I know that Samurai Champloo is not historically accurate.

The show is supposed to take place in Edo-era Japan, at the onset of the Christian Purges. You’ll often find, though, that Champloo’s version of Japan includes some modern inventions and activities as well. Along with Jin’s modern glasses, the show comes upon instances of graffiti, rapping, baseball, and more. There’s just as much classical Japanese art and music thrown in to balance out these cases, so the end result winds up like the bizarre son of Ruroni Kenshin and Cowboy Bebop.

Just because you hear something repeatedly does not mean it is true and this is definitely not true.

Mahfuz, stop asking questions when you dont know all the facts.  the guillotine was created before the the french revolution.  do what the samurais did when they were defeated, fall on you sword and stop asking questions.

I do not plan to see it, and its not because I feel threatened by it. I am strong enough in my faith to not let it pull me away from the truth but sadly, many people who read this fictional book, believe that it is true.  I do not want to support a book (or movie) that denies the Diety of Christ,  denies the accurracy of the bible,  and says Chist had children and a sexual relationship with Mary Magdeline.  There is no historical evidence to support any of Dan Browns theorys(lies) as being true.  I would feel like a hypocrite if I supported something that causes others to stumble in finding their relationship with God.

Samurai Champloo was awesome!  I hope Afro Samurai is at least as good, if not better.  If it's done by the same group, then the music, animation and action should all ROCK !!

it only claims that it is based on facts that doesn't even exist.  like for one, in the book's fact page, the priory of sion was being mentioned as an organization in the early 1099. in 1975, the Les Dossiers Secrets was discovered in Paris's Bibliotheque Nationale identifying Leonardo Da Vinci as member of the org. this is the major basis of the novel.  but the truth of this is that the Priory of Sion did not exist until 1957.  How can Leonardo Da Vinci be a member or a grandmaster for that matter he has already rotten?  Everything that Dan Brown has written about the Priory of Sion was based not on historical facts but rather on claims found in the Priory of Sion documents – all bogus works of historical fiction stemming from Plantard's fertile imagination (and what gave them a deeper ‘esoteric’ flavour was Philippe de Chérisey's input, who tried to decorate the fantasies in a surrealist fashion).\n\nit has misrepresented the church as a murderous institution and that Christian faith is utterly false.  \n\nIt isn't a defense to say that The Da Vinci Code is a work of fiction. Fiction can't change the basic facts about major historical figures without being subject to criticism. People would be outraged if Doubleday printed a novel portraying Adolph Hitler in a positive light. Christians have a right to be outraged when the basic historical facts about Christ are falsified. The criticism will be even more intense when a publisher releases a book parodying the most sacred beliefs of others in this fashion.\n\nFurther, as we have seen in this special report, the book takes great pains to create the appearance of factuality, including placing the infamous "fact" page at the beginning of the novel. Brown has stressed the ostensible accuracy of the book on his web site and in interviews. This is not a case where an author and a publisher have produced an ordinary novel. They have gone to great lengths to mislead people into thinking that the novel has a historical basis. They deserve especially sharp criticism for this, and when criticism is made they cannot hypocritically hide behind the "It's just fiction" allegation after having made such extensive efforts to convince the reader that it is not "just fiction."

Don't bother. I don't know where they got there information from but the film is a very suuped up, historically incorrect mistake! They must have had a low budget and a bunch of disillusioned morons writing the script. Dont take it seriously. If i can comment positively on anything it's that it's quite a 'pretty' film.

It has nothing to do with 100 years ago.  It has to do with racism and discrimination that exist today
