Comment on “This script is fantastic. Let’s get Julia Roberts to play Harriet Tubman.”

Wrong again, friend. And on multiple counts. Albeit some creative liberties were taken, it was not a biopic after all, Cruise plays a character who is an amalgamation of this guy:
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jules_Brunet
And this guy:
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugène_Collache
Both fought with the Bakufu and Brunet even achieved high status in Japanese society.
I invite you to read their wikis, albeit there are better writing on their adventures.

OK, thanks. I sometimes forget to check myself before forming a sentence in my mind.
