"The Last Samurai" - Soundtrack Suite (Hans Zimmer) HD 

Me.....

I am, daily, I practice Tai Chi Walking with this music

Me too...

Это можно слушать вечно.

Siempre escucho este tema, es bellísimo,

"Perfect... They are all... perfect."

I feel like this about a man - just not brave enough to tell him!

@@shawroberts5149 Go for it, it's better to try and fail than not trying. Also you can try and succeed

Uh, I think it would have been a wasted life.

Love that ! To a certain extent always, if it’s not in any extremes , I agree and relate!

Totally agree!!!

@@haklaz352 maybe the best of Hans Zimmer

It's definitely one of his most underrated, along with King Arthur, Dunkirk, and Dark Phoenix. One very few choose when listing his best work; often always opting instead for the usual suspects such as Inception, Interstellar, Gladiator, Lion King, Dark Knight etc.... Which are all Masterpieces as well; not denigrating anything this musical genius touches

ok ok I agree

I agree😁

It's time again

@@terancegovender4414 no doubt

Annnnd again :-)

Today is the day :D

You’re welcome:)

Still here man

Ever

I am.

*Listens to the entire soundtrack* "Perfect.... they are all, perfect"

+Achillez -- you have epic expectations. I wonder: which movie soundtracks would you designate as extraordinary?

This soundtrack is beautiful. A small measure of peace brings so many emotions to my mind.

Few.

Agreed

I STRONGLY AGREE 😀💯

Perfect, they are all perfect

Definitely up there among his top films (in terms of acting and even stunts)

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).

Thank you for the sharing ♥️

The end of the poem is difficult to finish...

perpect....

fantastic film it's my favourite sorry if my english was bad

@@volpez5221 The movie was incredible, a thrilling roller coaster of emotions from its inception to its crescendo. A wonderful masterpiece. Sorry for my bad English.

He does not say No for you never say no to the Emperor. Just "I'll tell you how he lived".

He was a truly man of honor, he saw value in his enemy & made him his ally. Do we see value in our enemies?

@@otiliaayala8725 Right ,welcome to ISLAM.

The Best moment in the film

* "I prefer to tell you how he lived"

This song is still one of my favourite.

Jolly good!

​@@ronnysengers8381ppp

I wouldn't say it's the only one but yes I agree it's a masterpeice.

truly a masterpiece its got a lot of emotions, from music through art and acting

maybe too cliché and innacurate, but as a film, yeah its fuckin great

what about the fact that it is a White Guilt fantasy plot? a white guy becomes the best samurai, and marries the wife of the japanese guy he kills. seriously? same as pocahontas and avatar. the plot is a shallow embarassing colonist fantasy

@@gamertechkid1490 you're talking non-sense; i dont know wich ethnic group you are, are angelic ? Dont you have guilt to deal with ?

Hard to believe that Timothy Spall, who played Graham, also played Peter Pedigrew on Harry Potter.

@@ColonelMarcellus Why, you can clearly tell by his face :D Or do mean because of his character?

@@maggifixx1336 I can read the credits of both movies. Hard to believe, isn't it? Good makeup and better acting by Mr. Spall.

Beautifully delivered. Gotta love Spall.

That part had me thinking. He must've found peace from his nightmare past and moved on with life in peace.

If it wouldn't be underrated, then everybody would love this movie. And you know, if everyone loves one thing, then it can't be good ;)

@@TheSoprah I don't think it's underrated, it just came out in a year with very good movies. LOTR return of the king stole the show.

@@Milan-mh4nc i dont realy think its underrated , its just a good movie to watch

He almost won an Oscar for this I think. Shows that the movie was definitely appreciated at its time.

I don't think you really know what the term underrated means...I've been noticing this recently...

Dude, I hear ya. It's so tastefully done. There is never a cringey scene.....no cheesy love scene, just pure elegance at its finest. This movie should have made a billion at the box office.

Le

Me too..watched it last night

Literally could watch it over and over and not get tired of it. You have great taste my friend

The movie itself feels like samurai, truly a master piece. I wish the world would live more by the samurai code.

Couldn't agree more

Agreed. But do not overlook the brilliance of director, Edward Zwick. He has never won an Academy Award despite making some of the best films of our generation. The Last Samurai not only had Cruise but a perfect cast, perfect photography, perfect editing, and of course, this brilliant score.

One could say he's top gun!

He's definitely brilliant

He chooses his movies well ..good movies

Along with Oblivion!

@@GarfieldRex And Master and commander.

it's not underrated. It's very highly praised by the critics. It didn't get Oscars, but let's be honest: who cares about that to begin with, except maybe actors.

He is the BEST composer ever lived...respect for beethoven and all those classics but they come nowhere near Hans Zimmer! Hans is on a whole other level. He knows how to reach peoples hearts. This man made me the person who I am today. I grew up listening to his music while all my friends were listening to techno and all that shit. This is music at it's finest. That is what music is all about. Music doesn't have to have lyrics to tell a story.

Same here. That man is a genius.

ug reyo FOG yep

I also didn't know that this brilliant masterpiece was also done by Hans Zimmer.

He is a great composer. I been a fan since his days with Miami Vice. Listen to Crimson Tide's soundtrack; it is fantastic.

I cried at that line 😭😭😭

"They are all perfect". Its like just before passing he realized nature does not make mistakes.

I literally cried with this scene. Especially when the captain offered the Emperor his life, by taking it with the Emperor’s consent. That is a true Samurai!

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.

@@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 rally enjoyed your comment

Don't search for the perfect cherry blossom....they are all PERFECT!!!

Dwayne Deveaux I will tell you how he lived... meaning Tom Cruise will never let Katsumoto or what he taught the Captain fade into the changing world. Powerful.

Batman Begins but only a short role, he is also in inception, but not as a samurai :(

No person thought that apart from you. Mnemonic irrelevance my good man.

Actually I did on my first watching honestly.

Go and see Japan how they destroyed that legacy now, fucking idots, Katsumoto died for nothing.

@@oguzhankara7085 lmao , u seem pissed 😂

So touching!

The best kind of music, I can't be convinced otherwise.

I am moved to tears atm just listening to the soundtrack. Want to have this played at my funeral lol it touches my heart too..

accurate

"Dead to the last man."

@@Ferruccio_Guicciardi I stand corrected

Katsuomoto: Fuck yeah.....

@Toker Smoker Do not belive it. It is like this in movies only. In real life people are all terrified of death. Its how they face it that matters.

@Toker Smoker It is true what you say to a degree, so many of us end up doing something to just get by in life, something that never brings true fulfillment.

Yes.

So many parts of this movie break me down..

This film is an epic masterpiece. They don't make movie's like this anymore....Braveheart, Gladiator, Apocalypto....now all we have is stupid Marvel/DC super hero movies which I simply cannot stand.

@@CJTranceAddiction Braveheart and Gladiator favorite top 5.

well, yakuza carry out the bloodline and tradition now. not sure if thats a positive or negative

it would've been a masterpiece if Tom Cruzes character died

...I think she reflected a real characteristic of the Japanese women !...I love them !!

Love to see him do some of this live Ben

Just about brought me to tears

Absolutely

@@yorkshirebanktramp7879 I had the privilege yesterday when I watched Hans Zimmer conduct his orchestra with this song. It was amazing!

As a Cubs fan, this music always makes me think of the 2003 Steve Bartman game. The music starts out with such hope and if fits as the Cubs were just 5 outs from the World Series. And then a fan of all things robbed the Cubs of their momentum and the Marlins all of a sudden put up a ton of runs that inning and win the game. That hope to heartbreak fits so well with this music

This is one of the key ideas of the film!

Do you study japaneses to create this comment , too ?

Really?? Where did you read that?

Happy New Year!!!

Happy 2021, watched the movie yesterday.

Although he is also brilliant in "The 4th of July".

This movie could have been made with any one of a dozen lead actors and it would still have been awesome. It is not Cruise that made the movie.....although his 'bankability' got it financed and thus made it possible. But this is pure Edward Zwick fimmaking. He is an artiste.

@@markmacinnis4398 you can say that about so many movies. You are right of course, but Cruise's great performance and amount of effort he put to train himself for it should be recognized and praised nevertheless.

for you yes !!! but for others maybe not ;) !

@Insidious Sid If you want to be more like "Tom" then eat more fresh placentas and have regular stress tests to keep an eye on your thetan levels.

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.

the church is the mens who tell us of jesus or spirituals kinds or minds and not a batiment or a story

I love this, his journey in this movie is incredible, but it did not start at this monologue. It starts here. “July 12 1926, There is some., comfort in the ‘emptiness’ of the sea, No past, no future. And then at once, I am confronted by the harsh truth of present circumstances. I have been hired to suppress the rebellion of yet another tribal leader., Perhaps this is ‘the only’ job for which I am suited. ‘I am ‘beset’ by the ironies’ of my life”

@@RobertLocksley385 Adam, that's one of the most profound things I've read in a RU-vid comments section. Beautifully stated.

That’s awesome man keep those in your family

I want to own one some day. Just looking at pictures of the old swords, you can feel the soul, within the blade. Maybe in another life, many of us were samurai. So much beauty and craftsmanship.

@@gandalfthegunman I have same opinion with you.BY🌌野沢宗雄

No other movie makes me feel the way this one does

DIAbycmgm The sword quote! Just beautiful! Thanks.

Goosebumps when I see the sword scene ! Very underrated movie !

the sword quote: 今古有神奉志士

i don't really understand what that quote means, can someone explain that?

@@juleha1 it means something like, the warrior, (tom cruise) that is a american, with, really different ways of the ancient japaneses, have learned their ways, discipline, honor (things considered "old ways) have joined his actions... something like that... ya'know? its philosophical...

can confirm, it was perfectly crafted to build emotion all along the movie so you can finally burst in tears at the end of the movie. Not gonna lie I enjoyed crying like a baby

Every time I watch this movie I end up in tears 😭. It is such an emotional movie.

two of my favorite movies

Hans zimmer is truly an artist of john willams/barry proportions

He's a genius like the two Johns 🤩

I practice Kendo with this and is so relax.

yes! i can imagine....the music is teriific. i love it...Namaste

Where is the Japanese music then? I think it is a complete miss match. If you want a real well done soundtrack for a Japanese setting, check the soundtrack of the game Shogun 2 Total War.

and .. samurais were slaves to the empror often betraying each other for money ... they were just warriors.

@@sergezerkin More slaves to the 300 feudal lords under the Tokugawa Shogunate than the emperor. The samurai class had a long downfall starting in the early 1800s as the merchant class started to take off, despite the harsh limits imposed by the bakufu.
