Extraordinary beauty

Rating: 10/10 (21 December 2019)

Wow, what a movie.
Was a bit hesitant to watch this movie. Thought it would be a kind of kung du movie. Was i wrong! Might indeed be the best performance of Tom Cruise i have seem. Fierce warrior, frustrated by his past duties in the American arme against the natives.
This is a movie about Japan. Intimate scenes of Japanese countryside life as it might have been 150 years ago. The old tradition of the samurai had to come to an end trough import of western warfare with guns.
But we are the honor, the tree power of the samurai and will never forgot the old ways as the emperor acknowleged.
The music and cosumes and landscapes are also of extraordinaire beauty.
I give this movie 10 stars
