Tenet (2020)

Positioned as the saviour of Hollywood in the summer of 2020, Tenet was the first tentpole release to hit cinemas once the early lockdown restrictions were lifted. But many of those who flocked to its socially distant screenings were left wishing they’d stayed at home baking sourdough instead. Leaning into his worst impulses – metaphysical mumbo-jumbo, wafer-thin characterisation, painfully humourless dialogue – Nolan’s attempt to put a time-inverting spin on James Bond was an impenetrable slog that suggested he’d been blinded by his own hype. Tenet sure looks cool, but it’s all style and no substance. (Stream on HBO Max, Prime Video or Netflix. Rent on Google Play, Apple TV or Sky Store). (Photo: Warner Bros)

Samurai stories : Japan's elite warriors 

Propaganda ?

Even though the samurai were loyal, it is now thought that the stories have been exaggerated for the sake of nationalism. In reality, samurai would still betray each other and their shogun if needed. In this way, the banzai and kamikaze were a product of the Japanese state distorting the stories of the samurai for the sake of emboldening soldiers.

Kamikaze pilots

Famously, the Japanese had a squadron of pilots who would carry out suicide flights in order to blow up their targets. There was much honor in dying for your country.

WWII (1938-1945)

During WWII, Japanese soldiers returned to the samurai principle of "death before honor." They would carry out banzai attacks where a group of soldiers would charge at the enemy with no regard for their own safety.

Their legacy

The culture of the samurai left an indelible mark on Japanese culture in the shape of Bushido. In 1912, Bushido became the national moral code and much of the national identity was built around it.
