If I could just go back in time and live in a village like the one in the movie for some time, to listen, to watch, to learn the way they were living their lives. If I could just feel the way Nathan felt in the end and get to experience and understand what it really means to be samurai. Whole my life I have been a fan of samurai and japanese culture overall and even tho I never visited Japan, and probably never will, I would really, really love to. This movie always made me very emotional. I watch it every now and then, just to remember what an awesome piece of art it is. Tom Cruise really did an awesome job, other actors too. Hans Zimmer, like always, did his thing and made this movie what it is. Japanese, preserve and protect your rich culture and history. Best regards from Serbia.
Then you don't understand what it means to be a samurai. Not dying for a reason but dying for a purpose. And if you don't understand the purpose, your dead would be meaningless, well, maybe not for your leader, as your dead might give him an advantage over his enemy, but your iown deals would be blown into the wind.
Beautiful and sad movie. Cried alot because it was so beautiful. When I was younger I watched alot of samurai movies with my dad who is Japanese.. Found it horrible. At that time I didn't understand much of the way samurais lived their life and way of thinking. Now many years later I know alot more about them. The way they think of the word honor is amazing to me.. Not afraid of dying. I see the Japanese old way of thinking.. It's tough. But in a way beautiful ..
+Hanna Miyashita Your words are quite true Hanna, about how beautiful it was. I wish Honor existed in every culture, alas, I feel that only a rare few still hold on to it. If Honor was Life, this world would sadly be an empty place, but it is okay to still believe in it. I do.
If he and you believe in with all your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior, that He is the son of God and that He is God in human flesh, and that He died for all our sins even though He was innocent and without sin Himself and was raised from the dead. You will be saved from your sins by grace through faith in Jesus Christ and you will be given eternal life.
I first heard the Spectres in the Fog from The Painted Veil. So moving! Six years onward and I'm still just as in love with it and just as moved everytime I hear it. One of those few rare instrumentals that really succeeded in touching you time and time again.
+Colin M For sure. Him and many of the others from today's era, but yes Hans Zimmer is the top in my opinion as well. However, you should know that all these guys today are the spawn of Sergei Prokofiev. He in turn spawned the Conan the Barbarian soundtrack which probed to be the inspiration for most today. Check out his soundtrack for the anti-Nazi propaganda and decently historically accurate film, Alexander Nevsky.
Ludwig van Beethoven Hey, Beethoven, look. I know that Bach was an inspiration to you and all, and that you studied with Mozart, but you need to understand that if you had been born in this century you would've looked at guys like Zimmer in the same way...
I was 11 or 12 when this came out and one of my first R rated movies I was allowed to watch at the theater! Made me so facisnated with Japan, the samurai the history the culture. Such a great movie still!
I will never forget Christmas on 2003 during this scene I sat on the edge of my seat and felt as if no one else existed I was transfixed. I've never had an experience like this during another film since. I practice Budo to the best of my abilities and felt something in this film inspired it at another level.
+Abhijeet Singh Well it's not really japanese music. It's still occidental style of music with some japanese instruments. But well, that's not really important
Loved this film it is outstanding. The music by Hans Zimmer is fantastic as is all of his music. Seen Hans Zimmer live in Birmingham, England , what a performance. Long may he keep on producing fantastic music.
Guys, please learn something from this beautiful movie. Don't let the positive vibes vanish in your memories. Use the energy that this movie and soundtrack gave to you and create harmony in the world :)
Easier said than done my friend. The world is a bad place right now. Definitely more evil people than good. The degeneracy and toxicity of society are beyond saving.
So I guess the hot tub Time machine is real. No way Hans Zimmer just came up with masterpiece off the top of his head. This is genius. This is magical. This is soul piercing music. Thanks Hans
The samurai were a privileged class most of the time. Also, one of the real reasons for the meiji restoration was because they wanted to keep their privileges as an upper class.
Yup, pretty much, history has two versions, the romanticized version and the true version. The romanticized is the one that write by the rulers to make them look cool n shit (like the spartan held out MILLIONS of soldiers for example), while the true version can be both from them and/or other accounts.
You are a moron! Do you not know, why the Samurai started this rebellion against the Emperor? Because they did not want to see their preveleges cut by a modern Japanense state! So, they fought becuase they wanted to keep their high ranking position in society! Fuck serving: THey were only serving theor own interestes!
A true master Samurai who follows the code of Bushido, would have NO emotions at all in a dual as there are no opponents, every dual is a lesson/ Refining in itself. Seek perfection in everything, you do not exist, only the task at hand and how it is carried out! How we live Defines who we are. The masters we salute you all!
Norm Vigas a "dual - dualism? That's another concept :) As @Blackmagicboy1 already wrote, you're one of the many where the Samurai, Budo or the "code of Bushido" has left short, historically incorrect facts, or let's say made up a too much black & white sight of the real facts of japanese Samurai etc. background. Underlaid with too many movies where incorrect facts become historical facts. Just to please the heroic sight of us westerners searching for honor, values, pride at times where our values seem to flow just down the drain :(
a true da vinci of music this movie and music combo makes me wanna compete in the ring/the mat /the cage,,,,ive followed martial arts 50 years,,i know what it is to bleed in battle but this music tells me why i do it
Magnifique film et la musique de hans zimmer rajoute à la puissance des combats et à la douceur des regard pudiques où on devine l'amour naissant. C'est beau Hans zimmer un maître car on voit le fim rien qu'en écoutant la musique. Hans, un génie Bravo Sarah 🎵🎶👏👍💪😍👸
artictundra313 Your men are running from the field of battle, sir! Our General has fallen! ARMGRANGU GUNS! That game has the hilarious immersion-breaking notifications. It's like CA's version of bitching betty.
Jin Sakai’s OST represents him as the Ghost, He is Samurai and who follows the law of Bushido but if the game used this soundtrack.. The Introduction would have been different and wouldn’t be epic and amazing but your not wrong about this OST but if they use this OST it’s like they have to pay the company and Hans for this soundtrack using on Jin Sakai which doesn’t fit in so Jin Sakai’s OST represents him and only his character and who he is.. as A Samurai and as the Ghost... The way of the sword and the way of the bow and myths and divide and conquer he is a legend Jin Sakai but his spirit is far beyond your comment.. “Born in one world. Grown but once a coward. Samurai now... died but alive. Risen and now is a Ghost”
Jin Sakai has its own best theme called "Jin Sakai"! And it is best cause just read its analysis from one of the youtube comments i found: "The drums that consist of the background is the Mongols, the ever present threat upon everyone in Tsushima. The low violin in the background is honor/ the samurai code or just the samurai themselves that live by these rules. Jin is the flute that rings louder than everything else. It fails to find unison in the strums of violins. Probably symbolizing Jin’s stray from the samurai way of battle and life. 0:30- 0:55 is a clash against one another. Likely Jin struggling to choose between all he’s ever known or the way that is right to survive the persistent drums, the Mongols. Near the middle, The high (soprano) violins are Jin’s followers, the people that look to him. Like Taka, Yuna, and the people of Yarikawa, etc. Following along to his symphony, the symphony of The Ghost. They override the drums of the Mongols. All sounds continue to fight for a louder sound, initially Jin having to choose what he knows is right. Eventually everything goes still, a lone flute plays with the strums of what I believe is a harp. Solidifying the role of The Ghost. Who he becomes in the end. Protecting others and leading those that are low and hopeless to a strength the couldn’t acquire on their own."
When I listen to this I remember the names of my great grandfather his children my grandmother grandfather uncles all the ones that not here with me..but are with me spirit inshallah I will see them in the next life

if ur american theres already still a ancient warrior culture with ancient lessons on being a great human being. learn from the native americans!!!
very true
you... do realize we don't have tribes in north america anymore right?
The beginning truly transcends your spirit to another level.

Hans Zimmer is a true genius, we are so blessed to have his music in our lifetime.
Please let Hans Zimmer lives forever so many generations can hear this kind of music
He will live on forever because his music is timeless! Such an extraordinary man he is!
+nguyen minhduc time is only relative, passion has no limits and epicness is eternal. This music will never die.

I've been listening to Hans Zimmer music for a month now and I'm not tired of it. His work on the Last Samurai is a true piece of art
one day mankind will look back on Hans Zimmer as we look back on Bach

Boy, am I glad to hear someone say Budo instead of the romanticized version Bullshitdo
This is the one of the best japanese soundtrack I ever heard.. for honor and victory
+Abhijeet Singh I have to agree with you!!!! Still love it to this day!
+Abhijeet Singh Well it's not really japanese music. It's still occidental style of music with some japanese instruments. But well, that's not really important
Hans Zimmer, you are a living music giant. No other trials would be as much touching, epical, dignified as spectres in the fog...

Easier said than done my friend. The world is a bad place right now. Definitely more evil people than good. The degeneracy and toxicity of society are beyond saving.
That real samurai were way more fickle than portrayed and Algren should've gotten a lawsuit after firing a rifle into an open crowd.
I listened in my life the best soundtrack. Amazing !
Une musique qui donne du courage à notre cœur et des rêves à travers nos pensées. Ce n'est pas de la musique mais de l'art.

3:11 gave me the chills.
Listening to this amazing music in 2020. At the time of Coronavirus
If only I sailed for such lands.
This should be Jin Sakai's theme! Like if you feel the bushido spirit!

Hanszimmer is an absolute tool. You hire him as a composer and 50% of your movie is done
Какой прекрасный фильм, а музыка просто шедевр.
