@@Unpainted_HuffhinesHow would the Emperor know how he lived when all he ever saw of him was when he came to be his teacher? The emperor never experienced what it was like to train like a samurai or live the life of a Samurai and in any case to tell the emperor how he died would defy how he wanted to be remembered and that was as a brave, strong, and loyal Samurai that loved his land and loved his emperor.

@Unpainted_Huffhines 5 дней назад

@@DG-nk7jo Considering the samurai class as a whole were his servants who deified him for his whole life, I'd bet he was pretty familiar with their customs, traditions and way of life. Telling him the manner in which he died, with honor on the field of Battle in the name of his Emperor, would've expressed his bravery, loyalty, courage, and devotion quite well, which is probably the Emperor asked about it.

Nobutada was my favorite samurai. Katsumoto's son never held any hatred or ill will towards Algren. When he learns that Algren can speak some Japanese, he gets so excited like a little kid. His death scene where they share a look, no words need be spoken, yet they said everything that needed to be said, always gets me. This is one of my all time favorite movies.

Actually Mrs. Movies, Algren is correct. "Bob's" job is to ensure that the others don't decide to kill or attack Algren because he's the enemy. They aren't concerned nor worried in the least about Algren escaping. Given their geographical location, there's no where he can go and survive the coming winter.

@BadassRaiden 10 дней назад

Also want to point out Katsumoto's death scene. As he dies, and sees the cherry blossoms, he remarks, "perfect, they are all perfect." If you'll notice, he has this looks of acknowledgement or realization. The moment is not only a callback to the earlier scene, but his dialogue is a callback to the dialogue then as well. He says previously, "You may spend your whole life looking for the perfect blossom and it would not be a wasted life" or something to that effect. His words when he dies, and subsequently the look on his face, has to do with the fact that when he dies, when all of us die, we realize that they were all perfect to begin with. The quest to find the perfect one was an attachment to the physical world, and the realization that they were always perfect isn't a sorrowful one, as it is not meant as a "they were all perfect all along so it actually was a wasted quest." Rather, it's meant as a final acceptance of peace and a goodbye to the physical world. To search for the perfect blossom is to not be at peace with the world. It is to be at odds with most of it, as one believes there is the perfect blossom out there, while the rest are imperfect. To realize that they are all perfect is to finally be at peace, and allow oneself in that moment to fully let go of the world.

@CanadaDan 9 дней назад

The Japanese culture has always been fascinating. Not sure if you notice when Algren arrived in Japan, the "rat" said he usually translates their lies or something like that. When Taka tells Katsumoto to get Algren out of her house Katsumoto tells Algren that Taka is honored to have him as her guest. That's how they are, they don't translate what they really mean because they are so polite n respectful towards others even if they really despised them, it's a cultural thing, very disciplined though, incredibly. Definitely my favorite Tom Cruise movie. I'm a big fan of Ken Watanabe and Hiroyuki Sanada

The battle that Algren's flashing back too is the battle of the Washita river. The one where George Custer led the 7th Cavalry in an attack on a Cheyenne camp on November 27th 1868. The Cheyenne in ? were not involved in the war which was mainly being fought with the Sioux. at the time Their leader Black Kettle, who was killed, had already survived the infamous Sand Creek massacre in 1864. This would be why Algren quit the army.

By killing Hirotori in FAIR combat, Algren is essentially granted his standing. It's an ancient type of custom I've seen used in only two other mediums (although I'm certain there are others). One is the series Vikings, where the winner of a duel gains the opponents belongings, standing, and even their family. By default the winner becomes responsible for the loser's rights and duties. The other media is Chronicles of Riddick: where the Necromongers' faith is "You keep what you kill."

@markhamstra1083 10 дней назад

Yeah, not really. The Samurai and their culture during the Meiji era that this film supposedly portrays were very different from what is shown in the movie. What the movie gives us is not anything close to a realistic historical portrayal, but rather something that it more in line with the romanticized notions of what it meant to be Samurai, notions that were invented mostly in the 20th century and that became part of the fascist “myth of the nation” promoted in pre-1945 Shōwa Japan. What you are being fed in the movie is a romantic myth of the end of the historical Samurai and the rise of a new Japan that is still built on respect for these mythic warriors. It is a movie that the Japanese leaders who took Japan into the Asian Pacific War would have greatly admired as excellent propaganda.

@donovanbradford8231 11 дней назад

So if my memory serves that in real life after the rebellion this film is based off of while yes the samurai were defeated and outright gone, they were not forgotten as the emperor did instruct that the military would still keep bushido the samurai code of honor that would last well into the 20th century if not today.

For some reason people always think the Last Samurai is Tom Cruise 😂

Historically, I have a love hate relationship with tom cruise movies but this one is one of my guilty pleasure watches... I am a big history buff and the way they did the character arc was nailed right on the head. Most samurai were held in very high honor but to outsiders, they were savages and nothing more. The way they took him in and then exposed him to their way of life and how much it changed him for the better, its a real testament to why the samurai had the right idea for how to cultivate a society. The only reason why they fell was because they preferred honor and sacrifice over evolving with modern times. They could not compete with modern firearms. Its no different than native americans. They chose the primative weapons over modern stuff which led to them being ran over for "progress". Kinda a sad part of history but also why I love these sort of movies. Really makes you wish that you could have seen it first hand and how much different life was 100+ years ago.

This is pure Samurai myth, largely invented in the 20th century. It is very far from the historical reality of the Samurai in Meiji Japan.

This movie clearly shows the remorse over the loss of the Samurai. all over the world this has happened. that fact makes me sad, even though I am sure we have romanticized the cultures we've lost this way.

You all should watch Collateral. Tom is amazing in a villainous role.

The friggin' drama of "Big bucking fly" and then she just totally eye-rolls it away. Didn't happen.

I remember when this was Dances with Wolves, great movie. And this also the plot of Avatar as well, very similar story lines, but I don’t mind different versions of similar tales

The title of the movie can have 2 meanings. Samurai can be used as a plural. So instead of Algren being the last Samurai, the title could pertain to all of the Samurai in the film.
