What is it?
1:09:03
What is it?
Something about you.
1:09:05
What don't you understand
about me?
1:09:07
Your life... It seems to me
to be peacefulness itself.
1:09:11
Why then... have you
joined the cause?
1:09:15
It should be obvious to you. My
reason is the same as yours.
1:09:20
No. You shouldn't
joke about it.
1:09:22
I'm different from you.
1:09:25
If I don't do something, I'll either
starve like a stray dog...
1:09:28
...or have to live
like a bandit.
1:09:32
"In order to stay dry, you've got to cross
bridges, no matter how dangerous."
1:09:37
On the other hand... your situation
is completely different.
1:09:41
You resigned from a comfortable 300-
koku post as a Shogunate aide!
1:09:44
My principles, you see... are contained
in the books you see there.
1:09:53
The world is fast changing
around us.
1:09:57
The 300-year old feudal govern-
ment of the Shogunate...
1:10:00
...is doomed, thanks to the arrival of the
American Black Ships at Shimoda.
1:10:05
The world is moving
in a new direction...
1:10:08
...and I want to help push it
forward with all my might.
1:10:12
My feelings are the same as yours.
1:10:13
My feelings are the same as yours.
No, it's different. I...
1:10:15
No, it's different. I...
1:10:16
Well, listen!
No, it's different. I...
1:10:17
You're deliberately blinding yourself
to what's really essential...
1:10:19
...and putting the blame
on something else.
1:10:22
We are both at the center of a vortex
of revolutionary change.
1:10:28
We're trapped in an unstoppable,
enormous whirlpool...
1:10:33
And, everyone is thinking...
"I've got to do something."
1:10:40
No, I'm not like that.
1:10:43
For me, this is the surest, quickest
way of becoming a noble samurai.
1:10:47
In other words... I want to live more
like a human being... And that's all.
1:10:55
What's the matter?
1:10:56
What's the matter?
"Like a human being," you said?
1:10:58
"Like a human being," you said?
1:10:58
Why, is that crazy?
"Like a human being," you said?
1:10:59
Why, is that crazy?
1:10:59
Why, is that crazy?
No, it's not crazy.
