The First Samurai, with Tom Cruise

It was a little too bloody for my taste but I loved the whole lesson behind the story told. It is a story of a captian of American army who was hired to train Japans Army against a traitor. The soldier is captured by these people on a first war confrotation. They take care of him, teaching him the Samurai lifestyle and values. He finds himself in love with the new culture and way of life and start fighting on its side. One of the questions of another American soldier is: Why do you hate so much your own culture?

A few questions came to mind:

1) Do you ever find yourself liking your host culture better than your first culture?

2) Do you feel guilty about it?

3) Do you think this is healthy to feel or not to feel like that?

Movies

Is there a movie that touches you in a special way in what has to do with cultural adaptation? I just watched a movie: The First Samurai and it made me think of all the other movies that could teach so much about living in a second or third culture, adaptation, etc.

Can you suggest some movies that relate to that subject? Thanks!
