Quotes from 47-Ronin
I watched the
movie last month with some friends. Despite of many critics towards this movie,
I still find that this one is still worth to watch and deserves a positive
credit. With only 57% likeability from rottentomatoes.com and 6.7/10
from imdb.com, at glance some of the people might skip to watch it due to its fair
review. Yet apart from some technical side of the movie, based on the story it
is certainly inspiring. It depicts a real-loyal-life group of master-less samurai
in 18th-century Japan who avenged the murder of their master. The plot of the
story might be a bit predictable, but nobody can predict some inspiring saying
from the samurai in the movie.
Taken from my
note when I watched the movie and some internet resources, these are some
quotes that are inspirational from the samurai that we might take as a life learning
point.
1. "Samurai
doesn't take credit of someone else's achievement"
2. “Remember,
there’s sacrifice involved in any kind of life. Even the man who chooses the
safe way has to give up the thrill of combat. The point is that once you know
what you want, you must be prepared to sacrifice everything to get it.”
3. “Some people
live all their lives without knowing which path is right. They’re buffeted by
this wind or that and never really know where they’re going. That’s largely the
fate of the commoners—those who have no choice over their destiny. For those of
us born as samurai, life is something else. We know the path of duty and we
follow it without question.”
4. “Hardship in our present life is an atonement for sins committed in our previous existence, or the education necessary to prepare for a higher place in the life to come.”
6. “…Remember, there's sacrifice involved in any kind of life. Even the man who chooses the safe way has to give up the thrill of combat. The point is that once you know what you want, you must be prepared to sacrifice everything to get it. Those who realize this are the fortunate ones. Those who know and can try. What more can a man ask for than that?”
7. "A crime without justice leaves a world of unbalance.. .the heavens look down on us in shame"
