Nights ago when my daughter and I was wide awake, that night because we want to finish watching that three hour movie "Kagemusha." It was a movie based on the life of the warlord Shengin Takeda (Tatsuya Nakadai) and his clan. The scenery where they filmed the movie looks like on top of the Macchu Picchu that's why it made me watch the entire long duration of the movie. The castle, old castles which I have seen only in old Japanese magazines when I had my research review at the Japanese embassy in Makati. That was many years ago. I think those old ancient castles do not exist anymore. Kagemusha is a Japanese movie or film directed by Akira Kurosawa. KAGEMUSHA is literally known as political decoy or a double for the original. The movie is very interesting and it was intellectually represented in a way that can make you think that war is actually a nonsense lost of precious lives wherein the leaders are selfish and over protective of themselves without concern for the lives of others. Leaders sit on their ass being protected by those who are closest to his rank, unmoved by the on going conflict and destruction until one by one all his men died and he died too in the end. Crazy! See nobody wins in war.
This movie showed something that is the focal point of today's dream of every leader in the world. Water is gold and it's water they really after. The movies of Bruce Willis, DIE HARD and two more sequels showed that amidst all the chaotic violent battle with the wit and evil, all the senseless deaths, all the secrecy that they have to masquerade in the end it's only water they are after. THE MISSION, V, Braveheart, MAD MAX and so many movies that lost its translation, they made the story longer and manipulation here and there but actually it's the WATER they are fighting. WATER! WATER! WATER!
While in Braveheart, the movie of Mel Gibson, he was a Scotland warrior whose father died from their number one enemy and oppressor. He didn't intend to fight nor on the side of negativity until his wife was savagely killed and that's the time that he became rebellious and started the war against the Englishmen. The ending was tragic.
So many wars. So many wasted lives. Wasting land when they should just plant. Billions of population to feed and food is so scarce. There are numerous rumors of wars and it keeps coming back like warts. Whenever I watched television shows camera men seem to focus those people with warts on their face. They too, have a battle with the wars on warts. You cannot resolve warts? YOu wont be able to solve war.
Do you have SAFE CLEAN WATER?
It's raining...and it's windy. Maybe there's a storm coming.

Note: Peru and Japan? The old ancient Japanese navigation and conquest is far better than any other nationalities in the world. Besides, there's no Englishmen, no Filipinos nor American during that time period. They were not born yet.
