Sinopsis(1)
1876. El capitán Nathan Algren es un hombre que vive atormentado por los recuerdos de la Guerra Civil (1861-1865) y de las campañas contra los indios, en las que participó arriesgando su vida; pero, desde entonces, el mundo ha cambiado radicalmente: el pragmatismo ha reemplazado al valor, el interés personal ha ocupado el lugar del sacrificio, y el sentido del honor ha desaparecido. En un país muy lejano, otro soldado ve también cómo su modo de vida está a punto de desintegrarse. Es Katsumoto, el último líder de un antiguo linaje de guerreros, los venerados samuráis, que dedicaron sus vidas a servir al emperador y a preservar el espíritu de la milenaria cultura japonesa.

Una plantilla de Hollywood llena de belleza en la que nada te sorprenderá, pero que te hará sentir como en el paraíso. Se nota el esfuerzo de todos. Incluido Edward Zwick. Cada escena es una hermosa armonía poética o una ágil fuerza de acción. Tom Cruise encaja en su papel mejor de lo que cabría esperar y la música de Hans Zimmer aporta una fuerza increíble a las secuencias de lucha. Significativamente mayor que las de Gladiator (El gladiador). El último samurái, por cierto, es en todos los sentidos una película mejor, más completa, con lágrimas más justificadas del público al final.

At times I felt like I was walking in a Japanese garden to the sounds of koto and shakuhachi, at times I was swept away by the whirlwind of the fights and appreciated their great choreography. Visually, this film is flawless, the scenery (New Zealand is a really beautiful part of the world, filming there was an idea worth all the yen) is stunning, and the final battle is a truly believable uncompromising carnage. Who was definitely a pleasant surprise was Cruise. He finally broke away from his typical overacting and seemed natural in his role. A full scoring is hampered by the minutes after the final battle. That battle had a great emotional charge, the ride of the samurai against the machine gun fire gave me chills, but the subsequent clichés and excessive pathos were a shame. Otherwise, no complaints. Interesting fact: The Last Samurai was the most successful film of the year in Japan, grossing more than in the US. The chosen theme and the Japanese actors worked wonders.

The Last Samurai is a film for everyone. The critic suddenly reveals that he understands better than others the principles of Eastern philosophy and the essence of the samurai (see the reviews on some of the renowned servers), the unpretentious viewer is delighted by the pretty face of Cruise, as well as excellent and precisely executed examples of fencing (ermm... Fencing, in fact!). For a discerning spectator, there is a pleasure in its own foresight, for everything that happens in The Last Samurai is perceptible to the last detail. A textbook major Hollywood film in all the glamour and misery. If you accept Zwick's game and abstract from the demanding evaluation of popcorn attempts at a deeper philosophy, the classic "initiation" plot remains, in which the hero finds honor through humiliation. There are also some excellent battle scenes, led by the final battle, which will humble the mega-battles from The Return of the King in a cool way. The great Ken Watanabe remains as samurai leader Katsumoto, as well as Tom Cruise, who, if he were to stop doing the pretty poses, would be a real adornment... It simply remains a pleasant spectacle, which is all that can be expected from The Last Samurai. Edward Zwick cut out a spectacle, which I had a lot of fun with and which made me very happy. Sometimes it's nice to watch the story and know what's going to happen in the next few seconds. And to only care about how it happens. And to not take it so seriously... ___ footnote: After four views, my light intellectual perspective turned to love. Yes, this film is the work of a great romantic and idealist, but it continues to affect me, because in all romanticism there is really an effort for feeling and a huge will to tell the story as impressively as possible. When I put films like Braveheart, Gladiator, Troy, etc., next to each other, Captain Algren's story is the most personal and closest to my heart. I'm increasing the rating to full.

Over two hours of shots of Tom Cruise who is meant to be Nathaniel Algren, but remains simply Cruise for the entire movie. It’s kitsch, void of a screenplay and respect for other cultures, full of clichés... And very good. Monumental battles, Zimmer’s thunderous soundtrack and visual spectacle on top of everything. Dumb and naive gilding. But it must be said that this is extremely entertaining dumb and naive gilding. ♫ OST score: 4/5

The great Japanese cast and samurai lifestyle definitely led me to award the full number of stars. In most movies Tom Cruise's personality would eclipse all supporting actors. But he failed to do so here, since the quality of the Japanese actors is still a bit above him. Content-wise, I find everything I’m looking for here...honor, peace, war, love, friendship. And even though it's a war movie, I also find lots of balance here. And you don’t see that often. A beautiful experience. 5 stars.
