A movie that touched me through laughter and tears, gentleness and spirituality.

Rating: 10/10 (25 December 2003)

This was an amazing film depicting the history of Japan through the way of the Samurai. I thought it was extremely well acted by all in the film and Cruise's performance was undeniably his best. I cried and I laughed during this film and so many different things touched me such as the spirituality and gentleness portrayed by Katsumoto and his people. It was also very inspiring, a movie that brought me to believing that those things in the past can be overcome through honor.
