    I know there's some beef about the title of this video but I'll confess, the title is why I clicked it, if only to see WTF they were trying to say. But I knew within the first five minutes they would honor these warriors, these original men of planet earth and their story... as the filmmakers did.

      @Yōkai 369 Woah woah woah, These men are doing FULL CONTACT unarmored sparring just to prove how strong they are to each other. These men do have honor, they fight for the bare necessities of life. You sound like weeb trash, holding the samurai to such a high standard morally. They were people who had training in military weapons and backed a lord. that's pretty much it. Morally they are ambiguous as each lord and each samurai had his own motives. Oda nobunaga draws a lot of similarities in my mind to any other "warlord" type. He didn't possess amazing morals, he just wanted to unite Japan under a single banner, but for totally the different reasons depending on when and who you ask, like the USA while they were conquering indigenous people. We NOW get to enjoy a unified country, THEN he was murdering thousands of people in battles across Japan. He shot people with guns, just like these guys. I'm more blown away by you calling anyone in present day "primitive". Yikes

      @spiralrose Před 2 lety +7

      I think the documentarian is trying to use words that people in a first world might be able to associate with what they’re seeing.
      I saw the word “samurai,” and understood that I was about to watch a show about warriors with a certain level of skill.
      And these warriors MUST be scary with that stick, because a samurai is no minor comparison.
      See how that works?
      I haven’t come to the witch doctor part yet, but maybe they could have called him a shaman instead. Or priest. People would’ve understood either way

    • @spiralrose

      @@spiralrose Yes but that is unhealthy as it gives a false view of the culture which is misrepresenting this beautiful culture which has been cultivated on its own for thousands of years. To be a samurai is much different than just gathering for melee fights or being a warrior, it's a way of life and also a social class within Japan. They worked decent jobs as painters, crafters, and construction/engineering are just a few examples. The warriors in this culture don't do much in the way of work instead saving all their energy for war. Also, Samurai follow the ways of bushido which is to follow your master and avenge them if they were killed creating a very unique hyper loyal society/culture. This culture is different from that and they shouldn't misrepresent a culture by using other people's cultures instead encourage people to learn the names of these warriors and their ways.

    What a wholesome, beautiful people. The heavenly Creator really knew what he was doing when he created mankind in his image.
    Even the elders have smooth, wrinkle free, supple, highly melanated skin, absolutely beautiful. The sooner so called black people realise that melanin is a gift and a blessing from the Creator, the better things will be.
    I don’t call this primitive living, to me it’s living as one with the earth and your Creator. Their only possessions are their cattle. When I look around my London home and realise all the baggage and vanity I’ve collected over the years. I’m so thankful that the Creator has woken me up, and I’m at the stage where I have taken early retirement, to determine what I’m prepared to live without. There is peace and joy in simplicity. HalleluYah.

      How do you feel about that? Serious question. I've been having an enternal battle with myself on it. Part of me thinks its great we get to see it. How would we know they are there? How do we protect their lands and their ways to ensure they thrive? These tribes are closest to early human and how they lived and communicated so its fascinating to see and learn and imagine what life would have been like for humankind and where we came from. Its like the one visual we have of human ancestors. After all...Earth is Mother and Africa is the womb. But then that other part of me is like...do we really need to be introducing seemingly happy people to new technology? I saw another tribe in the Amazon who had no desire to give up their ways. Then the gov came in and gave them luxuries including a TV. It was borderline heartbreaking to see at the end of the doc this group of people gathered staring at the TV instead of what they were doing in the beginning of the doc...jumping in the river, hunting...little small every day hunter-gather tribal unit things. I feel like its all rock and a hard place to learn but also still be respectful and not use them for monetary gain and then not use that money to invest back. So I judge each creators differently- Who are they? What are their other videos? Is there flashy items on their insta? This channel seems "safe" to me. It has 1 million subs. Theres no glitz or HEY GUYS WELCOME TO MY CHANNEL AND TODAY WE GONNA SKIN A GOAT!- *NOT CLICKBAIT* I dont know. Sorry for all the words but after a few months of digging into to these your question is something I have been struggling with.

There's is literally nothing in this entire video that resembles the Samurai - from weapons, techniques, startegy, tactics, clothing/armor, Bushido code, influence, ethos, psychology, culture, social mores, etc.
    It's best to simply not make the analogy and let the Burnis and Surma represent themselves as they are. There's enough in them to admire, have great respect for, appreciation, and awe without the analogy.

    Soon as I saw the flag they carried to represent where they’re from I can see why it’s called “black samarai”and wow there fight scene are intense if they fighting become more barbaricly or believe more in death steel swords would probably be adapted. Fight for land keep them from becoming stronger it’s all a distraction to conquer for African it’s been happening since ages, a sad cycle it cycles it is

      What you came from is largely a matter of accident and happenstance. You had no say in it whatever. Nothing to be proud of
