That oscillation continues today, in movies like "Lost in Translation" and "The Last Samurai." Both movies take as their heroes broken-down Americans, hired by the Japanese, who find unexpected regeneration in opening themselves to Japan

And Commodore Perry's legacy:
A plague of white male English teachers coming to Japan saying "Uhh, I really wanna learn 'Boosheedoh' in 'Okeenahwah. "
I'm sure the new Tom "Koh nee chee wah" Cruise film won't make this phenomenon go away either
Why not just resurrect James Clavell's "Shogun" starring Richard Chamberlain as Anjin-san ?

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming...
