    CLIP DESCRIPTION:
    Algren's (Tom Cruise) determination and strong will against Ujio (Hiroyuki Sanada) impress the watching villagers.
    FILM DESCRIPTION:
    Edward Zwick returned to the director's chair for the first time since 1998's The Siege with this sweeping period drama set in 19th-century Japan. After centuries of relying on hired samurai for national defense, the Japanese monarchy has decided to do away with the warriors in favor of a more contemporary military. Tom Cruise stars as Nathan Algren, a veteran of the U.S. Civil War who is hired by the Emperor Meiji to train an army capable of wiping out the samurai. But when Algren is captured by the samurai and taught about their history and way of life, he finds himself conflicted over who he should be fighting alongside. Billy Connelly, Tony Goldwyn, and Ken Watanabe co-star.

    The reason this is my favorite Tom Cruise movie is because most of the acting is felt instead of spoken.Not many movies seem to focus on this anymore.

    I love how this scene shows the difference between the two cultures. The Samurai devote their lives to the perfection of whatever they pursue, and they move with grace and power. However, they accept when they have been bested humbly and with respect. Algren sees defeat as an invitation to try again, coming back harder and faster than before. He blunders and fails constantly, but he doesn’t care about winning. He shows his strength in his willingness to come back for more. It’s a concept unfamiliar and even offensive to his opponent, who lashes out at him in anger.
    Algren later on encourages Katsumoto to adopt the same mentality when fighting the Japanese army after having lost so much. Katsumoto in turn teaches Algren throughout the film how to find peace in life and regain his lost honor. The film does a brilliant job of showing both culture learning from each other and eventually working towards a common goal. (Or, Nathan could be running headlong into danger because he’s borderline suicidal at this point. Either works).

      Algren may have been a depressed alcoholic with little to no prospects in the USA, but he still had a glimmer of hope in him. That's what Katsumoto saw when he looked on Algren for the first time, he saw Algren as a wounded tiger. This scene represents Algren's fighting spirit, or "Toshi", restarting his soul in new surroundings.

The evolution from disdain to respect that he shows for Capt. Algren, throughout the film, I thought, was the most valuable piece of character development.

Algren at this point in the movie represents the encroachment of the world into Uijo's village. Every time he gets back up after Uijo beats him down, it seems to scare him more than just annoy him.

    I love how in this scene Ujio starts off calm and more so tries to disarm Nathan (stirkes him in the chest with the kashira/pommel of the sword, waits, and then strikes Nathans sword in reaction to his attack rather than striking his wrist or body straight away), he knocks his sword away and walks away. Nathan gets up again and yet Ujio keeps relatively calm and collected, again he knocks Nathan down and knocks away the sword and walks away. Nathan wont give up which angers Ujio and makes him lose his composure, instead of giving up willingly Nathan keeps fighting until he physically cant anymore, and although this frustrates Ujio, i think this ultimately earns his respect and admiration. Despite this film being romanticized and not super historically accurate i think the choreography, the soundtrack, the story and line delivery was all amazing and told a compelling story. Nathan a broken man who is not afraid of death but even wishes for it, yet fights tooth and nail till the end for what he cares for. The film has contrasting ideas as a huge theme, life and death, differing views on the meaning of honour, the new vs the old, tradition vs modernisation. Nathan is the bridge between the rift, "the warrior in whom the old ways have joined the new" and i think the film demonstrated this amazingly. i hope we get a 4k uhd blu-ray of this film in the near future since a lot of movies are being remastered recently.

      While I like this movie for its plot and soundtrack, The Last Samurai romanticizes the Satsuna Rebellion the same way Gods and Generals romanticizes the Confederacy. The samurai benefited from the caste system of Japan’s feudal age, and the Modernization was tearing down that caste system. So they were fighting for their prestige as well as their traditions

    @LevCallahan 2 роки тому +4

    The reason this is a particularly powerful scene is because of the Japanese ideal behind getting back up after being struck down. It was a trait that was taught to children, and was thought to only be present in their culture, seeing other, foreign people outside Japanese influence who often stayed down after being struck. The Japanese proverb behind the teaching goes, "nana korobi ya oki", which roughly means "seven times down, eight times up".
    Nathan's character does this, which is why everyone around him is mildly shocked to see a foreigner displaying as much resilience. The scene, I imagine, is specifically aimed at the Japanese audiences watching this movie, who know just how important this is to indicate how Nathan is a different kind of man: a man like them.
