In America, tormented Civil War veteran Capt. Nathan Algren (Tom Cruise) is coerced by a mercenary officer (Tony Goldwyn) to train the Japanese Emperor's troops in the use of modern weaponry. Opposing this "progress" is a rebellion of samurai warriors, holding fast to their traditions of honor despite strategic disadvantage. As a captive of the samurai leader (Ken Watanabe), Algren learns, appreciates, and adopts the samurai code, switching sides for a climactic battle that will put everyone's honor to the ultimate test. All of which makes director Edward Zwick's noble epic eminently worthwhile, even if its Hollywood trappings (including an all-too-conventional ending) prevent it from being the masterpiece that Zwick and screenwriter John Logan clearly wanted it to be. Instead, The Last Samurai is an elegant mainstream adventure, impressive in all aspects of its production. It may not engage the emotions as effectively as Logan's script for Gladiator, but like Cruise's character, it finds its own quality of honor. --Jeff Shannon Review: The Last Samurai = A Masterpiece - Tom Cruise is a famous actor worldwide. Most of you have seen his work in various films, such as A Few Good Men or Jerry Maguire. However, Tom is back in a new movie, which takes the audience back into an era of the past - one that surrounds us in the days of the Civil War. Tom Cruise portrays a man named Nathan Algren, who is a hero during the Civil War, but is disillusioned of the terrible killings he had to perform under the leadership of Colonel Bagloney against the American Indians. He is hired, by the Japanese Emperor, to take down another rebellion by leading a army of Japanese peasants that never saw a gun in their life. Even though he trains them for a time, the rebels attack and Algren is ordered to track them down and defeat the adversary, despite the fact that more training is needed. Fighting somewhere in the forests of Japan, his army is easily defeated and the rebels capture him and take him back to their village. Becoming a captive and not having a chance to escape, due to the fact that winter's coming, Algren spends his time with these people, already inspired and intrigued. He comes to learn that these people are "Samurai", who serve the Emperor and follow life through a different path and a set of principles that keep their life in balance, using such values as loyalty, duty, and compassion, just to name a few. Only one problem remains - Japan is facing a new modernized world and is seeking to keep up with the times by throwing away the traditions of old in favor of a more-friendly government. The rebellion, lead by a samurai named Katsumoto (portrayed by Ken Watanbe), despies that idea and fight back in order to keep their sacred ways alive. Gaining his sense of honor and redemption back, Algren joins the Samurai and aids them in a fierce battle that decides Japan's history for the rest of time. The movie does have its dose of action scenes and story moments, but what really make this movie unique are its philosophical moments. The Samurai, as you know, are people that follow the way of the Bushido, the traditional code of the Japanese samurai, stressing honor, self-discipline, bravery, and simple living. It's the type of values that most people wish to live by, but the Samurai go far beyond that. If they are defeated in battle, then it means that they have dishonored themselves and their clan, thus will kill them for disgracing their families and those close to him or her. It's a tough life, to be sure, but it's the principles of their life that stands out. Tom Cruise said it best about the Samurai: "They are an intriguing people. From the moment they wake, they devote themselves to the perfection of whatever they pursue. I have never seen such strong discipline." In order for the movie to display any realism, the movie was shot around various locations in Japan, from a temple located in Kyoto to a small Japanese town called Himeji. Not only the locations needed to be authentic, but also so did everything else, as this movie took place in two different worlds. Everything had to blend in for the movie a sense of honesty into the whole project. Though there is some historical inconsistencies in the plot, since this is based on a certain era in the past, those can be looked past. The action is wild, but again, had to be realistic. So realistic, in fact, that there was some close calls on the set. Tom Cruise could have died, since an actor's sword nearly beheaded him. That's just one example, but just by checking out the loads of extras on the DVDs, the entire team was committed to the project, making sure that everything went smooth and made the picture look good as a whole. The fighting sequences also add some depth and insight as to how the Japanese and Americans deal with combat, especially in the climatic battle that had both samurai and soldier confronting each other in the end. Overall, The Last Samurai is worth checking out, especially if you are a student of Japanese history or if you're into everything or anything Japanese. It's also some of Tom Cruise's best work by far. Anyone that's a huge fan of Cruise ought to pick up The Last Samurai. Review: Great - Love the movie. Great story and acting. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000JUB7LW | | Actors | Billy Connolly, Ken Watanabe, Timothy Spall, Tom Cruise, Tony Goldwyn | | Aspect Ratio | 2.40:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #734 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #117 in Drama Blu-ray Discs #192 in Action & Adventure Blu-ray Discs | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (12,499) | | Director | Edward Zwick | | Dubbed: | Spanish | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 2231730 | | Language | English (Dolby Digital 5.1), French (Dolby Digital 5.1), Spanish (Dolby Digital 5.1) | | MPAA rating | PG-13 (Parents Strongly Cautioned) | | Media Format | Blu-ray, Closed-captioned, Color, Dolby, Dubbed, NTSC, Subtitled, THX, Widescreen | | Number of discs | 1 | | Producers | Edward Zwick, Marshall Herskovitz, Richard Solomon, Ted Field, Vincent Ward | | Product Dimensions | 5.12 x 0.59 x 6.69 inches; 2.88 ounces | | Release date | November 14, 2006 | | Run time | 2 hours and 34 minutes | | Studio | WarnerBrothers | | Subtitles: | English, French, Spanish | | Writers | Edward Zwick, John Logan, Marshall Herskovitz | ## Product Details - **Format:** Blu-ray, Closed-captioned, Color, Dolby, Dubbed, NTSC, Subtitled, THX, Widescreen - **Genre:** Drama - **Language:** English, French, Spanish - **Runtime:** 2 hours and 34 minutes ## Images ![Last Samurai, The (BD) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Kl9e6n7CL.jpg) ![Last Samurai, The (BD) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91ngRFnIKLL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Last Samurai = A Masterpiece *by M***I on May 10, 2004* Tom Cruise is a famous actor worldwide.
