Yes, Keanu is half Japanese, so him playing a half Japanese character in a movie makes sense. Tom Cruise being associated with the last Samurai of the shogun era makes no sense, this is Chewbacca, Chewbacca is a wookie, why would he hang out on the planet Endor with a bunch of ewoks? It makes no sense.

I’m also baffled by your ewoks and wookie analogy, can’t Chewbacca come visit endor to hangout with the ewoks? And why doesn’t it make sense?

So you’re saying is Americans shouldn’t have been in Japan at that time? I’m really struggling with you last samurai argument here. He’s a former American soldier hired to train japanese soldiers on modern warfare. He got captured and got close to his captor who happens to be the “last samurai”. I really don’t get how he doesn’t fit in the story the way Keanu playing a half Japanese half Caucasian because he is one.

They both fit in the respective story line, that’s the point…

Aside from the fact that Tom Cruise is one of leading members of the Scientology Cult, but that’s a completely different story.

Leftism

Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it’s leftist, it’s welcome here!

Rules:

  • Absolutely no fascism, right wing extremism, genocide denial, etc.
  • Unconditional support of authoritarians will not be tolerated
  • Good faith discussion about ideologies is encouraged, but no sectarianism
  • No brocialism/sexism
  • No ableism
  • No TERFs/ anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric
  • No racism
  • No trolling
  • No insults, dunking, or personal attacks
  • No posting of misinformation, disinformation, or fake news
  • Mods have final say

Posting Expectations:

  • Comics/memes/shitposts/propaganda are only allowed on weekends
  • Try to avoid liberalism unless discussing electoral politics. Even then, try to focus on tactical agreement towards leftist goals
  • Only one meta post seeking consensus per person per day
  • Posts about a particular ideology are ok, but remember the rules above
  • Remember that there is no “right way” to implement leftist theory. This rule does not prevent academic criticism.
  • Try to avoid extremely sensitive topics unless approaching them with appropriate care for intersectionality. Use your best judgement, and be prepared to provide respectable sources when having these discussions. Wikipedia is not an acceptable source in these cases.
  • Post titles must be meaningful and relevant, except on weekends
