I don't understand your comment, it's like you're saying it is the best performance of Tom Cruise but all your arguments are about other qualities of the movie and not the performance of Tom Cruise. Btw, watch Magnolia. In Magnolia Tom Cruise plays a way more difficult and original character than in the Last Samuraï (which is a quite easy and predictable character, the character of Katsumoto is much more profound and interesting).

Went to see Hans Zimmer live in Manchester, and The Last Samurai is one of my favourite films. Hans even said "Here's one of my favourites" and then this started playing. Almost punched my brother in the face next to me I couldn't believe it was actually happening! This was one of the first films my Dad showed me like "I think you're old enough to watch this now." We got tickets for my birthday but unfortunately my Dad passed away from cancer a week later and then Covid happened so had to wait 2 years. The music just reverberated through me, I think I cried all the way through. Thanks for first showing me this Dad, I miss you.

It's about preservation of culture, not to replace one with another. Japan was going through their own revolution by taking in western values which conflicted with Japanese/Shinto values. The Japanese were made weaker by accepting the new western system but became financially more independent, however there is more depression now. People are looking to the old ways to reconnect with their "Way of Life". Money is not everything...in fact, it's nothing, it's made up, it's bullshit.

@metalmadness5851

Жыл бұрын

@@Jameslawz The reason for the "Westernization" of Japan in those days was because Japan had been isolated for nearly 200 years, not allowing any contact with the outside world, only to be shocked when American ironclad warships rolled up and demanded trade (not a proud moment in US history.) Shocked by this display of power, the Japanese government raced to figure out how not to get conquered both economically and militarily, like China had been in by the UK. The path they chose was to abandon their systems of government and cultural heritage to "Westernize" as fast as possible. By imitating the West, it was hoped that they would copy what had made the West so powerful. It wasn't long, however, before the typical infighting and grudge wars began occurring. One of the first targets was the Samurai. Samurai were, by tradition, the only "legally allowed" soldiers in Japan. They were not allowed, by law, to take up other trades, as their duty was to always be there as soldiers when needed by the Emperor and Shogunate (until the Shogunate was disbanded). The only other duty they had was to manage the land they owned, for the Emperor. This way of life was shattered when the Imperial Government swiftly changed both aspect of society. Now the Samurai were no longer the warrior-class they had been, since now anyone could join the military. Then in an attempt to reform land ownership laws, all of the Samurai's holdings were confiscated to be redistributed at the government's discretion. In a short amount of time, the Samurai had lost everything they had. They were no longer the defenders of Japan, now anyone could be, and they were no longer the land owners, now anyone could be. The Western nations being used as a template for Japan's reform had no warrior-class, thus there wasn't anywhere for the Samurai to fit into the nation that was being built. Remember, these Samurai had been raised for their entire lives for generations to be what they were. Then came the laws that took away what little the Samurai had left. Katana could no longer be carried in public, so now the Samurai couldn't even bear the symbol of their profession and their entire family's honor and heritage, and top-knots were forbidden. The top-knot hairstyle was again, a symbol of their office, and could carry a death penalty for losing, since it meant loss in battle. With everything taken away from them, including the only things that could have given them a place in the new regime, the Samurai revolted. Keep in mind, as a permanent warrior-class, this was all they could do. And so rebellions sparked across the land. The Last Samurai is an idealized and romantic view of this era, leaning more on the honor and lifestyle than the politics and systems of power. But the message it carries is a truly important one; that who we are and what we do is just as important as anything else. Katsumoto reluctantly fights, not to preserve is own power, but to save Japan from what he sees as a "conquest by culture" that his land is losing. He's not fighting for himself, but for Japan itself. The message, as I see it, is what I posted above. Times change, people change, nations change; but that doesn't mean that we should forget or erase where we come from. The Samurai in the film were abandoned by their nation without care, and forced to rebel since it was the only path they could see before them. But through their rebellion and in how they died, they forced Japan and the Emperor to remember them, not simply as warlords and killers, but as what they had been created for; defenders of king and country. Japan needed to evolve to survive, but that didn't mean they should abandon their own people and culture in such a careless manner.

I am trained in the way of the sword and have several blades that are hundreds of years old. There is something about the intricacy, strength and beauty of these blades that resonates within me.

“Spring, 1877. This marks the longest I've stayed in one place since I left the farm at 17. There is so much here I will never understand. I've never been a church going man, and what I've seen on the field of battle has led me to question God's purpose. But there is indeed... something spiritual in this place. And though it may forever be obscure to me, I cannot but be aware of its power. I do know that it is here that I've known my first untroubled sleep in many years.” Putting Zimmer’s music to this scene was so brilliant and creates so much inward reflection.❤️

Many of us waste decades in the pursuit of our own ends, yet there may come a moment in which we might realise that we are merely satisfying our own ego, ignorant of others and greedy. Then perhaps moments of revelatory experience like this come. If we fight such moments we are doomed to end by our selfish ways, but if we learn to change by said moments then we can share our self-discovery with others and end our lives far better than we began.

Some say that he died of his wounds. Others, that he returned to his own country. But I like to think he may have at last found some small measure of peace, that we all seek, and few of us ever find...

Somehow, I always seem to return to this music and that movie. Perhaps Cruise's best performance ever.

It is rare that any film should encapsulate it’s era so well, without regard to modern norms or expectations. The acting, across the board, is top notch, the cinematography fantastic, the direction perfectly pitched and paced. What I think sets this movie apart from so many is it’s ability to capture transitions - from western to eastern philosophy, from enemy to friend, from hatred to love. For me, the scene where Taka dresses Algren in her dead husbands armour is poignant, neither over sentimental nor too trite. Pathos given life in cinema. Her fears writ large, his stoicism, their shared courage and acceptance are a delight. The most sensual thing I have seen in a Hollywood production. Authentic portrayal/Her hand armouring his soul/Protecting future hopes.

This movie is anything but historical. Katsumoto doesn't use fire arm because it would be dishonorable? Any samurai worth his salt got a fire arm as soon as they were introduced to Japan. Do you know why the real life counterpart to Katsumoto didn't use firearms at he end of his rebelion? Because he was out of ammo after months of war.

One of the most epic soundtracks out there.

Absolutely correct and very good observation!

This movie, this film is an absolute masterpiece. I know some people are bound to disagree, pointing out the unlikelihood of the only westerner who happened to survive the Samurai's last battle and assume the mantle of the "Last Samurai" - to them I say: You are MISSING the point. The story might be convoluted, even a tad cheesy on occasion, but that's not what the picture is about. The astonishing allegories to our inner deamons and the long, challenging journey to find peace from within, THAT is the point! Add in the unique poetic vision portrayed and the underlying, powerful score by this generation's most gifted film composer and you will understand how this movie goes BEYOND its value on paper. Appreciated the little things and the beauty that surrounds us. THAT is what the Last Samurai has taught me.

Convoluted? It is historically inaccurate. The actual battle was not a bunch of Samurai suicidally attacking a regiment with machine guns. It was far closer to the Alamo, being fought from a castle. And no, there were NO Americans involved.

Best movie soundtrack to this day. Hans Zimmer's most underrated soundtrack as well. Many will say interstellar or inception but this is beyond phenomenal. More so his other pieces tend to sound the same while this felt more expressive and unique. It well represents the words "The Last Samurai".
