The Best Dramatic War Movie

Rating: 8/10 (1 December 2004)

When the first time this movie promoted, I got lil' bit interest with it. Because I like epic and classic war movies, also there's one of the top actor, Tom Cruise, played there. But then I heard some comments from the movie critics, not good comments. They said that this movie has not too good story and Cruise's acted was bad. So, I scratched this movie from my A Must See Movie list. Suddenly, somehow I felt in love with Cruise after I watched his movie, Interview with the Vampire and Mission Impossible 2. Then I watched Collateral, Top Gun, and The Firm. I felt in love with his act, his cute face, and his beautiful green eyes. So, I borrowed The Last Samurai vcd from vcd rental shop. When I picked this movie, I scared that I've picked the wrong movie and I'll feel disappointed after I watch it. Then, I watched it and I cried. Really cried. Wow ! This movie was so damn great! The story, the setting, the war, the sacrifice, the costumes. It was great. I think the director knows how to make a dramatic war. It was so emotional and touching. This movie is the first one which its war scene made me cry. And Tom Cruise, he acted very very good. I truly touched with Captain Nathan Algren's personality. This character is the best Tom's dramatic character.
I felt lil' bit sad when I knew that this movie not really success in some awards, esp. Oscar and Golden Globe. But I think this movie has many big fans too. The Last Samurai is a must see movie.
