- Reviewed in Canada on August 1, 2022Verified PurchaseI think Tom Cruise is a better actor than, for whatever reason, he's given credit for. And as unlikely as it sounds, he actually manages to make his transition in this film from Western mercenary to Japanese samurai work. Who knew?
Cruise plays the part of a veteran of the so-called "Indian Wars" which were conducted by the U.S. Cavalry in the American southwest after the Civil War. He is clearly suffering from what now would be recognized as PTSD. Since he can find succour no where else, he drinks, a lot. Also, figuring he has nothing to lose & needs money to continue to keep himself in liquor, his character signs on as part of an American contingent of mercenaries hired by a Japanese magnate to help transform the Japanese military from the fiefdom of the samurai to a modern, Western-style army fighting with rifles instead of swords.
As it turns out, Cruise is captured by the very Japanese warlord he was sent to help annihilate. As his captivity lengthens and Cruise is exposed to the culture of his captors, his transformation begins. Although this story covers some familiar ground & is burdened with more than a few cinematic cliches, Cruise & the other players in this tale make what happens still seem fresh. Remember what I said about Cruise being underrated as an actor.
The battle sequences, as well as all of those having to do with Japanese locales, are very ably rendered. As well, the film is dealing with events that actually happened. When the Meiji Emperor was restored to effective rule, thereby ending centuries of rule by a Shogun who was always a member of the samurai elite, Japan embraced change with a vengeance, transforming their society from a feudal one ruled by the samurai to a nation that would humiliate & defeat Russia in 1905. The film does a more than credible job of explicating the differences between the feudal samurai code of Bushido & the modern, Western capitalist system of devil take the hindmost that was pushing to replace it. (As it turned out, the Japanese developed a hybrid system that emphasized the worst aspects of both credos.)
This is a rollicking good tale that will provide some entertainment perhaps a little better than was expected.

- Reviewed in Canada on February 26, 2025Verified PurchaseOne of my all-time favourite movies. Watched this particular version with my son. He had never seen it before and I wanted him to see an awesome movie.
- Reviewed in Canada on January 21, 2025Verified PurchaseGreat story with a little history
- Reviewed in Canada on January 24, 2020Verified PurchaseBe aware that this review might gives some spoilers.
I love this movie for several reasons. The first one is the reminding of the Wooden Knee massacre of December 29, 1980, were something like 150 Lakota American Indians man, women and even children were literally slaughtered by the US army, which is giving so much credibility to the main character played by Tom Cruise, a man destroyed by his guilt for having participated to the killing of those defenceless people. This reminder is also a link from the past and the present of the story where he is offered the invaluable chance of regaining his honor and healing from his wounds. The second reason why I enjoyed this movie so much is the effort from the producers in their attempt to create a story as true as possible of the real destiny and faith of the samurais, which is, as well, adding so much to the credibility of the story itself.
This said, the picture and the landscapes are marvelous and the way they used to live in their country is presented in such a way that you can fell the serenity and the peace that surround them even in this particular trouble time of their evolution under the pressure of our modern world.
It is a movie that touches the consciousness. It is also a movie of war and peace, of hate and love, and the story of a dying world that will never come back.
A must.

5.0 out of 5 stars Last Samurai: Als ein Krieger seine Bestimmung fand
Verified Purchase"Last Samurai" (2003) ist ein episches Historien-Drama unter der Regie von Edward Zwick, das im Japan der späten 1870er Jahre spielt. Der Film erzählt die Geschichte des amerikanischen Kriegsveteranen Captain Nathan Algren (gespielt von Tom Cruise) und seine Begegnung mit der untergehenden Kultur der Samurai.
Die Handlung beginnt kurz nach dem Amerikanischen Bürgerkrieg. Algren ist ein traumatisierter und desillusionierter Held, der an PTSD leidet und seinen Lebensunterhalt mit der Bewerbung von Schusswaffen verdient. Er wird von der japanischen Regierung, angeführt vom jungen Kaiser Meiji (Shichinosuke Nakamura), angeheuert. Der Kaiser strebt eine schnelle Modernisierung Japans nach westlichem Vorbild an, was den Bau von Eisenbahnen, die Einführung moderner Waffen und die Abschaffung traditioneller Strukturen einschließt.
Algrens Aufgabe ist es, die neu formierte, unerfahrene japanische Armee in modernen Kampftechniken auszubilden, um den Aufstand der letzten Samurai unter ihrem Anführer Katsumoto (Ken Watanabe) niederzuschlagen. Katsumoto ist ein hoch angesehener Bushi und ein Traditionalist, der die westliche Einmischung und die Abkehr von den alten Werten Japans ablehnt.
Während eines Gefechts gegen Katsumotos Krieger wird Algrens Regiment vernichtend geschlagen. Algren selbst, der sich tapfer, aber aussichtslos wehrt, wird von Katsumoto gefangen genommen, da dieser von Algrens Kampfgeist beeindruckt ist. Katsumoto bringt Algren in sein verstecktes Bergdorf, wo er ihn nicht als Gefangenen, sondern als Gast behandelt.
In den Monaten, die Algren bei den Samurai verbringt, lernt er ihre Lebensweise, ihre Disziplin, ihre Philosophie des Bushidō (Weg des Kriegers) und ihre tiefe Verbundenheit mit Ehre, Respekt und Spiritualität kennen. Er trainiert mit ihnen im Schwertkampf und lernt Japanisch. Algren ist fasziniert von ihrer Lebensweise, die im starken Kontrast zu seinem eigenen, von Gewalt und Verlust geprägten Leben steht. Er findet eine Art inneren Frieden und Respekt für die Samurai, der seine anfängliche Verachtung ablöst. Er entwickelt eine tiefe Bindung zu Katsumoto und seiner Familie, insbesondere zu Taka (Koyuki), der Schwester eines von ihm getöteten Samurai.
Als der Frühling kommt, muss Algren eine Entscheidung treffen: Soll er zu seiner alten Welt zurückkehren oder bei den Samurai bleiben, die nun seinen tiefsten Respekt gewonnen haben? Er beschließt, an der Seite der Samurai in ihrem letzten, verzweifelten Kampf gegen die überlegene moderne Armee des Kaisers zu stehen, wohlwissend, dass es ein Kampf bis zum bitteren Ende sein wird.
Der Film gipfelt in einer epischen und tragischen Schlacht, die das Ende einer Ära und den Triumph des Wandels über die Tradition symbolisiert, aber auch die unsterbliche Ehre und den Geist der Samurai würdigt. "Last Samurai" ist bekannt für seine visuelle Pracht, die starken Darstellerleistungen (insbesondere Ken Watanabe, der für einen Oscar nominiert wurde) und die Auseinandersetzung mit Themen wie kulturellem Konflikt, Ehre, Loyalität und dem Sinn des Lebens.
