He doesn't even flinch when they swing the sword at his throat

[@Ricochet845]

One of my top 3 fav movies of all time. Shows what Honor, loyalty, and devotion really are.

[@deanfirnatine7814]

One of the most beautiful movies ever made, a masterpiece.

The Emperor: "Tell me how he (Katsumoto) died." Nathan Algren: "I will tell you how he lived."

Tom Cruise has made so many blockbuster movies that made remarkable amounts of money for Hollywood, but most of them lack any real substance. In the final analysis, most of them are stereotypical Hollywood "action" movies, filled with explosions, car chases, and gun play. In contrast, "The Last Samurai" actually introduced mid19th Century Japanese culture to an English-speaking audience and did so in a very sympathetic manner -- even if it mangled a lot of Japan's actual early modern history. It is a fair representation of what was good and honorable about samurai culture in a Japan on the cusp of embracing Western modernity.

Tom gifted Ken Watanabe his horse. My buddy is friends with Ken. His horse lived out a good life in the plains Of Gunma Prefecture. Tom was so deeply impacted by filming The Last Samurai he kinda went off the rails after it.

best movies of Tom Cruise

[@TheGrungeChild]

This was filmed in Taranaki New Zealand, the army training is at Pukekura park New Plymouth.. gosh did the rents go up because of all the extras in town.. everything was busy. Billy Connolly roamed freely. Tom flew around in a chopper with a local.. the actors were friendly and social..it was a wonderful time before the internet took over and COVID. Come visit you will be welcome wherever you come from.

US recap, "the movie starts with the voice of Katsumoto", no it's the voice of the photographer & translator in the movie "Simon Graham" played by Timothy Spall. and if you're incorrect on the very first line you say in the video there is no point watching it any further.

[@john-Mustang-wick]

A good film

No F’s Left To Give. Before it was a thing.

He doesn't even flinch when they swing the sword at his throat because he knows that this is only a film, if he dies the whole profit will be gone and they are not here in the flinching business they are here to earn money and this goes to everyone in the movie.

So he’s the reason for Pearl Harbor…

[@jathawk101]

He didn’t flinch because it’s a movie not real life. 😂😂

[@beentheredonethat5908]

He has ptsd and it was a time of brutal warfare and cruel actions from all sides. Tgere are stories of many men during that time, women as well, who welcomed death, especially a quick death when captured. It was the worst fear of any solider to get captured, it's 100 percent believe able, especially with ptsd and survivors guilt, as well as being an alcoholic who wasn't completely in reality.

[@gregmyrland2515]

To me this movie is right up there with Dances with Wolves. It gradually becomes more about Katsumoto than the soldiers point of view. And the viewer sympathizes with the Samurai culture that is waning and hates the imperialist bad guys from both governments. The woke may call it a white savior movie, but it hearkens back to an earlier time when many of the best great movie stories were made. Todays superhero and female hero movies are so lame in comparison.
