brilliant movie!!!

Rating: 10/10 (22 April 2008)

best acting from Tom Cruise other than the movie jerry Maguire.its a brilliant movie overall and should have won Oscars if not for LOTR. There might be a slight flaw in its historical aspects, but come on this is a movie.there is nothing wrong with Nathan(cruise) living until the end because it was already mentioned that his time has not come(conversation between cruise and watanabe before the final battle).
The main theme in this movie is Honor, and it portrayed that in every way.the theme is Honor, not culture or history so don't expect to get much of those two.this is not a movie where there is another superior American, but an American who learns from people around him and adapting himself to their culture.
some people find it very hard to accept an American samurai, but in this movie, Nathan is already a professional warrior in his own country, so he does not find much trouble learning from them.
Overall, this movie for me is an epic and i Honor it in every way.
