the Last Samurai (2003)
Without a doubt, one of the best movies, i have ever seen, and I've seen a lot of movies.
Tom Cruise, the man who never ages, did a phenomenal job portraying a white dude. in real life, a white dude would never fight with the Samurais, but this is just a movie.
the movie takes place in Japan, circa 1800s. Around this point in time, the dutch had come to Japan for trade. Tom Cruise, is a white guy who gets separated from his people and ends up in a small Samurai village.
An absolutely beautiful portrayal of the Samurais and Japanese culture, plus amazing battle scenes, and great dialogue. the film accurately depicts the loyalty and life of a Samurai.
one of my favourite parts of the movie, is the battle between the Japanese military and the Samurais.
the last twenty minutes are probably the most painful scene in the film, and for me, a tear-jerker
The movie was great, i enjoyed every single second of it, maybe because of my love for the Japanese, but it was still an amazing film.
the Last Samurai is a film everyone and anyone should see.
i rate the Last Samurai, 5 stars. that's a tough spot to get
even the trailer will get you going
I am with you on this one. maybe even 6 stars.....a tearjerker and a beefjerky reacher. Cruise is cruise. Watanabe and Sanada are awesome...... Even Billy Connelly rocks the casbah in this one!
