The Last Samurai was a very moving movie about the end of the Samurai in Japan...but it also portrayed their impact on their country and its leaders.
Japan is rising. It's diplomats are drunk with the brandy of the West, and seek to end the less modern Samurai who still won't get with the program. Tom Cruise plays a Lieutenant Captain...?? Who is captured by the opposing warrior armies and not harmed...for some reason.
He ends up living among the simple villagers, and later finds out that his caretaker, Taka, and her two sons, are the family of the warrior he killed.

This was a great movie to watch, just because we got to see those hakama! Overall, i liked it; it was cool seeing Japanese mannerisms and culture. Plus all the action scenes, spraying blood, and the super cool Japanese scenery, with the paper rice doors! Sam is a fan.
Tres Estrellas.
