the last samurai...................awesome film

Rating: 10/10 (19 February 2005)

the last samurai is quite possibly the most awesome film i have seen in many a year. i was gripped by it from the moment it started to the very end. the storyline was awesome, the soundtrack was awesome, and the acting performances of both ken watanabe and tom cruise was simply outstanding, as was the acting of many of the actors. and as for the casting of billy connolly, that was inspired !! the location of the filming was superb as well. since i purchased the DVD 2 weeks ago, i have watched this film everyday, and that to me,is a mark of a great outstanding film. there are not many films these days that i would want to watch over and over again. in fact this film has inspired me to actually research the historical facts about the samurai.
