I think something that ppl should consider also: Nathan is the first and ONLY person that shows remorse for her husbands death. Everyone else in the village treats his death as an acceptable event. The first softness shown to her for her loss...is from the man who took his life. A man who has also shown her and her son kindness and respect. Its overwhelming to her. Makes retaining anger towards him near impossible. Even better: none of the nuance and internal conflict over this unusual turn of circumstances is sacrificed. It is all conveyed so well and beautifully by both actors
I can't believe I hadn't even thought of that in the slightest. It makes his apology so much more earnest, honest, and painful. Few seemed to actually care that he was gone because he died a "good" death, that it was honorable, and karma. The loss of life weighed by the natural balance of a world they, Japanese men, truly believe in. *But Nathan is not Japanese*
@@saeedvazirian actually... he didnt murder ANYONE. Her husband tried to execute HIM. if anything, she should be ashamed that she has to look after the man that her husband tried to kill. He actually doesnt owe her any apology...but does so anyway because he still regrets having to do what he did. So if youre really hard up to find a fkn ret#$d to blast on, check out the nearest mirror, first
When Algren says: "There's so much here that I will never understand" this is one of those moments. He was surprised how she accepted his apology. Their way of life was so different from other civilizations.
I wouldn't say never. I know Algren said never but the end scene of him returning to Japanese village maybe just maybe will be his opportunity to learn more about their culture.
@Sean I think the fact he knows Custer did such rephrensible acts, and as two warriors they balance the concept of what is 'ok' is so great about this. The utter cultural differences without being able to enunciate?
@Sean there is understanding between soldiers if not love we respect a soldier from another side because we understand the oath they took. It's very strange and often even us soldiers often find it hard to understand but that shared experience and duty is something we all understand even amongst enemies.
@@SagaciousNihilist well in this culture there is an understanding even the families really understand because as a wife of a Samurai she serves to. Especially in this society.
Lee Chang This video was good but this one explains everything about the Japanese Culture ua-cam.com/video/DABT_qjRpaA/v-deo.html in my humble opinion.
This kind of understanding and forgiveness is so rare to find. Nowadays, there are a lot of hates, so much anger that can burn the world down to ashes.
Its a very rare Thing, not only nowadays. It takes a lot of character, Bravery and inner peace to forgive the Killer of your Husband and being told to take care of him etc.
I consider this scene as the best one in the movie, I've liked Taka so much. How can a woman hosts the man who killed her husband even if he killed him in the context of war but it is so hard. What a woman!
The older brother told her it was her husband that want to kill him first. That is how she acknowledged that it wasn't;t his fault, but they're soldiers.
I agree with you totally. I’ll tell you a story 100% real. Happens in my country. Imagine you’re living in a small village with no more than 300 population and at the Second World War the Germans make invasion to your village. They took all the mens including your husband and your son. After they putt all of them at wall and killed them , just like that. And do you know what was the ultimate soul break? After they forced the women to cook cause they were hungry. What a women.
Taka was expertly portrayed, for the amount she was given. The actress, Koyuki, has this gentle and loyal appearance with a subtle hint of sadness in some scenes. That's at least how I see it.
Well, she was ordered to by Katsumoto. And in feudal Japan, women didn't have a legal status all that much higher than furniture. Like, even in some places in modern Japan women are expected to hold doors open for men. That happened to me once when I was over there, a woman held the door open for me and I was like "Hey, I'm not Japanese. You first, ma'am."

("that person" indicates distance from speaker and listener, in this case emotionally, spiritually, and figuratively, like he is in the past; Taka is using formal language, choosing _togemashita_ versus the casual _togeta_ to show politeness but also emotional distance from Algren; she maintains this level of formality throughout the rest of the scene. _honkai_ also means "great ambition"; basically, the highest achievement a samurai can earn is to fight and die in honorable combat.) *Taka* : あなたも、あなたのすべきことをしただけです。 _anata_ _mo_ _anata_ _no_ _subeki_ _koto_ _o_ _shita_ _dake_ _desu_ "And you, you only did what you ought to have done." (Taka says _anata_ instead of using Algren's name _aruguren_ _no_ _subeki_ ... which, depending on the context, could sound slightly impolite--in this case she is not being rude, but again maintaining emotional distance. In fact, I don't recall her mentioning Algren's name the entire movie.) *Taka* : お気持ちだけわ。 _okimochi_ _dake_ _wa_ "There is only that feeling." (The trailing _wa_ is used to convey emotion and admiration, and is generally considered feminine speech, although men may use it as well. In this scene, it signals that she is communicating her genuine emotion aka _honne_ , rather than dispensing polite-yet-insincere niceties, aka _tatemae_ . The honorific _o_ before _kimochi_ "feeling" tells me she is speaking either about Algren's feelings--as in, she acknowledges that he had no ill-will and was only dispassionately doing his duty--or she could be speaking more generally about the "feeling" or atmosphere surrounding the whole matter, the sum total of the attitudes and feelings of Algren, Hirotaro, Taka, and all others involved. Whichever, she is certainly _not_ speaking about her own feelings specifically, as in "These are *my* only feelings on the matter." To apply an honorific in reference to oneself is considered rude speech. In this very Japanese manner of communication, she is gracefully keeping herself, her emotions and voice, out of the conversation --if she speaks about the matter abstractly, versus the more accusatory and adversarial " *I* accept *your* apology because *you* wronged *me* ", she helps Algren save face and avoid embarrassment, which is one of the highest forms of courtesy in Japanese culture. The movie translation “I accept your apology.” misses the Japanese nuance surrounding humility, authority and shame, because it puts Taka in a position over Algren, at least to the Japanese ear. In English, she is *accepting* an apology owed to her by him; his salvation is contingent upon her allowing him forgiveness. In Japanese, she speaks of the feeling in the abstract, absolving Algren from responsibility and shame.) Please excuse me if I have made errors in either translation or interpretation, as I am not a native Japanese speaker.
Taka seemed a very sad woman through the movie but now that I watch again this scene she was happy for a brief moment. Ancient Japanese world was too damn hard and the lumbering apologies shoud have been a sweet relief for her in middle of so much discipline. Taka realizing there's finally who understads what mourning actually is
@@MrHarrystankWow! An amazing explanation, I actually felt all that you said but converting it into words was too tiresome for me. Great work by the way.
A huge part of her grief is that she lost her purpose. That is a huge deal to Japanese women of this time period. She served Hiratoro. She not only lost him but lost herself. Her brother gave her purpose again by making her take care of Algren.

Quite the turn of events when you as a mother feel safe and even comforted allowing your children to bond with the man who killed your husband and their father. Life leads us to strange places.
Lord; I truly pray for someone like her. Truly gentle Spirited. So humble. That tradition keeps things so simple and only focuses on what truly matters.
This is the defining moment or focal point of the whole film. My favorite by the way. Captain Nathan Algren is a man looking for redemption. Everything he has done all those years after the army and where it has driven him, his search brings him to this moment with Taka, the wife of the Samurai he has killed. This is the turning point in his life. "I accept your apology"
Taka is so strong, she had every right to be pissed at Nathan for killing her husband and the father of her kids. She had every right to not accept his apology nor forgive him. But in the end she did chosen to forgive him as he shown remorse for what he did and validate her grief and what she is going through. I think that help Taka alot considering the village more or less accepts it without thinking about the weight of it. Yes her husband is a samurai and he did what he was told to do as a samurai and warrior. But Taka's husband was a human man with feelings, life, family... so yeah. I hope she will find peace with Nathan.
@Check the stupidity came from your colonial ancestors ...most of the foreigners that came to France are mostly from former colonised countries which im sure you are very well aware of...what your ancestors did to those countries causes their current generation today having a rough time at their own homeland ... And that's a fact ...
In this movie Captain Algren struggles to *unify with* and *master* the katana because of his deep regrets for having killed Taka’s husband. Despite the fact it was an *honourable* death rendered and received on *equal terms* during the course of *active* combat (1). However, soon after his apology he does make great progress in swordplay to the extent of at least being able to equal Ujio using the wooden bokken (2). Thus proving that you really have to find a way to completely *let go* of the past through *making amends* in some way to those who suffer due to your actions *in the course of* your profession. Regardless of whether your actions were righteous or otherwise, *before* you can achieve a sense of Harmony *in that* profession. Bearing in mind, to master the sword you have to *first* master your *mind,* as if they are *one and the same.* Maybe you cannot render a direct apology such as this but *from* Love and *for* Love, so long as you can *expand your mind* and *comprehend* their suffering, you should be able to *connect* with them on some *deeper* level *through* the Principle of Love. And, *not* from guilt or shame or sorrow or repentance but rather *just* Compassion, *make amends* in some way *simply* for the fact they *are* suffering *and* you played a role in that, righteous or otherwise. The same applies for all those persons, harmless or otherwise, who have directly suffered as a result of your actions in combat, whether inadvertently, recklessly or intentionally. Ultimately, this exercise should bring you peace of mind if you have none. 1. ua-cam.com/video/bnzMVisprX8/v-deo.html. 2. ua-cam.com/video/jTOwYXx8a18/v-deo.html.
What a beautiful scene - respect for a different culture, whilst there is lack of full understanding of it. Respect for the man he killed, the wife who is providing the multiple layers that influence cultural development, spiritual awaking, maternal and childhood innocence blended together!
People who do not like the movie, because "it idealizes the noble sacrifice and denigrates modern society" simply just can't accept other ideologies that don't fit into their own worldview.
Modern society doesnt need this movie or Tolkiens work to denigrate it, it has accomplished that on its own, especially current modern western society which is pure degeneracy with no merits.
In the beginning Algren had no idea he had killed her husband. Until Katsumoto told him. I think at that moment he felt guilty, knowing that man he killed had a wife and kids at home. In his mind he destroyed a family , now he's trying to fill the void of the emptiness she feels. He treats her and her kids with respect and he even helps out around the house. They literally became each other's peace he was a alcoholic and she stood by him and now he's doing the same for her through her depression. At this moment both recognized they both had a duty and like katsumoto said it was karma he tried to kill the American .
Thanks for the clip. But the translation from her reply to his saying he's sorry wasn't "apology accepted." That takes away from what she said about either one doing their duty. It was more like (apology not needed), but thank you for your consideration (kimochi = feelings).
I love that she found it so weird when he helped her. I’m an Asian female and let me tell you. One of the reasons I prefer western men (not just white men; Asian men who were born and raised in the west are also included) is that they are more likely to see you as an equal. A companion. Not a servant. I was raised by a traditional Asian father who expected my mom to treat him like a king and even as a child it bothered me. I didn’t understand how my mother was somehow less just because she is a woman. They weren’t partners, rather he was a superior and she was a subordinate. We moved to the west when I was 17 and he mellowed a bit after being exposed to their culture and I’m so glad we did because had we not done that, I probably would’ve grown up expecting that’s the same fate waiting for me when I marry and it’s normal. Hell no.
You know what is the most embarrassing? It's when a guy takes your burden away from you and treat you like glass. I remembered a new student who came into my class with his dad. We had no extra table, so I had to go to the next class to look for one. I, being a typical Asian woman, carried the table all the way to the class. I mean, it's a common thing to do for a teacher, running errands, getting her student a table or a chair and all... But, the dad came running all over towards me, saying "No. No. No. Let me carry it." He quickly took it away from me, carried it to her daughter's classroom. I mean, I can do it the way he did, with the same speed and all but... the fact that a man suddenly felt like it wasn't my burden to carry embarrassed me to no ends. I thanked him like a nitwit later... but, I will remember that event for life... Looking at Taka's face after the basket was taken away, makes me think... I think I kinda understand how she feels...
it's not that he thought it was a burden. I would do the same as a gesture of kindness and respect. Men used to stand up when a woman left the table and opened doors for others.
In the that time period Algen was doing it not to embarrass her or think she couldn't carry the burden of work, but because Western men in that era were brought up to be a gentlemen, which is why he said , "I'm not Japanese" implying "I understand your culture but please allow me to help you." He was attempting to fit in as he accepted his duty to the family. Remember he killed Hirotaro in self defense, so he was attempting to repay this debt every way he knew how. So even if it was a little abrasive, his heart was in the right place which is why she accepts his apology exclaiming basically that in war fighting men do create situations such as the one he was currently ( as well as Hirotaro's family ) was having to go through.
Thanks for sharing. We all try to be kind and respectful but interesting how some actions which are perfectly normal and good in one culture could be shameful and rude in another.
He try to find white because he wants to keep the memory of his father. I don’t event know what is the meaning of this clothing but shame on people who search his soul 🤍🧡

In the beginning Algren had no idea he had killed her husband. Until Katsumoto told him. I think at that moment he felt guilty, knowing that man he killed had a wife and kids at home. In his mind he destroyed a family , now he's trying to fill the void of the emptiness she feels. He treats her and her kids with respect and he even helps out around the house. They literally became each other's peace he was a alcoholic and she stood by him and now he's doing the same for her through her depression. At this moment both recognized they both had a duty and like katsumoto said it was karma he tried to kill the American .
Tom and Koyuki Kato best romentic pair ❤❤❤❤
Thanks for the clip. But the translation from her reply to his saying he's sorry wasn't "apology accepted." That takes away from what she said about either one doing their duty. It was more like (apology not needed), but thank you for your consideration (kimochi = feelings).
That music, though..
The understanding.
I love that she found it so weird when he helped her. I’m an Asian female and let me tell you. One of the reasons I prefer western men (not just white men; Asian men who were born and raised in the west are also included) is that they are more likely to see you as an equal. A companion. Not a servant. I was raised by a traditional Asian father who expected my mom to treat him like a king and even as a child it bothered me. I didn’t understand how my mother was somehow less just because she is a woman. They weren’t partners, rather he was a superior and she was a subordinate. We moved to the west when I was 17 and he mellowed a bit after being exposed to their culture and I’m so glad we did because had we not done that, I probably would’ve grown up expecting that’s the same fate waiting for me when I marry and it’s normal. Hell no.
Not all Asian men are like that. In Philippines we do not treat women as servant.
@@mrniceguy7166 Lmao I’m Filipino. Read my original post.
@jdoe5873
Me too I wish I marry a western gentleman for these little things
Not all asian are like that, I'm from Indonesia
Loved the cast. She came out in one of my favorite jdrama called "Kimi wa Petto".
the difference of a Asian Actress and an actress like Ambher Tart,,, no wonder why most middle age Americans are sourcing for love in Asia
They want traditional women and they wont find that among these promiscuous feminism/ male-like western women.
Maybe put the subtitles in English as the video title etc is....
Andrew Daly it's indonesian subtitle and i like it cuz i'm indonesian :v
@@iqbalrizaldi5868 Fair enough.
Well to be fair he tried to kill Nathan first it was only self defence.
In real life the little one would have come back in at 1:09 crying, after having his hair pulled by his sister 😅

You know what is the most embarrassing? It's when a guy takes your burden away from you and treat you like glass.
I remembered a new student who came into my class with his dad. We had no extra table, so I had to go to the next class to look for one. I, being a typical Asian woman, carried the table all the way to the class. I mean, it's a common thing to do for a teacher, running errands, getting her student a table or a chair and all... But, the dad came running all over towards me, saying "No. No. No. Let me carry it." He quickly took it away from me, carried it to her daughter's classroom. I mean, I can do it the way he did, with the same speed and all but... the fact that a man suddenly felt like it wasn't my burden to carry embarrassed me to no ends. I thanked him like a nitwit later... but, I will remember that event for life...
Looking at Taka's face after the basket was taken away, makes me think... I think I kinda understand how she feels...
it's not that he thought it was a burden. I would do the same as a gesture of kindness and respect. Men used to stand up when a woman left the table and opened doors for others.
@@DapaChrons yeah, I understand. But, it still gives me a red face. 🤭🤭🤭 Haha
In the that time period Algen was doing it not to embarrass her or think she couldn't carry the burden of work, but because Western men in that era were brought up to be a gentlemen, which is why he said , "I'm not Japanese" implying "I understand your culture but please allow me to help you." He was attempting to fit in as he accepted his duty to the family. Remember he killed Hirotaro in self defense, so he was attempting to repay this debt every way he knew how. So even if it was a little abrasive, his heart was in the right place which is why she accepts his apology exclaiming basically that in war fighting men do create situations such as the one he was currently ( as well as Hirotaro's family ) was having to go through.
Thanks for sharing. We all try to be kind and respectful but interesting how some actions which are perfectly normal and good in one culture could be shameful and rude in another.
Well fuck it then! I'm just going to stand there and watch you and if you ask me for help, I'm just going to say no! EQUAL RIGHTS!
Adminnya orang indo wkwkwkw

The American and a cat....
Where the apologies to the BLACK MAN!
Tom cruise matters
He try to find white because he wants to keep the memory of his father.
I don’t event know what is the meaning of this clothing but shame on people who search his soul 🤍🧡
"I'm just joking. I'm not sorry. In fact, I actually enjoyed killing him."
😂😂😂
