i have no ownership of this, just enjoyed it very much
The era before marvel movies… miss this level of depth
It’s possible to enjoy both this is one of my favorite movies ever I also enjoy the marvel movies.
What has Marvel got to do with this?
Yes! Thank you for putting what I have been feeling into words. They don’t make them like they used too.
@@aravind4391 Those substanceless popcorn flicks essentially killed the period epic genre. Not comic book movies as a whole just those overhyped and overproduced Marvel movies.
its a pretty average movie which Implies how far we've fallen
I think Tom Cruises performance in this film is exceptionally underrated. He deserved an Oscar nomination.
Men rarely speak to each other in such intimate, emotional, reverential tones -whilst *remaining* .. MEN.
Always frustrating to hear people write this film off because they wrongly assume Tom Cruise is the Last Samurai. This is a movie I find infinitely rewatchable. Great film deserving of far more respect than people give it.
the silliness of treating the word Samurai exclusively as a singular noun. The Last Samurai refers to Katsumoto's whole army practically.
@@drlca6601 The movie is available in multiple other languages, and they almost always translate the title as singular, not plural (which is probably a mistake. It's just funny that so many countries mistranslated it if that's the case). Also the poster for the movie says "TOM CRUISE" in the same large font size as "THE LAST SAMURAI" right underneath, so I don't blame people for thinking Tom Cruise is the Last Samurai when the poster looks like that. The marketing seems to have done this deliberately (most of the posters were just Cruise in armor and the title). But yeah, I think it would make more sense and be cooler if the title referred to Katsumoto's whole army instead of just one man.
@@drlca6601Only child who think that tom Cruise the last samurai😅
My teacher in Japanese class in highschool refuse to show us this movie for that very same nonsense reason. Smh.
Woke idiots need to be ignored and to celebrate this masterpiece.
The tiger’s eyes are like my own.
- His way of saying they are brothers.
Those that have seen the madness and hell of war are forever brothers regardless of nationality, culture, etc.
Ken Watanabe is brilliant... nuff said
Absolutely amazing! Couldn’t agree more
He should've won an Oscar for a few of his movies.
This one, and Memoirs of a Geisha to name two.
Such an underrated and magnificent actor.
@@mattyg69ification Letters from Iwo Jima too....
Completely agree
Steals every scene in this film. Just amazing 👏🏼
“Only one who is ashamed of what he has done.” “You have no idea what I have done.” Absolute fire acting. One of my most favorite movies ever.
One of the greatest films. A masterpiece. The score, writing, acting. High art.
I highly recommend "Dances with Wolves" and "Braveheart"
@@Anarchizer Agree. Saw them when they came out. Mel never disappoints. If you haven’t, watch “Edge of Darkness.” Brilliant film. Ray Winstone is perfect.
This Japanese guy should have received an Oscar for his back-up role to Tom Cruise. He was amazing throughout the movie and to the very end!
this japanese guy lol..thats ken watanabe
Watanabe Ken is likely only next to Sanada Hiroyuki in terms of fame in the western world. Have you not seen inception? That's him.
He's not a back up to Tom Cruise
Ken Watanabe should have recieved multiple oscars. Period. This was sold to us as a Tom Cruise movie, but is in fact a Ken Watanabe movie. He is the last Samurai, he is the ultimate warrior and Chieftain of his clan, he is intelligent, disciplined and benevolent, he rescues Tom Cruise, from the battlefield and from his inner demons, and (Spoiler alert) he is the one who makes the ultimate sacrifice for his way of life. The bookend to his statement about searching for the perfect cherry blossom, is his final line. "Perfect, they are all perfect."
@@Mattatohead Wonderfully said. Thank you, Mattatohead.
Such a good movie with an incredible soundtrack. I can watch it a million times and never get sick of it
Same here. The cast is fabulous. The music is magnicent. The movie is stupenduous.
me too
I love Japanese actors
When I was young I used to see all Asians alike, couldn't tell the difference between a Japanese & a Chinese for example.
But as I grew up, I found it easy to realize how far they're different!
Very unfortunate that Hollywood is slowly getting dominated by Chinese actors, producers...
For a reason I don't understand at all!
In term of talents, Japanese are far more superior!
I love to watch this movie
💯
I love the scene. When he says, "When I took these, you WERE my enemy." I love the fact that he knows this is probably ending by taking him with them back to the city. But he respects him enough to offer him his freedom.
You are supposed to reply "Nooo I don't want to be your enemy 😭😭😭"
just rewatched that movie for the.. 100000th time. always a masterpiece.
One of the greatest cinematography masterpiece in history.
Omg every single time when he says "when I took this you were my enemy..."
But we all know he wants to finish it by saying "but now I return this to you as my friend"...
Shhhhheesshhh tears every time!
I remember another clip from The Last Samurai, the one where Cruise apologizes for killing her husband; there was a comment translating the Japanese, and there was such deep subtext and nuance to the discussion that it took a full, long paragraph to translate rather than a couple lines. A beautiful language out of a beautiful culture.
Reliable, faithful Bob, always watching over Nathan. A true friend.
This movie is damn good and severely underrated
37 yr old man crying like a little child because those ninjas being cutting too many onions
This scene and the last scene with the emperor
damn you ninjas!
It's alright. The Samurai defeated the ninjas.
"I took these when you were... my enemy." The 2 men sharing that look knowing what more that statement actually meant... that we were now friends bound with a warrior's bond. It really shows how Cruise and Watanabe are perfect for these roles and that they took this film seriously. I've seen this film countless times... and I could never get tired of it.
Countless? How hard is it to count to 10 or 20? Too many simple people out there.
@@TheMalf1978dude chill. Ever heard of hyperbole? Or are you too simple for that?
I don’t think Algren-San really wanted to leave.
Probably the best movie Tom Cruise has done so far and he's done a lot of great movies^^
Born on the 4th of July is pretty good too. It's a true story. He was also good in Legend although that's a pretty weird movie.
@@everready19373 Legend was a Fairy Tale brought to life and Tim Curry carried it
@@everready19373 He's very good in Minority Report as well.
Like these blossoms, [from the moment we are born] we are all dying
Very profound scene
They're such natural homies man. Love this movie.
The one movie the single movie I have never grown tired of watching over and over again! Gosh what a legendary movie! Too beautiful! It's completely artistic and poetic! Just takes you to a place you never through your soul could find. It's like discovering something you never felt before! Just WOW!
I'll never get tired of watching this movie.
Nor 👁️ …❤👊🏾🔥
- Every soldiers have nightmares.
- Only one who is ashamed of what he has done.
Some believe that. Truth be told, most can't fathom why others have done, what they've done, to put them in that position to defend themselves or those they love. Nightmares are a way for the brain to try and make sense of it all.
That is not true. Honorable veterans, good men who have nothing to be ashamed of, often have nightmares. They may be brought on by emotional or physical trauma, not necessarily guilt.
@@mikebrown1926 Just because you consider them good men, doesn't mean they consider that themselves. The whole idea is that human can struggle with killing, even if it's acceptable and in war. You can still feel guilt, shame etc of taking another mans life. We do not see honor in death the way the samurai do in this movie. For them it's a literal honor to die by the sword, in combat. Being fully convinced killing another is something good.
That's probably what they mean.
@@mikebrown1926 I was in Afghanistan from 2010-2011. When I returned, for about a year, I had violent dreams. Just awful. Then they stopped. Never had dreams like that again. I retired from the Army in 2015 after 23 years. Not sure why this video was recommended to me.
@mikebrown1926 the ones with honest and big hearts have nightmares for the things they HAD to do to save their brothers and themselves. The good hearted men never went to war to hurt and kill but to save and protect. That's the biggest difference between regret, guilt and shame compared to being apathetic towards the things you've done. I've met many veterans that I can tell are good people but they have sad eyes. It's heartbreaking.
The background music is sublime....
Hanz Zimmer is just unbelievable
most underrated movie ever.
Not really a Tom movie lover.....but honestly what a film...never gets old. The story is so powerful ...
"The Way of the Warrior is the resolute acceptance of death." - Miyamoto Musashi
I do find peace since adopting this philosophy.
you should become a muslim so you understand death much more
Adopting such a philosophy, there is no peace. To live the way of the true warrior, you are constantly looking for war to take part in. No such thing as a peaceful warrior, always on edge looking over both shoulders.
Give me a nudge in the direction that you are speaking of. Is that a book?
@@JohnSmith-gq9gn yes , The Quran .Read its english translation
@@SAADD The Quran preaches hate and murder. That is not the book that he was talking about.
We used to be enemies, but now you are my friend. Thank you for the embrace and respect to you gave to our culture..
"When I took this, you were; my enemy". Such strong powerful words and philosophy. How can one not shed any tears to this masterpiece film? The Way of the Warrior, way of Life, that is Bushido.
One of the best movies and soundtracks of all time
“When I took this you were my enemy”
I love that such an amazing way to show their friendship ❤
Every scene are nothing but great screenplay with dialogues who are ( straight to the point ) plot and/or character development driven , all of this delivered by superb acting from start to finish . This is all i want from a movie honestly .
And i missed the musical aspect , probably because it blends so perfectly into all of this that it manages to make those elements shines even more ( which is what a movie OST should always be about ) .
Is it me? Or does anyone else think that people were deeper and wiser a 100 years ago?
This remains my Fav Tom Cruise movies … and one of my favourite films, of all time. I watch it once every few years, to keep it fresh for me.
Ken Wantanbe was fanstastic in this movie.
One of the best scenes ever. Emotionally poingent, cinematography exceptional and the music filled in the gaps electrifying everything.
My all time favourite. BRILLIANT ACTING BY TOM. Great story great music.❤
i dont know how many times i watch this movie and yet every time i watch this it just good and same as first time i saw.
i like how he turns away so fast
One of my favourite films of all time the emotion of this movie is amazing
"To know life in every breath, every cup of tea, every life we take. The way of the warrior." I watched this movie in the theater 20+ years ago, it's still one of my favorites. "Tell me how he died?" ..."And I will tell you how he lived."
One of the best movies i've ever seen.
Outstanding movie they aren't making them like this one anymore.
I wrote down and memorized these words when I was a kid to use when I had to leave my Japanese home stay family. And I only half understood that they were a polite goodbye. But knowing fully what they mean, it’s no wonder I managed to make them cry intensely and wave so very much when I left!
which line exactly?
@@user-df5is8jy6n I believe he is referring to the words Algren says to Taka about having to go away..
that's an amazing and heartwarming story. Thank you for sharing it
Hey let's watch it together and recite the movie this is my favorite!! Kuramasan 🇯🇵💯🙏❤️
I learn Japanese from Naruto
Love this film so much, and someone else described it perfectly, this is not "white savior", he saved nobody, he was the one who was saved, he found peace, a reason to fight and live and a culture that healed him and someone he fell in love with in that culture. Its the opposite of white savior and thats great to see.
1000% agree with you! This is what this movie means!
This was one of the best movie Hollywood ever made. So perfectly told story. Background music was perfect
Very excellent actor 👏 here with Tom terrific 🎭🎎
"If the Emperor wishes my death... he has but to ask". My God, what a line. And uttered with such lack of care. Like, this is what the samurai lived and breathed for. The word "samurai" means "to serve". And if you could serve your master, whether he be a shogun or the emperor himself, with your death... so be it, no matter, I will die anyway, whether by the sword or the passing of time.
Samurai were dicks, buddy. Read real history. They're not as noble as portrayed here. It was a status, not just a warrior symbol.
@@Sarnatuile They were Japanese aristocracy. Obviously they're gonna be dicks to everyone else. At least from a 20th and 21st century Western perspective.
Like these blossoms we are all dying. Life in every breath. That is Bushido!
This is how movies are meant to be made.
such high morals and respect for the mighty samurai warriors long live bushido ☯️🙏
They weren't so honourable in reality, I think. Samurai films often romanticise a LOT. Read in the encyclopedia that they were also drunken bullies who would suddenly use violence without a preceding confict, and raping women was common.
@@EscargoTouChaud that's true
@@EscargoTouChaud The bad clans were like that maybe, but there were some who dedicated their lives to that code and even killed themselves at the order of their master.
Bushido! Which prepared a samurai. Much respect from India 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Man that little smile she gave him. That would have put me on cloud 9 for a year.
I love this movie, everything just perfect...
Beautiful movie
Even though Tom Cruise is crazy... the older I get the more I appreciate his dedication to his craft. Dude is a master
"When I took these, you were my enemy." Stated simply but the past tense could not have been clearer.
The best movie ever with the best love scene ever so descent so Innocent and pure just the facial expressions gorgeous
"what else has she told you?"
"That you have nightmares."
"Only those who are ashamed of what they have done "
"You have no.idea what I've done."
Movies of early 2000s. Masterpiece after masterpiece. Man, we were spoiled back then.
A Carlsberg moment.... Probably the best soundtrack in motion picture history. Masterpiece of a film and soundtrack.
Ken Watanabe is a brilliant actor. Not a big Cruise fan, but these 2 have chemistry.
The concept of bushido is a powerful concept!
I know what you mean. In 200 years we think we have become more civilized but along the way have lost our elegance
Not only can you learn life lessons, but develop a sense of respect and understanding not only for yourself, but for all mankind
Taka was breathtakingly beautiful washing her hair by the water.
This Japan man...Is just TOP!!!!! The best ever!!!!!
BUSHIDO!!!! “The way of the warrior!”
Historically accurate? Perhaps not. Beautifully made from start to finish? Yes.
Such an incredible scene!
"When I took these you were my enemy, now I've read them you can have them back"
Were they books or something?
@@finaladvance5085 Journals of his accounts with the native Americans.
Now that he's learned. He understand him better.
It's not about his books he's speaking about.
When I was young, I had nightmares, nightmares from shame, nightmares from being ostracized from a group
Now that I have a family, my nightmares changed, it turned to not being able to provide for my family, and lacking the ability to keep them safe
I had to drown it with alcohol😊
You better now?
From 1:43 to 1:49 it transcends cultures and goes to the same common thing that unites all soldiers...the horrors and madness that they have seen and that at times man can descend to levels no better than the most vicious of animals. And the survivors hoping to make sense of it all and to hopefully live up to the fact that they survived such hell.
I could listen to an audiobook by watanbe for hours
HOURS.
@@SuperLuminalElf my fault years
Great scene, thanks for sharing 👍
Great movie
In my opinion this is Tom Cruise's best film. Even better than VALERIE.
the men in your country do not like conversations?
This flower is so beautiful so as the people.
I saw "The Last Samurai" at the Horton Plaza Cineplex in San Diego, CA while stationed in the Navy!
Excellent beautiful amazing sublime inmortal.
1:50 This part. This scene. This view. And the music. By the Nine! 😭
“If the emperor wishes my death, he has but to ask”
In a time where women are dressing as raunchy as can be, this woman only shows her SHOULDER and it’s incredibly sensual. Algren could barely keep his jaw from dropping.
Great movie a must-see!
He said he was his enemy, and yet Bob still follows him in the background.. he could have an intimate moment with her😆
He still killed her husband. The being dressed to battle by her was intimate as F! (Considering the whole context)
Bob could kill him, yes. But, that wasn't really Bob's purpose. He was Nathan's bodyguard, and escort.
❤❤
Wonderful movie brilliant 😎
I have never been a fan of his, but I sure can say that to me this was his best. Everyone in it, the old to the children were more believable than the comic strip mess being put out today.
I really like this movie it’s one of my favorite
Buena muy Buena.....
She really is one of the most stunning woman I ever seen film or not.
I'LL DIE N TAKE WITH ME * ALL MEMOS OF THIS UNIQUE STORY *
I'LL REWATCH IT IN MY GRAVE .
' MOROCCO '
My favorite scene from the last samurai.
1:56 looks like from kung fu panda “my time has come” master ogway scene
ALRIGHT NOW I NEED TO SEE IT AGAIN-
Yesterdays enemies are tomorrows friends.
This is dope yo! 😋
What a beautiful movie... Tom Cruise is the Last Movie Star
An art piece. No more these days.
