The_Last_Samurai

The Last Samurai So…Tom Cruise blew our minds in Vanilla Sky, but can he do it again wearing a kimono' “The Last Samurai” was one of the most accurate films depicting the ancient traditions of Japanese Samurai. It was astonishing to see such a film finally shown in English that was not poorly dubbed. Director Edward D. Zwick, who is better known for his past films “Legends of the Fall” and “Glory” just added another hit historical film to his resume. The actors in this film were so thorough, that many people stated that they felt an inner connection with them and their ongoing battles. The film begins by introducing us into the world of Nathan Algren, a Civil War hero, played by Tom Cruise (Minority Report, Mission Impossible II). Through his title, he finds work in Japan teaching non-Samurai how to fight effectively in war against their Samurai counterparts. Algren is then captured by Katsumoto, a Samurai, played by Ken Watanabe and learns about their many traditions and beliefs. Algren’s past is disruptive, showing the viewers images of battles and murders against Native Americans.
