"Set in the late 1870s, this epic film depicts the beginnings of the modernization of Japan, as the island nation evolved past a feudal society, as symbolized by the eradication of the samurai way of life. We see all this happen from the point of view of an alcoholic Civil War veteran turned Winchester guns spokesman, Captain Woodrow Algren (Cruise), who arrives in Japan to train the troops of the emperor, Meiji, as part of a break away from the long-held tradition of relying on employed samurai warriors to protect territories, as the emperor's new army prepares to wipe out the remaining samurai warriors. When Algren is injured in combat and captured by the samurai, he learns about their warrior honor code from their leader, Katsumoto, which forces him to decide which side of the conflict he actually wants to be on"
I know it is fairly new but I was finally able to see it for the first time last weekend. All I can say is Wow! Great film. If you haven't had a chance to see it yet go while you still can.
I rank it as one of the top movies of the year. I almost liked it better than LOTR.

Would've liked it better if it was called The Bulletproof Samurai.
Too much like Dances with Wolves and Braveheart for me. If not for the ninja attack I would have been completely unimpressed.

My husband REALLY wants to see The Last Samari, we just haven't had a chance to go yet. It's so hard to find a good sitter and get away! We are HUGE LOTR fans, so it would be pretty hard for any movie to even be "almost better" to us! We haven't heard anything good or bad from anyone we know about Samari. So it's nice to hear some kind of feedback! Thanks MadCardDisease!
Originally posted by Pariah Yeah, but at least it dodn't have Ishtar and AI undertones.
A movie with those undertones I would go see!
Last Samurai had DWW and Bravheart undertones but didn't bring anything new to the table. I didn't feel any need to have watched it when everything was said and done.
