The last samurai

Rating: 10/10 (31 December 2007)

I must say, this film really inspired me to endure the terrible things life throws at us. The story begins in which a previous civil war soldier(cruise) is struggling and wants to commit suicide for his actions toward natives during the war. He then goes to Japan to receive a job in which he teaches normal Japanese civilians how to fight against the samurai. Having lost their first battle, Cruise is captured by the Samurai and during his ordeal with them, he learns undeniable compassion and discipline. The acting is tearful, the music is beyond the most gorgeous I have ever heard, and the story line is just beautiful. The scenery and lighting fit the other three elements just perfectly. Agin, the music is the best part, thanks to Has Zimmer for delivering such a gorgeous score that supports and incorporates motifs regarding sadness and sorrow from ones past.
A true piece of work and one of my favorite films!!!!!!!!!!
