The Ways of These Warriors Were Hideous

Re “Actor Breathes New Life Into a Warrior’s Ways,” Nov. 28: To many people of Asia, the word “Bushido” evokes painful memories of brutal military expansionism, colonial subjugation, civilian massacres and barbaric beheading contests, as well as images of kamikaze attacks and ritualistic disembowelments. It may be an excellent money-making vehicle for Hollywood, but there is nothing noble, chivalrous or nostalgic about it.
