I am, now as before, of the opinion that I did the best that I could do for my nation. I therefore do not regret my conduct and will bear the consequences that result from my conduct.

About This Quote

After the incident of the movie “The Last Samurai,” in which Tom Cruise played a very bad guy who beat his wife, attacked his daughter, shot people in the face, and then killed himself shooting himself in the face with a .44 Magnum, there was much talk about how Cruise had gone over the top. Many people felt that the movie would have been more compelling if he hadn’t committed suicide. But there were others who felt that Tom Cruise’s character was not a good man and that it was right for him to kill himself. It was also said that Cruise killed himself because he wasn’t ready to live without his criminal illusions. However, when you are in one of your darkest hours, is there anything you can do besides despair? There are many examples throughout history where people have taken their own lives when they could see no other way out of their situation.
