    Coming here after watching Shogun finale, and i gotta tell you, it is literally like watching deleted scenes that didn't make the cut. Hiroyuki Sanada is a MASTER class actor. He can just step on screen and you're instantly transported through time. Looking forward to more movies/shows of him!!❤❤

    You will absolutely love Shogun, streaming on Hulu right now, if you haven’t seen it already. It’s a miniseries based on the book Shogun, written by James Clavell in 1975. The authenticity is next level, to the point where the Japanese dialogue is scripted in 17th Century spoken Japanese. Try entering John Blackthorne faces Lord Toranaga for a taste of it. It’s an amazing scene. Enjoy.

    I love the way in the end, Ujio (Sanada) gives Nathan Algren (Cruise) a "slight" nod. He still doesn't like Algren at all, but gives a small amount of respect. Algren then takes his time and returns a more formal bow, almost to say "thanks" instead of "thank you very much." But his bow in return towards Ujio is only slightly more respectful. The tension between these 2 characters is prevalent during the entire movie, ...even at the end, just before the final battle, Ujio approves of Algren's red armor, but just "nods" him towards Katsumoto. If they became best buds, would have destroyed that tension. Very good directing by Edward Zwick.

    Ujio also trusted Algren to save Katsumoto from the residence after he was arrested by Omura, while he could have simply called him a fool. I think the tension was finally released after the village ambush, where Algren saved Hijgen, Taka and the others and fought alongside Katsumoto for the first time.

    Yeah, I was just there, looking at what was unfolding, and thinking to myself that the Japanese guy just wanted to break his spirit and force the "young upstart" to know his place. But no American would give up his freedom, even if it costs him his life. And it was kinda amusing to me to see how frustrating it was for the Japanese guy to keep trying to uphold his family honour by beating the fight out of Tom Cruise's character, and thinking he's finally done his job, and keep seeing signs of resistance, until he finally decided to just strike his sword way out of his reach and leave him exhausted in the mud. It's a very fascinating cultural exchange to watch. Tom Cruise's character probably didn't get why this guy was angry and just wanted to defend himself but wouldn't go down without a fight. And that's just something a Japanese guy wouldn't be used to seeing.

So by also showing the woman, as you'll notice it pans to her a lot, is being shown that her husband was defeated by a foreign but very clearly strong warrior, and not just killed by a weakling by some fluke or by a lack of skill. So in a weird way, beating the shit out of Tom Cruise's character restores some of the honor of her husband being defeated.

And with a perfectionist like Mr. Sanada, Shogun can only be more authentic than the Last Samurai. But in both cases, the way of the warrior/Samurai are depicted in a respected way.

    And this was after Tom went on to ruin the Mission: Impossible movies which were supposed to have mysterious cloak and dagger plots and helped turn them into generic action movies. He might still have it in him to let the story speak for itself, but I gather the cult of Scientology and his ego have infected his brain to the point of no return.

    We can see in this beautiful scene two ways to handle the concept of "honor" : the japanese one, where it's honorable to retire and accept defeat when you have been beaten fair and square, and the european one, where the honor is to keep fighting until you physically can't do it anymore, proving your valor in a fight. Love this movie and the acting from both actors.

    ​@@MisterW0lfe​Thank you for your reply. Although apparently, it appears so, if we look closely, we see that her worried face becomes more nervous when Sanada challenges Tom Cruise to a duel and we know her son is already out of danger. Also, it's evident from some of the previous scenes that despite being her husband's killer, Tom Cruise slowly carves a special place for himself in her heart, perhaps the sympathy a loving woman feels for a helpless person or the impact of Tom Cruise's strong masculine personality works as a catalyst in this case. Anyway, I'm not sure to what extent my observation is true, just a personal expression.
