“Tell me how he died?” “I will tell you how he lived.”😢 Kills me every time, this is a phenomenal movie.👍

I've never liked that line. Katsumoto was the emperor's teacher since childhood and closest advisor, he already knew how he lived. He asked about how he died.

@@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]

@@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.

[@johnwilson5743]

@@CrazeeAdam Note: The Lord of the Rings trilogy and The Last Samurai were all filmed in New Zealand. A number of locals, including my friends, would bump into Tom Cruise out shopping. One time he actually stopped to help a car that had broken down on the side of the road. He was a great guy. The Mountain that "stood in" for Mt Fuji and looked exactly the same, was Mt Taranaki.

According to the few records of ninja assassinations, they were usually sent as large groups rather than a single guy. So this movie does a more accurate portrayal of a ninja attack.

[@BarryHart-xo1oy]

That’s really impressive.

[@BadassRaiden]

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]

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

[@Spencer_Beard]

I cried the first few times I watched this film, very emotional movie, I felt so sorry for Katsumoto and the death of the samurai way of life

[@666johnco]

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.

[@John-ir4id]

I mean, there are worse reasons to quit than being made to attack people - civilians, no less - who wanted nothing to do with the fight to begin with.

[@666johnco]

@@John-ir4id At Sand Creek there were two company commanders who refused to attack the Cheyenne camp when Chivington ordered it, holding their companies back, . Algren may regret he didn't just hold back as well. I don't know if you ever saw the 1970's mini series Centennial but there is a altered version of that battle in it. Arapaho substitued for Cheyenne.

Also that apology scene with Taka and Algren is so powerful. You just wouldn't see that in real life. A warrior apologising to the wife of the man he slew, is practically unheard of. The only closest thing I can think of is the Illidad with King Priam and Achilles lol.

[@BadassRaiden]

The scene in the beginning where Hiro feigns chopping Tom Cruise's head off and lightly cuts his neck - that was real for anyone wondering. That was a real sword, really cutting his neck. Later on during the big battle, Tom and Hiro were on mechanical horses when Hiro's malfunctioned and veered into Tom's. The resulting collision almost saw Tom's head removed from his body.

[@chriscorvin5077]

People always forgt this, but during Algren fighting with the kid scene in the rain. There's a reason Ujio(Hiroyuki Sanada) was upset. In the way they train each strike is meant to be a life and death blow like real life, and grabbing the wooden sword with his hand just wouldn't happen. Yet Algren kept doing it again and again which worsened his punishment.

[@clevelandcbi]

Damn. That's a TERRIFIC point. 👍👍

[@anitelufalemei4200]

That’s a bit of a reach. Him “grabbing” the wooden sword shows and implies his experience as a warrior and the western style of fighting. Not that he’s a bad fighter. But just Sanada is the better fighter with the sword. Which is why he got his azz whooped.

There was a theatrical trailer for this film that I still can’t find. Saw it on the opening night of Freddy Vs Jason. It went, like.. “Epic words (feet of samurai armor shows). Epic words (camera starts panning up the leg armor). Epic words (torso armor shown as the camera continues to pan up). Epic words (panning up to almost show who is wearing the armor). Epic words.. musical stab.. TOM CRUISE.” The theater laughed uproariously for two solid minutes. 😂

[@popcornthemagictalkingcat7996]

It took me several viewings to figure out the betting on the mock battle. Every other reactor also did the same thing which was we all instinctively counted the number of hits & sounds, but I think when you're defending, it counts as the opponents move and not your own. the Boku-To or wooden practice swords are made of heavy hardwood, my brother has one and they might as well be made out of metal coz it's so dense & heavy. so when Cruise gets whacked in the head, it was enough to crack a skull. "Make you wear a dress" line😂 the clothing actually has the leg parts and splits in the middle, so think of it as mega parachute pants. Great reactions👍👍 I'd like to see more "first time watching" for Mr. Movie.

Just because you mentioned Top Gun, one hidden gem that no one seems to have done is the movie Final Countdown. It was made in 1980 before Top Gun showing off the F14 Tomcat.

It's amazing how Emperor Meiji could pull Japan from Feodal age into Industrial age in just 20 or so years. Japanese history is so fascinating. Even when Japanese warlord's were fighting who was ruling over Japan, nobody threatened Emperor or bloodline, even Emperor was mostly a puppet for Shogun. But all that and Meiji restoration is highly fascinating. And if someone wants fast re-cap of true event's this film's final battle is based on, I recommend Sabaton's song: Shiroyama.

Learning the language of the local people means having respect for them and their way of life. Only these people, with a clear understanding of the way of life and their concept of honor and decency, manage to pull him out of the swamp of alcoholism and dishonor that made him a dishonorable murderer. The Colonel has no problem with having no decency and no honor anywhere in the world. An excellent film with excellent actors and the music by H. Zimmer that unfolds its own magic.

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."

Although its called "The Last Samurai", I think more than Nathan survived that battle though injured, mostly from their infantry. But it was the end of an age the culture was still revered and figured into WWI and WWII.

[@markhamstra1083]

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.

Funny, cause I’m about a minute into the intro and I could kiss him for pointing out that Tom isn’t the last samurai. And THEN, she reiterates his point by flubbing the plural of “samurai” by putting an “S” on the end. ROTFL! It seems like so many people don’t know that “samurai” is both the singular and the plural spelling. ‘I am (a) samurai’ ‘We are samurai’
