The Last Samurai is an absolute masterpiece.

Rating: 9/10 (24 August 2018)

From the writing & directing, to Zimmer's incredible score and impeccable acting all-round, but most notably by Ken Watanabe and Tom Cruise..this movie is an absolutely epic journey and an emotional rollercoaster that everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime.
The Last Samurai is violent. Emotional. Raw. When a movie succeeds to bring tears to my eyes, as a 25 year old man, you know it's something special. The Last Samurai is exactly that.
Without spoiling anything, I will just say that this is a perfect storm of impeccable acting, an incredible cast of actors, writers, directors, and everyone involved. The end result is almost flawless. A perfect encapsulation of the Samurai code, bushido, this movie revolves around the core values in life, which we often forget.. Most notably, honor.
An absolute must-watch, an almost impeccable movie; 9.5/10.
