Thank you for watching the video, It means a lot to me .
I will leave this pinned message here to REMIND everyone that i do not have TELEGRAM and there is no GIVEAWAY. Those you see are bot scams . Keep yourself safe and know that I would not ask for your info. ❤ ❤
Not a true story
Good luck honey❤😊
When Katsumoto asks the fate of the 300 at Thermopylae and Algren says they died to the last, Katsumoto's grin is one of my favorite moments.
To die in an otherwise victorious battle that changes the course of history is perhaps the second greatest type of victory a warrior like Katsumoto can ask for.
The greatest would be to die in a hopeless battle and still win the war because your sacrifice was that powerful.
Katsumoto's death in this battle was infinitely more powerful than his survival would have been. If they had won and captured or even killed Omura, the humiliation for the Japanese government would have been immeasurable. Without Omura there to be a political bastard, the young Emperor could be tricked into signing even more deeply unfavorable treaties.
Had he lost and retreated, the last war cry of the samurai would have been silenced by Katsumoto's echoing shame. Had he been captured, it would have been confounded by the various humiliations Omura would inflict upon Katsumoto before killing him.
But by dying in this battle, by going out on HIS terms, nobody else's, charging into a hopeless battle with weapon in hand and a battle cry in his throat, his message was infinitely louder than his defeat could have been.
He just needed Algren to carry that message to the Emperor.
The Spartans at Thermopylae had a similar situation. They made the Persians pay so dearly that they bought the rest of Greece enough time to muster up their armies.
Also, the battle at Thermopylae actually had a few thousand Greeks, up to 4,000. After they were outflanked by the goat path, Leonidas commanded all non-Spartan forces to retreat and vowed to protect their retreat. 1000-1500 other Greeks stayed behind along with the 300 Spartans, and they were, to a man, slaughtered.
Total losses put the Greeks at around 2,000, including the first few days of battle, and 20,000 Persians.
Now, 20,000 is only 2% of 1,000,000, but modern estimates actually put the Persian force at up to 300,000, so that 20,000 is suddenly nearly a tenth of your force wiped out for what was barely a dent into the combined Greek military. 10 Persians for every dead Greek.
So imagine their terror when they rocked up to Plataea and saw ~100,000 Greeks staring back at them.
I think the self stabbing (seppuku), which is not only stabbing, it's also moving the blade from left to right to slice up the belly, is to simulate the worst possible death you can have on the battlefield. It's done to show, that the samurai can endure the pain and suffering, and was not fleeing from the enemy to avoid such a death. Chopping his head off is done as act of mercy, to show he has suffered enough to prove his point.
The second, the one that cuts off the head, is also there to behead the person committing seppuku before he shows pain as that is part of the ritual suicide is doing that without showing pain.
The head is not fully removed, a flap of skin is left connecting the head to the body. Only criminals are beheaded
@@CraigSegger Oh, wow. o_o
In Japan what we call "showing your heart" is located in your stomach. You cut the belly to show you're heart to everyone. If you can make the 2nd full cut it's more impressive. It shows how determined you are.
what about the act of cutting the top knot of one's hair? i don't understand the meaning of that, does it mean some kind of ultimate disrespect or insult?
The ones who voted for this are the true heroes here
What is heroism? push buttons?
why? why would you vote someone who doesn`t know the japanese didn`t use horses for carriages?
For me this is the best Tom Cruise movie and it has one of the most beautifull and underpreciated music scores from Hans Zimmer, the emotion that the music transmits in this film is unbelievable!!!
I’m not of Tom Cruise as a public persona, but the guy has been in a lot of great movies. He does an amazing job in this film! Great reaction!
Setting aside his personal weirdness, the dude can act his ass off.
If you ever watch any behind the scenes of any of his movies, you have to respect the work. Dude is 100% in on making the best movie possible and always thinking of the audience.
@@MrMpa31 Look at his forearms in this movie during the training scenes. He put in the hard work.
this one and Tropic Thunder
I feel the same way about mel Gibson public persona ehh mel Gibson in films heck yeah lol
Perhaps Tom’s most underrated movie. Love it. Your reaction was very genuine. Hope you feel better soon.
This movie is far from underrated...
Underrated is perhaps the most underrated word across all of UA-cam comment sections.
Well, it only has a 66% at Rotten Tomatoes, 55% at Metacritic, and a 7/10 at IMDb. It had a production budget of $140M, yet only grossed $110M in the US and Canada. So yeah, it’s criminally underrated, IMO.
@@joeybossolo7 what reviews say about a movie doesn't mean it's underrated. The new Mario movie got ripped by most critics and made $377m in its first weekend. Review websites and what people actually think of a movie usually don't correlate with each other...
@@joeybossolo7 and the movie made $456m worldwide at the box office... so..
My favorite line in the movie was when Katsumoto handed him back his journals . And said when I took these. You were....my enemy. Very powerful statement.
One thing that you said amongst the many comments stuck with me in this reaction. "To be a good soldier, it's not about being able to hit the target. It's about courage and being able to work under pressure."
You couldn't be more right.
"I'm going to shave your eyebrows in your sleep and then I'm going to unalive you." I laughed so hard I had to pause the reaction. Why go through the trouble of shaving someone's eyebrows (while trying not to wake them) only to do them in? That came out of left field and made my day. Cheers from Florida.
It is sad that people don't dare speak English any more, but rather have to make up words.
Kill, "unalive". Very sad.
The last battle scene always makes me cry. There is no greater honor you can give to another than your respect. This is a lesson many of us seem to have forgotten. We need to learn it again.
56:30 "I was not expecting to CRY! Would you expect to cry when you hear 'The Last Samurai'? Samurai don't make you cry! I'm sick!" Ah Madalina, I've seen this film so many times, but seeing you cry made me tear up as well. It's the magic of a story well told. Great reaction!
Edward Zwicks films never fail. "Blood Diamond", "Glory", and "Defiance" are also amazing
Don’t forget Legends Of The Fall and The Siege.
@@sheldondyck8631 I still need to watch both of those
@@JCastle12495 both are great. Legends Of The Fall is the best of the two but both are worth watching for sure.
Glory is another must watch.
What about "Jack Reacher: Never go back"?
Fun fact: The leader of the samurai rebellion, portrayed here as Katsymoto, was called Sakyo Komatsu. After he had fallen in the final battle, his companions took his head and hid it, so the enemy could never confirm that he died.
"They see me rolling, they hating" after Nathan chopped off his head might be the funniest thing I've seen in these reaction videos. Totally unexpected.
Well played, Biss. Like your stuff. Keep it up.
I must have watched close to 20 reactions to this beautiful film and honestly it's a perfect film. Every scene is a work of art and the soundtrack is unbeatable. I cry through every reaction without fail. It seems universally too thankfully. ❤
I always thought that the perfect blossom was a metaphor for the beautiful things in life. True love, honor, friendship. A life in search of these things, even if never obtained, is not a wasted one. Great reaction as always!
This is one of my all time favorite movies, I love watching people see it for the first time. It really is an amazing film and super underrated imo. Great reaction!
43:35 “he’s weak sauce”
i know we’re supposed to be serious here, but that cracks me up.
I was more than skeptic when I saw Tom Cruise was going to star a movie called The Last Samurai. Having practiced martial arts for decades, I had a great respect for Bushi-do (Japanese way of the warrior), but I'm glad I watched the movie. It has become one of my favorites of all time.
You don't have to apologize for your words and reactions. I think they are great. In my opinion, the problem is with YT. They want to control language, creators and content and have everybody under one cookie cutter format. I think it is absurd, but sadly there is no open competing platform where we could all move to, so they take advantage of it and we have to deal with their rules.
Japan, its culture, its history, and its people are so interesting, and inspiring to me. I think there are aspects which many Westerners find to be lacking in our own culture. The conflict between progress, and entrenched tradition is not uniquely Japanese, but it does make me wonder if humanity might figure out at some point, how to hold on to the best parts of both.
I think the nature of progressive politics is that of destructive youth minded revolution and rebellion, I have never witnessed preservation ever enter a progressives mind. The idea that Conservative society never progressed is non sense because the influence of trade and conflict with other nations in the history of ethnic nations added specific cultural influences in art and technology to them over time. I am not convinced that loud Cultural Revolutionary political personalities like those that caused the French Revolution or the American Cultural Revolution can be convinced to spare destroying anything because they don't like to listen to their elders who they seem to think they are so much more intuitively smarter than. The concept of all inclusivity of everything from art work to one's own gender identity these days will not allow for impressive new creations of structured "conservative" style art/music/architecture to be formed like conservative historic societies made. Progressive upstarts and activists think real human society started with their ideology and pop art, but the human race under countless civilizations and empires built up structured mature rich styles of art and architecture of their societies that can be identified thousands of years later for their form and the influences from the select other cultures who influenced their style even through conflicts. If progress was meant to be for the better then it would by nature be a much more conservative limited/controlled mature thoughtful act rather than spawned most often from destructive revolution and aggressive emotional mob activist politics which seems to catch the imaginations of individuals especially young people better than anything Conservative does. Personally I find progressive politics to be immature youth popular but lacking in thoughtful mature personal argument substance rather than what talking point arguments has been given to them by ideological mentors. If woke people came to this village they would be all over them for not using non binary pronouns or any number of other sins.
You should read the autobiography of Yukichi Fukuzawa, he was a really cool dude that had a lot of great ideas, and he lived during the time period this movie takes place.
Check out the Japanology shows. They're really cool.
Gaijin...
@@UmbraFulgur And?
This is by far the best reaction that I have seen you do. I think perhaps the fact that you were sick took your mind off of trying to react a certain way and let you truly show yourself to us and genuinely express your emotions. Don't be embarrassed by letting us see what you truly feel. It was a thing of beauty from start to finish. I have so much respect for you after allowing us this glimpse into your soul. Thank you and I hope you feel better soon.
Could not agree with you more! My favorite reaction of hers by far. She got very upset with me bc I commented on her Braveheart reaction saying she didn't fully open herself up to the movie to allow herself to feel all the elements it had to offer. Much more genuine here
When Tom Cruise first arrives at the Samurai village, the "fever" he has is withdrawals from alcohol. He drank to stop remembering what he had done in the war. The samurai wouldn't let him continue being an alcoholic, so his body started being overwhelmed by withdrawls/remembering.
This - for my money - is one of Tom Cruise's best films, and the story of the Samurai is a beautiful and sad one: no matter how many times I see it the final charge, Katsumotos final moments - the ''They are all perfect'' line... it always gets me!
Great reaction! ☺☺
47:51 "I Belong To The Warrior in Who The Old Ways Have Joined the New"
I have watched this movie a thousand times and still love it. Definitely in my top 3 movies of all time.
This is one of my mothers favourite movies, I never understood why till I got older and watched it myself with a more mature thought process.
Your ability to understand everything going on is fantastic compared to other reactions! So glad you liked this movie.
This movie is an absolute Masterpiece and the acting in this is superb.
Your accent, the way you talk, the emotion/facial expressions is adorable ^.^
"they see me rollin'... they hating --- that was his head" LOL I haven't laughed that hard in a month. Thanks for that moment. Amazing reaction. Keep up the great work!
Troy(2004), Alexander(2004) and the directors cut of Kingdom of Heaven(2005) are also all great military films of the ancient and medieval world.
Alexander? With Colin Ferrell? That movie was trash 🤣
Naw not Alexander. But Troy and Kingdom of Heaven yes 🔥
Everyone 's A Critic Yet I Agree one should view All 3 Epics if only for Historical Value , Sill I own All 3 in My Over 5 K DVD Collection 😎
Note . many movies missing like
1) Excalibur
2) King Author
3) Joan of Arc
4) The Messenger
5) Cleopatra
And Many more 🎥👍👍😎
@@Dave-hb7lx It's all outdated crap. Are you going to watch them now?
for those who dont know, Katsumoto's last line "they are all perfect" is also the last line in his poem that he was writing. Japanese poems, at least the most famous one - haiku, is a poem that goes on 3 lines with the first having 5 syllables, the second having 7 syllables, and the last line has 5 syllables. he does tell algren in the movie the first two lines in his poem and was struggling to find the last one
It's been a long while since I've watched the Last Samurai. Excellent film. It was a pleasure to "watch" it again with you.
His arrows are on point.........I was NOT ready for that!
Damn, she is just incredibly pretty. Love the reactions, love the shows and movies she has chosen to react to.
This is also one of my favourite movies and it was so much better than I expected it to be at the time. And again, Hans Zimmer delivering an amazing soundtrack.
Your reactions feel very sincere, not as hyped as some other reactors. Keep it up! 👍
This is the pride of the Japanese to honor authority and give their life for their country. Failure is not an option in this time among the Japanese. This is also what made the Japanese tough to fight in WWII.
14:35 Seppuku is the ritual suicide of a defeated or shamed samurai. As a samurai cannot bear the shame of defeat, they take their life to retain their honor. A battlefield seppuku like in the movie uses whatever blade is available, and requires the samurai to plunge the blade into their left abdomen, and cut left-to-right, hopefully damaging internal organs or the abdominal aorta. There is a kaishakunin, usually someone very close to the samurai or, in this case, the highest ranking samurai on the field of battle, that performs the kaishaku, or ritual beheading of the samurai. Some rituals of seppuku also have the blade turned vertical after the horizontal cut then thrust upwards with hopes of hitting the heart or one of the major arteries, although the most brutal form of it is jumonji giri (literally "cross cut") where the samurai makes the left to right cut, then pulls the blade out, turns it vertically, and then plunges it back in, cutting up and across the original cut to make a cross that looks like the plus ( + ) sign.
Jumonji giri was mostly reserved for the most heinous of crimes that could still be absolved through seppuku, or when the samurai had no kaishakunin to behead them. The kaishakunin was to strike when the samurai had finished their cut, or were in danger of showing pain or crying out in pain. The kaishaku in the movie is actually a pretty bad one, as the head came completely off. A properly done kaishaku will cut the spine, most of the neck, both arteries and the trachea, but leave the muscles and skin on the front of the neck intact so the head will flop down into the chest. A full beheading like the one in the movie was reserved for criminals that were to be executed and they had no honor to maintain
"You see me rolin.." maked me laugh so hard!
"I think that look at the end said more than words could ever.." I had the same reaction...there are no words from a father to a dying son.
Not a big Tom Cruise fan myself but this was a good one. She should also for sure review A Few Good Men with Tom Jack Nicholson Demi Moore Kevin Bacon and Keifer Sutherland absolutely killing it and for my money one of the greatest films of all time. Also if she likes Kiefer Sutherland "The Lost Boys" (1987)is a must 🎉
I've discovered there's TWO Tom Cruise's... Tom Cruise the ACTOR and Tom Cruise the MOVIE STAR... While the Movie star does maybe 85% of his films once and awhile you get a glimpse of Tom Cruise the actor and he's always delivered. Rainman.. Magnolia.. Born of the 4th of July and Collateral.. Would rather see the Actor than the movie star but it seems he's having too much fun being Tom the movie star....
my favorite line: "i will tell you,how he lived..."
There is great cinema productions coming from all over the world - Korea, India, and Scandanavia are just a few ... but what Hollywood put out in the 1990s and 2000s has such universal appeal and incredible story telling that a Romanian woman like Bisscute can get so immersed in this type of movie says a lot. The Golden Age of filmmaking.
21:25
What's great about this scene is the clash of two cultures and two opposite philosophies - in eastern culture (represented by Ujio, the samurai), honor comes from recognizing when you're beaten and accepting your defeat. In western culture (represented by Algren), honor comes from never giving up no matter what, which baffles Ujio.
You are the first Reactor that I've seen who appreciated the Cherry blossom thing.
I just about spit out my drink when you looked at the camera and said "Yes! GO! Full attack!"
one of the best Movies of the last few years i have seen and i´ve seen a couple Movies in the last 48 Years ...
“It doesn’t matter if you have a machine gun”
*30 minutes later* 😂😂😂
Yep. As soon as she said that I thought just wait 😢
The most difficult thing of being a soldier is living with your actions!
Wonderful reaction. The cut/edit really respects this amazing movie.
And don't mind that you're at a loss for words sometimes after these movies. Your reaction and comments on the go give a good idea already.
I have never understood why ppl tend to dislike Tom Cruise. The man is a phenomenal actor and this is his greatest performance in my opinion.
Insecure people are jealous of people like Cruise --- they will never have his money or fame or talent, so they only react with hate --- it shows all their flaws
I love that the intimate scene between them has no sex. Nothing against a good shaggin' but this was way more emotional, intimate and heartfelt. It was the right decision.
Okay, Miss Biss!! I have criticized you sometimes in your past reactions, but I have to tell you that you were incredible in this one!! This is one of my favorite movies and you did it justice. Thank you!!
This is one of my all time favorite movies. It’s actually loosely based on a real story, but he was actually a retired French officer.
If you liked this director, you should watch GLORY (1989)! Denzel Washington, Morgan Freeman, Ferris Bueller, and Cary Elwes (among many other great actors).
His arrows are on point...that was precious...
Don't be surprised...no one expects to cry during this movie, but everyone cries.
"Your lucky im not a samurai"😂😂😂 love it!
Answering the question about the long hair: The mage, the topknot hair style actually serves as a "cushion" to the helmet not keep scratching your head. So, there is a reason for the long hair, also the "bald" shaved upper part of the head.
Ive seen at least 30 of these reactions and I think this might be my new favorite.
Nathan acquiring the family of the warrior he defeated is the ultimate loot😅
A Small Measure of Peace
Algren: [Pulls sword out to reveal engraved writing: 俺のちんぽちっちゃい] "What does it say?"
Katsumoto: "It says 'first among warriors'"
The rest of Katsumoto's samurai: [giggling]
Glad you enjoyed this one. Memoirs of a Geisha is another good one with Ken Watanabe(Katsumoto).
This movie made me fall in love with Watanabe, following everything he has done since then ... Memoirs of a Geisha and Letters from Iwo Jima are another 2 great movies with Watanabe.
I think in this movie specifically the white tiger was meant to symbolize Tom Cruise's character. The white man becoming a Samurai. I think this is reinforced by the scene where he's captured by the Samurai. He is defending himself with a tiger banner.
Great Reaction Video 🎉
I once asked my friend ... What do you think about when you meditate?
He replied nothing. I then asked how can you think about nothing ❓
He said if you have to think of something ... let it be about only breathing out slowly.
Eventually, even that will become natural and you would have an empty mind.
He was a very wise person.😊
your reaction was the best. Wish I could find someone like you to watch movies with where I am.
"Tell me how he died" "I will tell you how he lived" waterfalls every single time
Have u seen Braveheart. If u like this movie. U will also love braveheart.
I enjoyed your reaction very much - witnessing the emotional impact this beautiful film had on you was a wonderful thing.
This is such a powerful film, the scene towards the end when the soldiers bow down gives me chills every time! Definitely Tom Cruise's best movie!
I remember back in the day when my twin sister bought me this cd movie as a present for our birthday, this is a good movie, I mean the storytelling and everything, you can feel all the emotions at the same time during watching it, and since that day this movie become my top 5 playlist movie all the time. Good reaction, I really appreciate it.
In asian culture (China, Japan etc..) white tiger symbolizes the west as in compass direction or western constellation.
So many great comments you have on this reaction! Happy you enjoyed this movie, I am sure I am not going to be alone with the perspective that you should never have to apologize for enjoying a movie, we (your reactors) back you 100%. Sorry you are not feeling well, but tell yourself to start feeling better, little by little until your belief manifests.
She’s crying 😂 we’re all like “one of us-one of us”
this movie was inspired by the story of a French general named Jules Brunet, who embrassed the rebellion and fought as a samurai. The first and only French samurai of history.
Brunet is buried now at the père lachaise cemetary in Paris.
The director is Edward Zwyck. Great films he's done, and very good at massive battles! He also directed the True story, Glory!
22:47. In Japanese culture, shouting or yelling is considered threatening.
They also do not like big arm movements.
When you bow, bow the same depth and duration.
This movie is almost SO FUCKING PERFECT. It's not perfect only because the kiss was unnecessary. That scene was as romantic as you can hope for.
Wonderful reaction. Thanks for sharing.
"Hello" from Prince Edward Island, Canada. I am new to your channel. It was fun watching you enjoy this movie. I love your laugh. Your instincts are amazing. You read this movie like a book.
Saigo Takamori is known as the Last Samurai of Japan. He lived from 1828 to 1877
and followed the path of the samurai, eventually leading reform in the Meiji govern-
ment and dying for his cause. Hayashi is also regarded as the last Daimyo of Jouzai,
who fought in the Boshin war until 1868 and lived until 1941. The Battle of Shiroyama
in 1877 was fought between the Imperial Japanese Army and the last 500 remaining
members of Saigo Takamori's contingent of samurai warriors.
Hi Biss,
As you know this is a great movie!! your reaction is exactly as it should be IMO. this is a beautiful and touching movie in so many ways! Thanks for reacting to it.
He may have killed her husband in battle but, he also saved her children and brother.
Bisscute, your reaction was perfect. Everything was perfect. Get well soon!
Love that you always call the bald brave samurai Bob like Nathan does 😂
Movie suggestions? The Deer Hunter.. Breaking away...Apocalypto.. Dances with Wolves... Dog Day Afternoon.. Marathon Man.. In America... Cant go wrong watching any of those...
Honor... Honor comes from respect.
To respect others you must respect yourself first.
And respect comes from understanding, accepting the way you are and growing from there.
So, yes. It is a powerful movie and more powerful message.
Landed in Japan in 1867 to train the samurai regiments there, the Frenchman Jules Brunet ended up embracing their cause, joining the insurrection against the emperor. A century and a half later, he will inspire the character of Nathan Algren, portrayed by Tom Cruise in The Last Samurai.
Don’t ever change! Curse away. Lol Great reaction to a great movie. I am completely gutted every time I watch the scene when Katsumoto’s son dies. That look on his face is so heartbreaking. Cheers!
Dances with wolves. Epic movie. Same premise.
Taka is one of the most beautiful women in any film I've ever seen. Her physical features are pretty, of course. But, beyond her features, she has such elegance, grace and depth; she shows respect to others, while also keeping her own perspective; and her eyes speak volumes. Women don't appear in films this way, very often, these days.
Awesome reaction. You gave your full self to the movie and in turn, you were able to feel everything it had to offer. Well done 👏 👍🙏
Harakiri is a samurai honor. It has a different meaning than European executions. This act is an act of respect. It was a shame to live in spite of losing.
This is one of my favourite movies ever: pure art! (and you cannot watch it with only 1 package of tissues haha) Even I as a man used TWO packs of Tempo (thats the same amount as for a Babymetal clip!). Greets from Germany, enjoy!
if you can find it somewhere, check out the old mini-series called Shogun with Richard Chamberlain. it's 6 parts (movies)... the story is similar but it explains a lot more of what's going on.
It's one of my top 5 favorite movies of all time, seeing your reaction was fantastic, you are hilarious and brilliant. Keep the reactions coming and never change.
This movie is just...so inspiring.
Love your reaction ! Thanks for sharing it !
13:35
The white tiger on the banner is Byakko, the Guardian of the West
You just feel the Hatred in that Laughter
Great reaction! We are all crying with you.
