The guy that stabbed himself and had his head cut off wanted to die. They did it because they were ashamed of loosing and if they lost they could be captured. Its because they feel they lost there honor

The scene where he hugs Taka’s son is so powerful. To a lot of westerners, it may be just a “aww a hug” and move on but Japan at that time (arguably even today), a lot of the fathers don’t show affection to their sons like with the thought of that gesture as being weak. You have to be “strong” so the hug was a very vulnerable moment and probably new to the kid.

Remember, it was war and Algren killed Taka's husband in battle. Algren didn't "murder" anybody, as Taka said they both did their duty. I really enjoy you girls reactions because y'all pay close attention and there's very little talking over dialog, yet a lot of properly place comments and opinions. I love movies that are sad, funny, suspenseful, dramatic, action, etc...as long as they are well done and this one is exceptionally well done.

Another movie y'all might wanna check out is Last Of The Mohicans it's awesome it was filmed where I live in the mountains of North Carolina

Exactly that’s why I believe this movie is so underrated people thought it was Cruise making it about himself.

The Samurai that wants to kill Algren, is Hiroyuki Sanada, and he's been one of my favourite actors since the early eighties (He was known as 'Henry Sanada' during those times). The man has a long history in films.

This is one of my mothers favourite movies, I remember watching it with her and seeing her watch it when I was younger and never really understood what made it so good... Once I grew up I came to understand why, I suppose we each have our own little interpretation of it. I think this movie is an absolute masterpiece and everyone should watch it, I've seen it probably 20-30 times in my life and it still makes me tear up. New Subscriber for sure! Might I suggest Hacksaw Ridge, 47 Ronin, Godzilla (2014), Godzilla King of Monsters, Remember the Titans, Gladiator and more.

Seeing Nathan Algren never giving up, continues fighting on, and willing to die fearlessly in battle shows that he has the spirit, will, determination, fearlessness of the Samurai within him.

I'd say it's more the spirit of the Warrior rather than the Samurai themselves, which were a warrior social class and this war they refer to was them trying to keep their privileges in society rather than let the common folk be capable of becoming equal. The warrior spirit exists beyond cultural boundaries.

Great Reaction Ladies !!! You Both Have Very Good Hearts !!!

The son charged the enemy and didn’t risk running away and dying elsewhere because he wanted to die with honour….. and that he did.

The reason general Katsumoto cut off the other samurais head was due to respect. Not because he was a traitor. The losing samurai were expected to kill themselves which you see him do, if the opposing samurai did not respect him they would have left him suffer until he died. Cutting off his head ends his pain.

I love the duel between aldren and ujo or whatever. When they draw he's like 😳 yo this guy's actually a beast

11:44 The white tiger represents Byakko, the guardian spirit of the west. Seeing an american wielding that spear with a tiger's ferocity, Katsumoto took it as a sign.

Beautiful and inspiring movie

This is factual, in that, the Samurai Class was pretty much ended around this time period. That being the late 1870's. They were for sure a Class that would instill fear to the common Japanese. Just found you guy's, and love it, so far!!

In the beginning, Algren wants to die, and that's why he has no fear. Tom Cruise spent around six months learning the sword and Japanese for this role.

His son maybe could of survived, but it was his duty to die there. If the other men had tried to carry him it would of slowed them down too much. They very likely all would of died. If he had begged for more life the other men would of probably carried him, but his honor demanded he did not ask this of them. The honorable thing to do was accept his fate and give his comrades as much time as he could. Plus, every warrior wants to die like that. All great warrior tribes are cults. Thee ideal is everything. Everything is secondary to thee ideal, even your life. To lay your life on the alter of that ideal is the highest expression of your beliefs, which is precisely what the Samurai do at the end of the movie.

Good, clean reaction. I loved how you were there every step of the way. Good job. You've earned my like and my sub with this. It really felt like you were enjoying the movie instead of just trying to overcompensate with over the top "reactions" that many people do nowdays. I will be sure to tune in again.

lol Jen looked PISSED when Matsumoto died !!

That scene where Taka (the samurai's widow) helps Algren put on her late husband's armor is probably THE most sexually charged moment I've ever seen. It was so perfectly done. Great vid, guys. Liked and sub'd for more!

17:58 she didn't have to 'forgive' him, that's a Xtian concept - belonging to a samurai family she could only show warrior honor by obedience & being an impeccable host 2 her 'guest'

It's not that he was a traitor. When a Samurai loses a battle. This is the honor given to him. To die well.

Katsumoto has a vision while he’s meditating @ 0.20 11:44 Katsumoto sees his vision again . That’s why he has that reaction

Great reaction. Great awareness of the situations surrounding the film. It was impressive to watch 💯

You Ladies should watch the movie 300 about the 300 Spartans who held off an army of a million men for 3 days. It is amazing.

in the Samurai Culture if you fail you must take your own life, if you fail to do so you will lose your head.

Hey, just wanted to say: I love how you both inderstood the honor aspect and truly understood the meaning of one of my favorite movie. Thanks ya'll ❤

I know u probably wanted a happy ending but we never actually know if he ever went back to the village. Its just the narrator that wants to believe that. This was an excellent movie. Personally, its my second favorite Tom Cruise movie after "Collateral". Check out "The Last of the Mohicans" next

I wish you would watch War Horse please 😊

The scene where Ujio duels with(beats the hell out of) Algren in the rain shows the village's desire for justice against the outsider. They, compelled by duty, all must be polite to their prisoner/guest. Inwardly, they know this is the enemy, and he has killed a cherished senior member of the village, and brought shame to his wife, who must now care for him. Ujio doesn't care about politeness to this man, and believes he deserves none of it. He's a savage outsider, who doesn't know their ways, is defeated, captured, and by their warrior tradition, has no honor. So when given the excuse to fight him into submission for having a "weapon," Ujio nearly beats the life out of him. The whole village watches, their mask of politeness melting away as they stand and witness this spectacle of punishment; a punishment that inside, they all want to see. In the same breath, Algren does not fear death (not for honor, but because he doesn't feel he deserves to live after all he has done), and subsequently (inadvertently) displays a spirit unbreakable by Ujio's beating, which is the first time he shows he mustn't be underestimated by the village as a true warrior. The display shows he may deserve some of the respect that, until now, they've been showing only because it was decreed by their leader.

En esta película nombran a los "300 Espartanos"creo que deberían reaccionar a esa película ,saludos y muy buenas vibras

You two are by far one of the more intelligent reactors on YT.

Me encantan sus reacciones, ¿Podrían mirar "Enemy at the Gates"?

57:11 Algren didn’t commit murder when he dispatched Taka’s husband in combat. Murder is taking someone’s life for no reason or outside of the context of self defense. They were soldiers on a battlefield and it was Algren or the other man. Taka felt the loss of her husband to be sure. But she didn’t see Algren as a murderer. Also you have to remember Algren also risk his own life to defend her life, her brothers life and her children when the assassins came to kill them. In their culture he did a great thing and became a friend…almost family.

You often don't appreciate what you have until it is gone

It’s the 1870’s that kid was not surviving that bullet wound. Plus, in that culture it was honorable to die in battle and he probably thought it would be better for him to die now than retreat and possibly die from his wounds.

Great reaction. No unnecessary pausing, constant talking over the movie or shallow remarks about another culture. Really enjoyed your insight into the movie and the characters. Keep up the good work.

Werry good reaction 😊

Jolly Good reaction :-) You're good people and understand the honour and redemption. I like the low key love story a lot too.

Not sure if this has been said before. Katsumoto cut off the Generals head to ease his pain.

The general killed himself in the beginning for the dishonor of losing a battle, not being a traitor.

Thanks for this reaction. It's my favorite Tom Cruise movie

12:30 he was committing ritual suicide rather than be a captive, involving a painful disemboweling abdomen cut, if he did it bravely the decapitation was a mercy stroke~

This movie is fiction but is inspired by real events... they added an "american captain" because Hollywood... but that's how we can witness this story, through his eyes, so I think it's ok. The character Katsumoto is based on a samurai called Saigo, his rebellion was known as the Satsuma Rebellion and the last battle where they all died was the Battle of Shiroyama. This battle was pretty much like in the movie, 500 samurai against the Imperial Army, the difference was 60 to 1. First there was a huge combat, a big massacre, and finally the last charge of the remaining 40 samurai who ended up dying under a rain of bullets. This was the end of the samurai and people start calling Saigo "The Last Samurai". Really great movie, in my opinion this is the best Tom Cruise film. P. S. There is a band called Sabaton they have a song about this historical events, the song is called "Shiroyama", maybe if you're interested you can listen to it.

Very good reaction, thank you. As much as you like this film you should watch "Dances with Wolves" Also "Glory." Both are set around the same time, civil war. Both films are about how different people come together like in "The Last Samurai." "Glory" is also based on a true story.

The dude who stabs himself and gets beheaded near the start wasn't killed like that for being a traitor. Seppuku was a form of ritual suicide, an honourable way to die. By allowing him to die in this way, they're honouring that he's samurai (though if he's going against the emperor, technically he's not anymore, samurai means to serve, but that's just the weeb in me being pedantic I guess xD) They could have killed him like any other soldier on the field, but they let him go out with dignity. I always loved how it was shot too, panning behind the tree and the reveal his head's gone as the camera comes round the other side. It's our first hint that there's more to the samurai than mere "savages" as advertised :)

Bravo.

Well, Achilles did have children. Who knows how many? With the princess he was supposed to marry, his lover Briseis, and his female servants.

They executed the ex Samurai at the end of the first battle because it was tradition in Japanese culture for one to kill themselves after a loss to keep their "honor" intact. The Japanese have a very different model of "honor" than we do. and is the reason why they committed so many atrocious actions in ww2. For them surrender was unthinkable and thus surrendered American soldiers who surrended to the Japanese were treated as insects. and thus executing surrendered soldiers was considered normal as surrendered men had no honor according to them. On the other hand, having mercy on prisoners is considered an honourable act for Europeans.

Where is.... Sardar udham.... Movie?

In Japan samurai would commit ritual suicide as a way to restore honour. The samurai would be decapitated as a sign of mercy.

Lmao killing the general cause he was a traitor when actually it was a great honor

[sad] That is the one mistake the Japanese made by not allowing the American Embassy, as history played out. They let the Samurai survive until the "Little Boy" and the "Fat Man" visited Japan. That Boy and Man truly ended the Samurai.

Nathan Algren feels incredibly guilty and distraught for taking orders from Colonel Bagley in participating in the slaughtering of those innocent defenseless Native American villagers; both men, women, and children and old and young, who had nothing to do with the raid. He became angry, drunk, hateful, and bitter towards himself and others, and he is haunted by the horrible past mistake that he committed which he never forgave himself. He wished to die in battle because he doesn't want to live and be haunted and tormented by his horrible past mistakes. The Samurais spared him and took him as their prisoner under Katsumoto's order, because he saw Nathan holding the flagpole of the white tiger and fighting weakly against the samurais surrounding him, symbolizing that Nathan is the white tiger in his dream. Living with the samurais and learning through their skills, philosophies, and wisdom, Nathan's spiritual and psychological wounds were healed, he accepted his horrible past mistake, and forgave himself for what he had done. This result turned Nathan into a samurai and helped them to fight against the army.

No

This film is definitely not accurate in its portrayal of the samurai and the army, but it’s still a very good movie. I prefer how they depict the samurai, but in reality they were the bad guys, like when they all rode into town, all the people were scared and stepped out of the way. That’s because samurai would not hesitate to kill a “peasant” if they offended them or were in their way. In their society, warriors were at the top, and so they would lose all their power and status if the warlords were gone. So they rebelled, but not all samurai, as there were many who fought on the side of the emperor and wanted an end to constant conflict and many samurai adapted quite well into the Meiji era. It’s really cool history but yeah, the rebel samurai were not the good guys lol and samurai used firearms for 200 years by this point in the movie, so they did have guns and use them, they had cannons too.

Another plus of making great, historically inaccurate movies like The Last Samurai, Braveheart, Last Of The Mohicans, Hidalgo, Gladiator, 300, and many others: They get people to check into the real events and learn some things they otherwise wouldn't have.
