraus are kinda selfish u know... read a history book instead of anime. jesus.
The Samurai were fighting to maintain the class distinction and status. It is is hardly beautiful to fight for a group of people who want to maintain the subjugation of a population who wanted greater equality.

Cool he was French. If the text"This is based on a true story" would have come up the first time I saw the Movie. I would have respected it for ever. Now I found out many years later just clicking around on UA-cam. Thanx uploaded. I guess its time to see it once again, now with an awesome "True Story" feeling.
Now that is COOL....
The ironic thing is, Hollywood could have made a movie about Frederick Townsend Ward, an American mercenary who trained Chinese troops during the Tai Ping rebellion, instead of fucking up the story of this Frenchman. Typical Hollywood, opportunities missed and mistakes jumped on.
Bravo Zulu! Excellent point
