great movie with a drawback...

Rating: 8/10 (2 November 2005)

As I fan of the mighty samurai I was pretty happy when I first saw the trailer of the Last Samurai.
I became obsessed with the idea that Hollywood finally had a modern Samurai movie and downloaded the movie, than went to the theater, than bought the movie for over 20,- in the first week of his release.
Now, after I watched the movie for over ten times I must say that this movie still doesn't get boring at all!! dammit, what a frickin' wonderful movie it is, the Last Samurai...
Unfortunately, the fact that this IS a Hollywood production was the reason I gave an eight for this movie instead of a ten. Tom Cruise played the role of Nathan Algren, a captain from the USA, who trained the armies of Japan. Tom Cruise is good in this movie, though, however, I hated the Cliché at the end of the movie and every time I watch this movie I REFUSE to watch the end, all because of this cliché.
This movie really shows us the true nature of the Samurai, their way of life (Bushido) and their religion. It is a must watch movie even if you don't like the theme!!
