What is 'it'? [spoilers]


The word "it" was used throughout the movie. "It" is what they were fighting for, but they didn't all know or agree on what "it" was. I think that's the point of the whole movie. Is war for honor, for food, for the emperor, for control over land? War--what is it good for?

[spoiler] In the end, "it" was the common man. Sort of a democratic view, that war is for the farmer and his mom. The final shot of the film is of vast fields of rice, another part of "it".
