Review of The Last Samurai (2003) by Sean D — 12 Jan 2016
A classic in my eyes. The Japanese equivalent of Dances with Wolves but with more of a reference to an important period in Japan's history, the Meiji Period. Incredibly beautiful shots, soundtrack, sets and an exceptionally fictional approach to the rise of modern Japan.
Even with an American protagonist, his rejection of the American way provided a neutral ground. Something not seen as often in films with a similar premise.
