"I will tell you how he lived" still gets me. What a line. Heavy with purpose.
For the samurai, finding a cause worth dying for was the same as finding a cause to live for...at least, that's what my swordsmanship instructor says.
@@Tantalus010 I think that was the beauty in this conversation. The Emperor was interested in what they thought was important in someone's life, the manner in which they died. Augrin as a foreigner was able to show him what they valued, the manner in which he lived.
@@Tantalus010 always makes me think to when katsumoto says to Algren that the samurai aren’t necessary anymore and Algren says “what could be more necessary” coming from an outsider. Such a powerful concept. Great movie 👍
Tom cruise should of died in this film
We must not forget who we are or where we can from gets me the most
This movie was released when I was stationed in Japan (US Army). The Japanese people loved it, despite some historical inaccuracies. It captures so much of the emotion and culture of Japan, but is also emotionally resonant for soldiers from any culture, from any time. Thank you for sharing your reactions to this masterpiece.
Same here; I had just transfered to Sasebo, Japan in January '04 and watched it on base. I got the same vibe and reactions from the locals seeing the film for the first time.
The exact reasoning and the way it goes isn't accurate, but they also never attempted to make such a movie. But the core of the movie and the events themselves (for the most part) are actually true.
If you have an ounce of honor or chivalry in your bones, this movie hits hard.
its because they're conditioned to like it, that's what happens when 2 atomic bombs were dropped.
@@SouthPaw718 "honor" is just a myth.
Actors, director and composer at top of their games. A gem of cinema.
I saw this in theaters when it first came out. This is storytelling at its finest level. It was the only time I have been in a full theater that was absolutely silent, where you could see tears on every face.
I wish I was in yours then. In mine there were few gasp and some emotional, but not for long. It's the only movie so far that left me in a daze plus full of heroic spirit walking out (plus some others) but most were already random chatting at the credits like usual and of course exiting the room. Fortunately I was so immersed I only felt the mundane of real life when in the entrance hall again.
I saw Schindler's List in theaters. That audience reaction was equally muted.
"You have your honor again. Let me die with mine." Such a powerful moment.
Katsumoto recognized the significance of the moment.
If he survived, then his legacy would be one of defeat and the shame that followed as he was powerless to stop Omura.
In his death, in dying in this way, in that moment, his death carried more weight than his life ever could.
This movie stresses me out, pulls at my heart strings, makes me cry, shows forgiveness, courage....heart! One of my ALL TIME FAVORITES! LIKE EVER
This soundtrack probably hits harder for me than any other in the world. It's just filled with so much emotion.
and so much peace. When I hear this music I believe in peace on earth.
true but, Uncle Iroh's soldier boy still hits harder, when he sings at the grave of his son.
@@LordArthex How could I forget that. "YUUUUUULLLLEEEE"
@@LordArthex Don’t know if you’ve heard it, but the score from the movie "Dragonheart" (by Randy Edelman) is also one of the best of all time. Specifically the track called "To the Stars". I highly recommend checking out the soundtrack.👍🏼😁
Hans Zimmer’s best work alongside Gladiator
“We cannot forget……. Who we are, or where we come from” chills every time. Brilliant movie
My mother was Japanese from Osaka. This movie has always been special and the honor of the Samurai code has its place in my soul as a Christian here in the States. Honor and integrity is a trait sorely lacking in our country right now.
amen !
Hats off to Ellie. Every day she takes the time to do her eye make up despite the fact that she knows she's probably going to cry it all off.
lmao
and it's the second time she cries it off, with this movie.
I'm sure there will be other second-timers.
Probably my favorite Tom Cruz movie. For once his character seems human and not some kind of superhero cartoon.
Cruise's career didnt start with action movies, its just that after Mission Impossible took off, he started making it a regular thing with other action movies too, but he's a very capable dramatic actor as well.
Well, in Rain Man, his character went from an angry, impatient, selfish, uncaring jerk to a loving big brother with compassion and patience who learned the important lesson of love and loyalty from his autistic younger brother. Rain Main was a very touch moving about humanity and also no superhero crap.
Agreed this movie and Collateral
Many people over look his older roles and this role in particular. He’s successful for a reason, the man can act
Have you seen his older films? There’s a reason why Tom Cruise career took such a peak and still is.
I've seen this movie a hundred times. Each and every time I always wind up shedding the biggest man tears by the end. Gets me every time.
Lia and Ellie, you are two of the lovliest souls I've ever encountered! You exude such empathy and compassion for the struggles of fellow humans, but also possess the fire, grit, and fervor that suggests great loyalty and passionate courage in defence of your beautiful relationships. These simple moments of connection, as we all watch and experience these stories together, are a genuine good in a world that seems so often divided and at odds with itself. Thank you for all the joy and heartwarming moments you bring. You are wonderful! 🥰
Very GOOD said:)
Finding a movie that doesn't make Lia cry is my new goal in life.
You have a weird life.
She's probably seen a few comedies on the channel already, lol!
her cry is just show
Kung Fu Hustle
This is my #1 favorite movie
The Homies are killin it with the movie selections lately. I’m always excited to see what’s next, wish I could support more.
There is no such thing as #2 favorite movie, because then it's not your favorite movie.
Favorite movie is by definition number 1.:P
@@OriginalPuro you don’t have a 2nd favorite movie? ;) I bet you do! I see what you mean tho, it’s my California slang I suppose. I always enjoy a fellow smart @$$!
Me 2 😢😭❤️✌️
Ken Watanabe steals every moment he's on screen.
Right!
This is an amazing movie. It shows how a man should be…bold, brave, respectful, cunning…and love for his woman and country.
Making a 40 year old man cry. INCREDIBLE REACTION!
Thank you for this❤️
I love how you girls absorb the whole emotion of the movie. It was a well-done beautiful movie. And it's refreshing to find movie reactors that doesn't talk too much during the movie but instead focus on everything that is going on.
Much respect to you ladies.
The original work of this movie is modeled on Japan's last civil war, the Battle of the South. The name of the model is "Takamori Saigou" My 4th and 5th generation grandfather has died. My fifth grandfather was a close friend and was retired at the time, and I just wanted to see the "Saigou" outing, but suddenly I brought my sword to my house and died. The fifth generation of his son fought until the end, and like the movie, he was "Harakiri" at the age of 25 and pierced the last SAMURAI. The two tombs are now sleeping in the same place as "Takamori Saigou.
The dress up scene between Algren and Taka was intentionally sensual. The writers wanted intimacy with barely any skin contact apart from the kiss at the end. In my view one of the most romantic scenes ever in cinema.
Reminds me very much of the shaving scene in Phenomenon
That scene screamed sexual tension
I've never seen another scene in anything that approached that level of intimacy with no sexual contact. That scene is a masterpiece.
Tom Cruz is amazing in this movie. He’s one of the reasons why the last samurai is my favorite movie of all time
You're right, but Ken Watanabe is not inferior to him, in my opinion.
I will cry. A scene where a soldier kneels down on his hat.
The soldiers were at war, but the samurai were different.
The samurai was wondering "how to reach the noble end".
The same death is different.
The soldier probably knelt because he noticed it.
The soldier thought, "What a noble death!"
An incredible movie. Among the top in my list - right along with Shawshank redeption, green mile..etc Great reaction from two lovely people that have heart and soul
In my mid-20s I bought the DVD and watched it probably a dozen times over just a few years time. Amazing film
As Katsumoto is dying he is looking at the falling blossoms he realizes and says, "Perfect. They are ALL perfect."
Remember earlier he talks about cherry blossoms and says "A perfect blossom is a rare thing. You could spend your life looking for one. And it would not be a wasted life."
This might be one of the most underrated movies ever. So damn good!
"Perfect.
They are all perfect."
Referring to each blossom being perfect, stop chasing that one special event, when every day is special and perfect in it's own way.
Live NOW, basically.
This film was a masterpiece
I love that, often, when women are confronted with what happens within not just the human heart, but the *male* heart, that they are brought to tears...
Ken Watanabe is such a wonderful actor. With just his eyes, he tells a story. Even when the Emperor offers Katsumoto's sword to Omura, you can "feel" Katsumoto's presence.
This movie and Man on Fire… the endings of these films just crush me no matter how many times I see them. Regardless… they’re still two of my all time favourites!
Probably my favorite Tom Cruise film. The ending gets me every time 😭 Thanks for sharing! 💯❤️
I’m Japanese and I really enjoyed your reaction😌 Thank you for watching and loving “Last samurai”. Me as a Japanese, I love this film too.
This movie make me love Japan even more then before... I love the Spirit of the Samurai!
11:09
*Man gets be-headed*
Ellie: “oh wow this is so cool 😌”
I love ellie 😂
Out of the four of you, seeing Ellie cry is most heartbreaking as she is usually big smiles and joy, I just love out open and attune she and the others are with their emotions. But then again, I defy anyone who doesn't get even the slightest bit choked up at this movie.
I still can't believe how fitting the final score is when the last scene fades out.
映画の内容はフィクションだけど、日本人の魂を伝えてくれていると思う。日本人は負けると分かっていても絶対に逃げないし死ぬまで戦い続ける、大切なものを守るために。日本人の先人たちに感謝したい。私は日本人に生まれてきて良かった。そしてトム・クルーズ、この映画を作ってくれてありがとう。
日本の心をよく描いた大好きな作品です。お二人のキレイな涙が嬉しかったです。
Loved your reaction...not talking in every single scene and every single moment..just completely invested in it.
Brilliant film..always makes me tear up...music's just epic
I saw it on the release date. The audience was very silent, and pretty much everyone stayed in their seat. They were mesmerized by what was happening on the screen. It’s one of my favorites.
This movie is unbelievably powerful anyone who doesn't feel anything throughout this movie has lost touch with themselves and their sense of honour
Every time I see Ellie cry it makes me want to fly over and give her a huge hug.
Have you ever watched the extended version of Dances with Wolves?
It is one of my favorite and most beautiful movies. You'll love it.
Remember when I started martial arts training I smashed an expensive vase with a Katana. Did Japanese Jujitsu which was the forerunner of Judo, BJJ and Aikido.
Find a girl that looks at you like she does at him at 36:21 and you'll be the happiest man on earth
You guys should watch "Glory" from 1989. Same director as Last Samurai, and a really damn good cast. Story about the first black American soldier regiment around the time of the Civil War.
oh hell nah not that blm stuff.
@@erratas1952 If that shit is "blm stuff" then they'd be right to say all that looting and rioting has been reparations.
I've watched this movie so many times and I always usually get emotional and cry abit to this.
He may have at last found a small major of peace that we all seek and few of us EVER FIND.....it his the soul.
One of my all-time favorite movies & definite Tom Cruise's greatest!
Talk about the greatest drama action movie of all time, The Last Samurai ⚔️⛩🐉 I love japanese samurai cultures. This is probably the best acting in tom cruise career that he ever done. Ken Watanabe is brilliant. Such a raw emotion, the action & cinematography. Again truly a masterpiece. Excellent pick, Homies ❤️
I also saw your video on "life is beautiful" and since I had already seen both films I don't understand why you made me cry so much. Maybe because I can't stand when women cry ... please don't cry anymore otherwise I lose my male identity! thanks for your videos ... you are very emotional. Brave! a hug from Rome
I recommends the movie letters from Iwo Jima (2006) from the Japanese perspective in world war 2. It is a hard to forget movie.
No matter how many Bulgarian beauties they bring in, Ellie will always be the Queen.
Loved your reaction to this movie!!
As a sidenote to this movie, Sabatons song "Shiroyama" is about the last stand the samurai made in this movie.
The Japanese have "the aesthetics of losing."
Exactly this movie symbolizes it.
My favorite movie :) Hans Zimmer's blend of string and wind instruments in gorgeous! :) 💘💗💗
Even if this movie over-simplifies the real “Satsuma Rebellion” of the last Samurai, as a movie it has an epic sense of grandeur and powerful, moving conviction that understandably gripped Lia and Ellie. A bit of “an emotional masterpiece” sums it up perfectly.
yea who gives af its not a history ch doc
Wonderful reaction ladies. One of my favorite movies of all time and I cry every time I watch it. 😪
Els so pure. She knows these movies will break her heart. But she watches them with those close to her anyway. Bless your soul you good sort. There aren't enough people like you on this big ball we call earth. Be well big sis. Be well.
Great reaction video tho. Michelle. I'm glad you connected to this so much. Beautiful understanding.
Man I always forget how old this movie is
It's allowed to cry at the end of the battle. A scene portraying one of the rarest things that ever happened in war, but did indeed happen a handful of times in history. The army of the side that won, showed respect to the side that was defeated.
Like I said before.... the gun a cowards weapon. The sword a weapon of honor!!!! Also a true masterpiece!!!!👏🙌🙏👌👍
Ehh, that's missing the point. The ultimate goal of war is to win. A weapon that enables you to do that more easily and with less risk to yourself is simply a superior weapon. The samurai themselves understood this: they used guns when they got the opportunity.
When she dresses him in armor, it's one of the most sensual scenes ever.
Such a beautiful people, such a beautiful culture.... It's a shame it had to change so much in the name of progress, just like so many other amazing cultures throughout history
Another equally but different emotional masterpiece is ..LEGENDS OF THE FALL
-Brad Pitt, Anthony Hopkins, Aidan Quinn, Julia Ormond
One of my favorite movies ever.. thanks for your fantastic reaction.
I think we need to get the Homies a "cry proof" mascara sponsorship
35:11 One of the best lines in movie history.
Another movie I would recommend watching from the director of this movie (Ed Zwick) is "Glory" which tells the story of the 54th Massachusetts Regiment in the American Civil War. It has Morgan Freeman, Denzel Washington, and Matthew Broderick.
The perfect blossom is a rare thing. You could spend your life looking for one, and it would not be a wasted life.
Side Note: Tom Cruz does all of his own Stunts in all of his movies.
greatest movie I ever watched at age 13 the movie that got me addicted to samurais The scene when they are going to attack again kasimodo when they're on the horses and stuff the thunder of the horses footsteps shaking the concrete floor at the theater when I saw this in the theater it was phenomenal it's the greatest scene to test out your subwoofers on your system if they're good LOL
The samurai are nothing but the last of their dying breed.
The end of this movie is amazing.
Such a great movie, so much emotions with a lot of meanings. Thank you for sharing with us!
"We cannot froget who we are or where we come from."
Me deleite con la respuesta de ambas a la pelicula.
Lo disfrute mucho. Gracias por ser tan sensibles. Saludos
As others have mentioned, you ladies would love Dances With Wolves.
This movie was great. Ken Watanabe & Tom Cruise's best performance in my opinion.
Can I get a thumbs up for them to watch The 13th Warrior?
Merry Christmas! ⛄🎄
13th Warrior is my shit. love that movie.
Emperor: “we can not forget who we are”.
Every German: “okay, let’s start World War 3!!!!”
Before I die, I want to design my own set of traditional Samurai armor. And I want to make it by hand. ALL of it... by hand. Even the cloth. There is a very good chance I will not achieve this goal, but it is still something I shall strive for until my death.
MINAGOLOSHIDAAAAA HAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII (Japanese Battle Cry after Ninja Attack) basically “ALL CLEAR, ALL DEAD?” YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As always I love your compassion.
I would love to see you girls react to An Officer and a gentleman with Richard Gere but have tissues ready for one of the most iconic endings ever
Don't remember if anyone has suggested this already, but you should add War Horse to your list
Best reaction to this movie. Well done and continue to do more
King Leonidas: Tonight we dine in hell.
Kastumoto: That is a very good death.
✨✨The best Tom Cruise movie! Wonderful story, music, everything!
I love Japan and its fascinating history. That's why this movie is very special to me.
Good evening, Ladies ... ✨✨
This is a true historical events
but the film maker made some creative freedom. The American Captain is actually French to mention a few. Kindly research if interested about the true history.
I would love to see your reaction to The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. Underrated gem of a movie with probably my favorite ending I did not see coming.
and also Deliverance, a cinematic masterpiece of film.
Uhh, after all, that means that samurai were employed as guards for the emperor and aristocrats, but because they exceeded their status and accumulated too much power over long time, so they were doomed to perish, , , right？？
ラストサムライの外国人男性は実在している人物で確かフランス人だったと思います。
海外でもフランスでもその男性については知られてないけど古い書物に男性の名前が書かれている。
~They are all perfect~ 🌸🌸🌸
'Emotional Masterpiece' 🙏
Ninjas have feelings too, you know? It's hard to be stealthy all the time and meet new people
(:
Lia & Ellie: champions at your job!
Nice best Tom Cruz role
Ps: Nvm, his best role is in interview with a vampire
Also my 2 favourite Tom cruise films. Hard to decide. He’s talented
We want more Lia!!!!
You don’t quit as a soldier. You don’t surrender. You don’t give up. Even if the odds are awful, you can’t win on your knees and you disgrace your people.
Ninjas attack.
"They don't have any chance!"
Samurai utterly destroy ninjas.
