“I will tell you how he lived. “ I’m not crying.

That Samurai v Ninja fight, Ujio's yell at the end - CHILLS! Every single time, that scene is relentless. Love it.

This is NOT a story of some “white savior” interposing himself onto another people. Solving their problems. This IS a story of how another culture saved a man from a distant land. How IT gave purpose to his pain, and taught him to find peace in the storm within, and beauty in the world without again. Nathan is NOT The Last Samurai. At the end of the movie, it is Katsumoto’s story Nathan recounts to the emperor, NOT his own. Edited: Nathan (Nathaniel) is the correct name. Daniel was my “this is your brain on drugs” moment for this morning.

Such an incredible film. Everything about it is first class.

"Perfect....They are all perfect" Never fails to make me cry

I love this movie. Han Zimmer's score is so engaging and amazing and helps the emotional aspect of the movie. A lot of people don't realize how important the music is to a movie which is why I listen to film score a lot.

"His laugh could take the water out of the niagara falls" lol that almost made me spit out my drink! Keep up the good work hermano :)

This makes me cry every time. It's a callback to traditional respect and honor and I think every decent man will have the same reaction to this movie. Not even Band of Brothers or Saving Private Ryan makes me cry this much. This was the first movie that made me cry profusely.

I was obsessed with this movie as a wee lad and I’m so happy it’s been back on the reaction docket lately

If I remember correctly this story is based on a French officer who was in Japan and helped some samurai separatists in the war in Hokkaido.

12:10 Hiroyuki Sanada is a legendary actor and stuntman. He always brings the epitome of a samurai to every film he's in. He trains and fights with Tom Cruise in this film. He fights Hugh Jackman in The Wolverine. He cameos in Speed Racer. He fights with Keanu Reeves in 47 Ronin. He even fights against Jackie Chan in Rush Hour 3. And his appearance in Avengers: Endgame when he got to fight Jeremy Renner. Super awesome to see him whenever he shows up with action.

My manliness and testosterone have increased by 50% after watching this movie. Also, I'm Japanese now.

I'm reminded by this how underused Mr. Watanabe was in Batman Begins.

You can't watch a Tom Cruise movie without roasting him at least once.

Don’t care what anyone says, Tom cruise is a phenomenal actor. In some ways underrated. He should be in the same discussion with the likes of Tom hanks and Daniel day Lewis

"Perfect. They are all... perfect." 🌸😭

The last blossom scene is so poetic referring to earlier in the film about a life not wasted.

I'm a 37 yr old dude and I still cry like a baby every time I watch this movie. The dialogue, the music, the themes, the music, the cinematography, the music, the acting, the music. Did I mention the music? I can't praise this movie enough.

Yeah the music for this movie is superb. One of Hans Zimmer's best imo. He really had it rolling in the early 2000's: Gladiator, Black Hawk Down, Last Samurai, Batman Begins
