Can anyone please tell me of a specific scene in the movie "The Last Samurai" which illustrates a samurai behaving according to the code of bushido, which emphasizes loyalty, self sacrifice, justice, sense of shame, refined manners, purity, modesty, frugality, martial spirit, honor, and affect. If you could also tell me approximately what time into the film the example occurs at that would be greatly appreciated as well!

"The Last Samurai" was loosely based on the 1877 Satsuma Rebellion

When the leader of the Samurai's killed his friend because the friend was disgraced or some such thing. Tom Cruise's character had just came to China and was riding in the woods.
When the leader of the samurai's killed him self or Cruise's character did it, I can't remember which. The last battle, coming to the end of the movie.
When two men who met as enemies became very great friends-Tom and the samurai, most of the middle part of the movie.

When the Samurai fight to death even though they know they will lose.The Samurai have been taught since they were young to honour their leaders.At the last battle near Saigo's Base is where the true spirit is shown.By the way the movie is based on the Saigo Rebellion in 1876 or something rather?
