Truly beautiful directing and epic story,

Rating: 10/10 (23 July 2010)

Just an amazing film in all aspects. I have know watched it 4 times and I decided to give my opinion. I can't see why it isn't 10/10 but it should be. To begin with the casting is well chosen. Tom Cruise probably played his strongest in this film. The settings are attractive and beautiful where the music is just astonishing at times. The story has many twists and flows well. I particularly adored the action it was realistic yet it showed the true spirit of the samurai in the combat. The ending is truly heartbreaking just thinking that they had been ordered to fight and destroy their own people and history that formed their country was shown emotionally and will affect any person whatever race. Still remains my favourite film with an epic story, perfected characters, beautiful settings, relationships and scenes I still love this title and always will.
