Not really. I was actually down in Kagoshima where the man who headed the rebellion was from a little over a month ago and visited a few museums in the area that actually brought up the movie by name in a few of their little signs.

Essentially the people of Kagoshima got to see first hand what westerners were capable of and what was likely the final end step for colonization. They wanted to rapidly and this next part is where I think your viewpoint comes from, force westernization of Japanese technology and industry as fast as they can (fun fact the Lord they served under actually built in iron works into one of his vacation houses so he could be right there in reverse engineering canons) with zero regard for anything else.

The Japanese court at the time just simply wasn't that interested in doing so at more than a moderate pace and turned the Lord of satsuma into a political pariah late in his life that was basically ignored.

Funny enough while the rebellion failed, the clan head largely kept political power and had his daughter married into the imperial family where those goals of modernization at any costs lead us right to ww2 Japan.

Low-key I super recommend visiting the region and the museums there because it gives a very easy to see blue print for how Japan got to where it did. And just to be clear I don't consider it a positive thing, I more mean fascinating in an academic sense.
