The best movie of 2003-****

Rating: 10/10 (15 December 2003)

No matter how much some people might want to think differently, this is an excellent film. The Last samurai gives us a new respect for a dying culture. Although tom cruise hasn't been in that many great movies recently, and some may argue he is not the greatest actor, Ken Watanabe's performance really lifts up Cruise's performance. Although some might compare this movie to dances with wolves, and Braveheart, It doesn't change the fact that this was a good picture. It shows us the ways of this ancient people, and how their beliefs differed from western civilizations. This movie should win Best picture, and best supporting actor (Ken watanabe).
10/10
