Capt. Nathan Algren (Tom Cruise) is an American military officer hired by the Emperor of Japan to train the country's first army in the art of modern warfare. As the government attempts to eradicate the ancient Samurai warrior class in preparation for more Westernized and trade-friendly policies, Algren finds himself unexpectedly affected by his encounters with the Samurai, which places him at the center of a struggle between two eras and two worlds.

People are in such a hurry to criticize that they miss the point. Algren wasn't the Last Samurai, he was just lucky enough to have been invited on the journey. Everyone who died are the Last Samurai.
The way I interpreted it is that Katsumoto was the last samurai. But this works as well.
3 minutes in. im irish btw. the actor is billy connolly, a well known comedian and actor who is scottish. hes not doing an accent hes speaking in his regualr scottish accent
I know right, I love how people like her that don’t have a clue presumes to think they know all. Billy Connolly is a fine Scottish actor and an awsome comedian.
She was mistaken that's all. It's not a big deal relax
@@dennisrichard4480I felt that too. Billy is iconic. That's so messed up to think he's doing an accent.
Yeah, that was pretty cringe.
She is judging his "Irish" accent like she is an expert.
But he's just speaking with his natural Scottish accent.
I instantly stopped the video to read the comments.
😂
Because Cruise is the star of the film, many misinterpret the story. Katsumoto and his clan are the last Samurai. Algren, though an outsider, comes to deeply respect and appreciate the disciplined and principled Samurai philosophy that allows him to put his own past to rest. He is there as a witness to the end of the Samurai and Bushido way of life, as seen through western eyes.
Well said.
Yeah. He's no white savior, as many go straight to (maybe some of that commentary is still valid though). The story is more of Japanese culture and Samurai way of life being what saves /him/, and he witnesses it just before its death/transition into the modern and more westernized era.
He simply carries Katsumoto's message at the end, a plea to not get so swept up in modernizing Japan that they lose what Japan is. The west is modern, true, but to become modern, Japan doesn't have to become a western nation and forget what it was.
@@MRLuckyE85 And I see it more as the samurai saving him. The guy hated himself and wanted to die until he became one of them.
The guy you made fun of for his bad "Irish" accent is Billy Connolly, one of the UK's greatest stand-up comedians ever. He is "Scottish" and is one of the most iconic contemporary Scotsman. Please be reminded that not every accent spoken by non American whites is Irish though.
He's Scottish, and the accent is real
Tom Cruise has made a lot of great movies over the years, but this one is my favorites
Mine too. Have seen all his films and this is epic and so beautifully shot and choreographed. Ken Watanabe was so brilliant in this. Everyone was perfect in their role.
For me his best work was in collateral which was nominated for an Oscar this is his 2nd best.
@@mrpk1719 I loved Collateral - it was such a different role for him and he was excellent as the villain Vincent. It's one I also rewatch.
“Bad Irish accent” 😂 At least you got crucified for that, it’s fair.
So, I just learned bad Irish = Scottish. Got it. 😂🎉🎉
How dare you Jane 😂😂 Billy Cornelly is a world famous Scottish comedian and hes just speaking normal, not Irish, so for you to say its a bad Irish accent means you really dont know what an Irish accent sounds like 😂. But, apart from that it was a great reaction to this film as always. I love the Japanese culture as well, so fascinating. Keep up the good work team ❤
Love this movie...but I kind of taken aback because of the "fake and bad Irish accent" comment. Definitely not fake and he is Scottish, even if he is of Irish descent. But it's a Scottish accent.
well, she dumb
BIlly is born Scottish and that's his real accent. Its not fake, he has always talked like that.
The Scottish are pretty fucking tired of Americans telling them their Irish accent is fake. lol
And the Canadians are tired of the Scottish calling then Americans 🤔
It is Billy Connolly, is he even putting on an accent in this movie?
these two are Canadian 😂
@@alexto137 from north america? So there fore americans :D
Deal with it, you'll be fine
I hate when English people do Irish accents as well. Luckily, Billy Connolly is a Scottish person doing a Scottish accent 😜
The crazy thing is anyone can meet with Ken Watanabe because he owns a little coffee shop in Kesennuma, Japan (a place which was hit by tsunami) and he often hangs out there, even help to serve the customers and stuff. He is such an amazing guy!
Billy Connolly, greatest SCOTISH standup of all time, is doing a bad Irish accent? JFC...you two...are, just...JFC.
If you want to dunk on someone, you best not miss the basket. "Scottish" has two t's.
@@andrewcrowder4958 You are right, the correct spelling is Scottish. I wouldn't call misspelling a word "missing the basket". I was so genuinely flabbergasted by their ignorance that I didn't even notice I had misspelled.
So insulting for Billy Connolly, the actor is a legend LOL
He was not doing an Irish accent he was using his Scottish accent.
Bad Irish accent? That would probably be because it is a Scottish accent. The actor Billy Connolly is a Scottish Native and is speaking the way he speaks.
"He didn't do an Irish accent!"
"I know, I'M doing an Irish accent!"
Yeah, would be better if you don't from now on.
Tom Cruise's character wasn't The Last Samurai, it was Katsumoto. Sure, Nathan fought with them, but The Last Samurai as the title alludes to is Katusmoto. And no, he didn't go back, or at least we don't know that, that was just a fantasy the narrator had because they don't know what actually happened to him. "no one knows what happened to him" "I like to think..."
I didn't catch that. Thanks!
@@SeeJaneGoTV I'm not sure which part of my comment you're replying to but Katsumoto being The Last Samurai is never stated, just implied, especially with them bowing to him upon his death. Nathan's ending (or lack of) is said in the last few lines. Glad you enjoyed!
I also want to add one beautiful thing this movie adds is the American lives - as is tradition of the hero in western movies, he rides off into the sunset; and as tradition in Japanese film, the heroes all die honorable deaths. A very respectful Easter egg for cinephiles.
Seppuku is a ritualized suicide that restores honor to the warrior who failed in his duties to his Lord and to avoid capture and torture by the enemy once he was defeated.
it doesn't have to be warrior. Anyone who feels that they have been shamed of lost face may consider seppuku to regain their honor, which is why the opportunity was offered by the Emperor to Omura. But you're correct in that it was absolutely adopted by the samurai.
Your shock and surprise that he is staying in the wife’s house of the man/dad he killed in the beginning is warranted. This is not something that is meant to be a cruelty, but is meant to shows the utter difference in culture. Devotion to craft, cause, and selflessness.
Bro why she callin' on "Justin"?What's he gonna do jump inside onto the battlefield and save em all 😭🤣🤣🤣
I take it this is your first time here? if so, welcome and enjoy.
@@Zerus101 actually no, I have been here for a long time but commenting for the first.
@@AmjadAliSyd have you not watched a movie with your girlfriend? It's what they do sometimes 🙂
I find it funny that a Westerner whose first language is English can't distinguish between a Scottish and an Irish accent. I'm Asian and I can recognize several different regional American accents as well as European accents when they speak English.
Its always the whitest chick that talks out their ass about stuff they know nothing about. Or getting offended by half the film.
The problem is half of the British accents we hear are from American and Canadian actors doing fake accents in movies.
@@fluffylittlebear Billy Connelly, the guy who plays Sgt. Gant, is Scottish, so it's not exactly a "fake accent".
@@eatsmylifeYT Never said or even implied that it was. 🤷🏻♂️
@@fluffylittlebear You obviously don't know what "implied" means but whatever.
Took me a long time to realise, but Katsumoto's last words were the completion of his poem about the blossoms. It was a Haiku (7 syllables followed by 5 syllables, ending with 7 syllables). He said "Perfect, they are all perfect"
😢
It's 5,7,5
@@sonofliberty1 You're right, my mistake. The final line is "They are all perfect" 👍
@SirNorm33 what are the first 5 and 7 of the poem?
@@optimistprime2751 I can't remember lol. It's been a while since I've watched the full movie, not even sure if the first two lines are mentioned. I just remember Katsumoto saying to Algren that he was writing a poem about the blossoms, and that it was difficult to find the perfect blossom 🌸 🌸
@SirNorm33 “The perfect blossom is a rare thing. You could spend your entire life looking for one, and it would not be a wasted life.” seems a bit more than 5,7,5. If you're not certain then why are you making up the fact that it's a haiku when it's not?
The idea that samurai considered firearms dishonorable is a pretty big romanticization of the reality. They were quite happy to use guns in that time period, and used them pretty extensively.
Yep. Oda Nobunaga had his troops use them in the late 16th century.
The armor Katsumoto and his troops wear is anachronistic too.
#DatoLevelUp | The #TheLastSamurai film is based on the true story of the Satsuma Rebellion, or Southwest War, as it is known in Japan, the military uprising led by Saigō Takamori, who sought to prevent the disappearance of Samurai values and philosophy, which was being denigrated by the Western model. In recognition of his work as a samurai and his help to the Japanese people, the Meiji government posthumously pardoned him on February 22, 1889 and declared him a national hero.
The character of Captain Nathan Algren is inspired by the story of Jules Brunet, a French military officer who served in the Tokugawa shogunate during the Boshin War in Japan. He had originally been sent to Japan as an artillery instructor with the French military mission of 1867, but adopting its philosophies, refused to leave the country after the shōgun's defeat, and played a leading role in the breakaway Republic of Ezo and its fights against the forces of the Meiji Restoration.
The Director is Edward Zwick, who also Directed "Glory" and "Legends of the Fall" (Which you should do on your channel) the Cinematographer is John Toll who won' back to back Academy Awards for "Legends of the Fall" and "Braveheart"
Its funny how during action she screams "Justin! Justin!" like he can do anything about what is on the screen. 😂
"Seppuku", also called harakiri, is a form of Japanese ritualistic suicide by disembowelment. It was originally reserved for samurai in their code of honour, but was also practised by other Japanese people during the Shōwa era to restore honour for themselves or for their families.
Good old fashioned unadulterated Scottish. Not a hint of Irish in there. Billy Connolly is really well-known.
Filming took place in New Zealand, mostly in the Taranaki region, with mostly Japanese cast members and an American production crew. This location was chosen due to the fact that Egmont/Mount Taranaki resembles Mount Fuji, and also because there is a lot of forest and farmland in the Taranaki region. American Location Manager Charlie Harrington saw the mountain in a travel book and encouraged the producers to send him to Taranaki to scout the locations. This acted as a backdrop for many scenes, as opposed to the built up cities of Japan. Several of the village scenes were shot on the Warner Bros. Studios backlot in Burbank, California. Some scenes were shot in Kyoto and Himeji, Japan. There were 13 filming locations altogether
Thats Billy F-ing Connolly. He isnt even putting on an accent in this movie, its his natural accent. And its scottish not irish
ruclips.net/video/4Rva-H3EWEA/видео.html
during the fight with Ujio, the Samurai are betting on how many moves Ujio takes to win, not all the moves between both Ujio and Algren. :)
This is in my top 5 favorite movies of all time. This is definitely one of Tom Cruise's best films. Ken Watanabe and Cruise are magical together on screen.
40:24 The topknot is a sacred element of Samurai culture. When Nobutada cries out as his topknot is being cut off, it’s like he’s begging his ancestors' forgiveness for allowing himself to be publicly dishonoured like this.
"... it could be Irish, but, like maybe a different area." Yeah. It's called Scotland...
And it's not a Glasgow accent, because you can catch a word here and there on top of only being half drunk. My family is primarily Scottish, English, Welsh and.... You know *hushed tone*... Irish. And of all the freaking accents, my uncle Jim in Glasgow is like if you took a sober (read : 8 pints in) Irish from the sticks and then added Liverpool and removed all enunciation and then sprinkled in some cockney. It's thick, fast, slurred and all using a local dialect. Even the Irish are like, "can't tell if it's drink slang or Welsh before the oppressors gave them the gift of vowels... And why the random laughs mid sentence?"
Shooting children, omg, they wouldn't show that now, would they? If, like these scenes, it develops a crucial backstory for the main character, I certainly hope a current director would show such scenes without fear of some sort of cancellation. It happened, historic films should show us all what happened; if you don't see it, you won't know it.
Be offended by the act, not it's portrayal. Life offends.
Plus there were quite a number of films in the 70s that showed scenes of genocide in the American West -- 'Little Big Man', 'Soldier Blue', and so on. Not really a matter of past and present film-making.
Love the whitest chick in the world is the one going on about "fake irish accents" and getting offended by half the film, yet clearly knows nothing and just blabs on. What an irritating watch this reaction was.
Watanabe received an Oscar nomination for this, his first English language movie. So well deserved!!! And I think he made Cruise bring his 'A game' to each scene they were in together. May be my favorite Cruise movie, too.
Not shot in Japan, all of the exteriors of the village were shot in New Zealand.
When the general killed himself by the sword and asked for his head to be cut off, it was a way samurai viewed death by it being honorable. If you were defeated, they believed it was honorable to kill yourself. It goes back to a long time ago with samurai following bushido.
The samurai was dishonored by being defeated. It's a great honor to be killed by a great warrior. So, he asked the leader.
FYI...Nila Dickson won an Academy Award for Best Costume for "Lord of the RIngs". Nila Dickson was Nominated a few years later for her Costumes in "The Last Samurai"
When he said he left the farm at 17, he meant his age
The guy who invented the Gatling gun thought his invention would bring an end to war. Since war would cause too much death, he thought people would do the sensible thing and not kill each other anymore
You should definitely watch "Shogun". "The Last Samurai" is a cool movie but at the same time, it's naive and heavily romanticized. "Shogun" depicts Japanese culture in a way more realistic way - sophisticated and grim at the same time and the acting there is insane.
they also take place more than 250 years apart.
One of the best music score ever!
"Tell me how he died."
"I will tell you how he lived." 💔😭
Hiroyuki Sanada is Ujo, the sword master. He is one of the reasons the current Shogun is a hit. He was also great in The White Countess and John Wick Chapter 4, among other films.
Perhaps it was only when Algren (also drunk) appeared and behaved that some Americans understood that many of the "victories" of the US cavalry, among others, are not even close to what they are portrayed as. Honorable? I have a less nice description. 10:00 Algren's intention was to commit what we in Germany call an "extended suicide". Since he was unable to do it due to several circumstances, the Japanese soldier was supposed to do it, albeit unknowingly.
Yes, please do Shōgun! It's on Hulu btw, not Apple. It takes place 276 years before this movie's setting, and not trying to spoil it, but Japan had over 250 years of peace in-between Shōgun and The Last Samurai.
You can tell Tom loved the story this is best acting performance in my opinion
I went for Hans Zimmer’s live concert last week in Dubai and they played a long piece from this movie.
I just couldn’t stop my tears, it was sooooo beautiful that I can’t even explain. You just have to experience it❤️
A small measure of peace....
your little one liners are the best xD
"his head came off..." died at that
Great movie
Did the "Justin" drinking game. Everything she says, Justin, take a shot or chug a beer. I am at the 35:23 mark. I am plowed and worse...I'm out of booze. 😂
Love it guys. Be well
It never fails to amuse on this channel that upon pretty much every instance of violence, she exclaims "Justin!" like she's a fussy old catholic school marm scolding a boy in her maths class. As though he wrote and directed the movie.😂
The Last Samurai was filmed in New Zealand.
just here to read comments about the accent... 🍿🍿
Although this a great movie, it is historically no correct. The samurai rebelled, because they were loosing some important privileges (f.e. payment from the state, the allowance to carry swords) in 1877 (Satsuma rebellion). Yes and they used firearms.
Getting mauled in comment section over "the bad irish accent" 😂
It's a Scottish accent and Billy Connoly is a Scot
This movie is just so deep and so beautifully done. Definitely one of my favorite Tom Cruise films.
All filmed in New Zealand. Hollywood doesn't film in Japan even Shogun was filmed in Canada.
The tiger is one of the animals from Chinese astrology. In Japan, it has come to represent a warrior temperament.
Jeebus.
The Red Phoenix, Blue Dragon, White Tiger, and Black ‘Tortoise’ are Chinese symbols of great antiquity. They represent four particular stars, as well as the cardinal directions.
So much misinfo on this thread.
I mean you still see children die in movies and tv shows even today. Although there is a line they won't cross, and that is to show anything violent. Dismemberment, blood....etc. Though in some other countries, they don't seem to have that limit.
Everybody miscounts the scene where they are betting on how many moves for Ujio to beat Algren. They are speaking in offensive moves only, and ignoring defensive movements.
Tom Cruise on the M. Parkinson chat show with Billy Connolly I think you both should watch , Billy
So funny , & Tom cannot stop laughing
People praise Tom Cruise for his big action blockbuster movies like Mission Impossible and Top Gun which are great too but his best work as an actor has always been in his dramatic film performances like this. He’s such a great actor. Hopefully you guys check out more of his dramas.
The old man who commanded respect is still a samurai at the time of the battle. Samurai are shamed by defeat and if they cannot attain a glorious death, they commit seppuku by piercing their abdomen with a dagger then an awaiting ally chops your head off when you indicate you are ready to end your pain.
Samurai were so obsessed with this mentality that they'd wear perfume in their hair, in case someone took their head as a trophy, their severed head would stink up the place.
Sake has an ABV of 9-19%. Sake often tastes floral or fruity. The crappy sake, doesn't take much of anything (just like the rice it is made from).
There were no miniguns in this battle, but Gatling guns, the hand cranked predecessor that fired up to 200 rounds a minute. Miniguns fire 6,000 rounds per minute at the push of a button.
The other heavy weapons used in the movie include a cannon, which fires a metal ball at long range, but at very short range fires something similar to a very large shotgun blast. Howitzers fired an explosive round indirectly, but they could also fire cannon rounds directly.
This movie is decently close to history in most regards.
Japanese Emperors go back to 660 BCE (BC). In 1192 military group called the Shogunate (led by Shoguns) seized full control of the country, but the Emperors still had power (just less).
From 1603 to 1868 Japan was in isolation from the rest of the world. This changed when a US Admiral (Perry) sailed into Tokyo harbor and threatened to open fire with his gunship if Japan didn't open trade with the west.
What followed was a shift back to the Emperors and quick an acceptance of western technology and (to a lesser extent) culture.
Samurai embraced the change, but many soon realized that such a change were helping to empower men like Omura who did not necessarily have the best interests of Japan at heart.
Of course many did not embrace the change as it represented a drop in power and status. Though, I am not really sure of the numbers on either side.
The Samurai real motive and the Japanese "hiring American strategists because they were the best in the world" are the two largest inaccuracies I know of.
In reality, the Japanese, and most of the world viewed Europeans as being the best leaders. Napoleon and Von Clausewitz (just to name two) are widely viewed as the greatest military strategist and theorist respectively. Both were around in the 19th century (though those men were both dead by the time of this movie).
Always happy to listen to you two talk, we're here to see your reactions afterall :) Keep up the good work.
Its bad irish... yea its a light Scottish accent...
Samurai can be both singular and plural. So the Last Samurai can mean either the last single Samurai and/or the last group of them. The reality is that Nathan wouldn't have become an equivalent sword fighter to a samurai in one year, but it is also important to remember that even if he doesn't have the same sword fighting skills, Nathan was an experienced warrior who wasn't afraid of death. So that can close the gap some. It was loosely based on the Meiji Restoration. Sad that in this day and age we still have to have a Western hero who in a short period becomes equal if not better than the natives who have been living the samurai ways for a lifetime. Despite all of that, it's still a great movie.
6:22 The real-life Emperor Meiji was 14 years old when he came to power.
Such an amazing movie, my favorite Tom Cruise movie, great reaction guys
The one, rather significant honestly, problem of this otherwise great film is... guns.
The Samurai (and the non-noble rest of the Japanese military for that matter) had been using firearms since the *mid 16th century,* actually Tokugawa won the civil wars of the 16th century by *inventions in battlefield musketry* (three tiered volley fire - under these circumstances even matchlock muskets produce a horrible volume of fire...
See "Shogun" for *this* period.
Oh and the "real live" Katsumoto wore western uniform (the armour in the film is 16th century, most Samurai had forsaken armour at this point because a couple of centuries proliferation of firepower...) and made his last stand with the sword because he'd run out of ammo...
Still an *awesome* film in spite of everything.😅
Best regards
Raoul G. Kunz
I really enjoyed your reaction. Amazing movie. Thanks for taking the time to watch and react to it.
Still one of my favorite movies of all time
C'mon Jane, Billy Connoly is not English, nor is he Irish, he is Scottish and the accent he is speaking in is his own ❤
Shot primarily in New Zealand...
One of my favorite movies ever. Thank you for reacting to it. Greetings from Germany, Thomas.
Great reaction guys! Classic Justin ✌🏻❤️
Movie was filmed mostly in New Zealand in the Taranaki region, Mt Taranaki looks identical to Mt Fuji.
Love your reactions
Would love to see you guys react to a New Zealand movie "The Whale rider"
The two greatest actors of all time are both named Tom. Cruise and Hanks.
I just knew the majority of these comments were going to be about the accent lol
Have you ever watched the extended version of: Dances with Wolves (1990)
It is one of my favorite and most beautiful movies. You'll love it.
"MY EYEBROWS" 🤣🤣🤣 Jane you are a treasure!
The death they show is a warriors death. An honor to Samuari. Yes, I highly recommend the series Shogun.
Billy Connolly Scottish comedian not an Irish accent. RIP.
Connolly’s not dead. 82 this year.
Jesus the quality of posts on this channel is awful.
@@andrewcrowder4958 sorry I got him mixed up with Sean Connery when I type it I realised I made a mistake
All of your questions are answered along the way. I was considered shameful to address someone by their first name without their permission. A person's name holds great power. No matter how powerful a man is in the community, the woman is absolute power in the home.
You see wooden swords and the first thing that comes to mind is "girls training swords"? Wow. What you guys smokin?
I really enjoy Justin's reactions.
He is completely engaged and feeling everything.
Thanks for your emotional reaction!🙏🏼
You’re a so nice couple! 👍
A beautiful movie with an outstanding performance by Ken Watanabe. Oh, and the actor playing Sergeant Zebulon Gant is the great Billy Connolly, and he's bloody Scottish 😁
As Mr Miyagi said. Honor very serious.
We first got fight these boys in 1942 at Guadalcanal. But we had 50 cal machine guns. The first Banzai attack was 800 crack troops, they almost died to the last man. Their commander survived but soon after committed suicide.
The cutting of the Top Knot was a humiliation. As only Samurai could have a Top Knot.
When Tonka is dressing Nathan in the armor. The robes the she first puts on him are the samurai's burial clothes. So for her she is once again dressing a man she cares for to go to his death. That is displayed by her sadly putting her head on his shoulder.
Nathan probably has even more conflicting feelings because the samurai in the red armor, Hirotaro Taka's husband and the kids dad is the same guy that killed his friend Zeb and Nathan targeted him as a revenge killing.
In the training scene, the bets were being taken by offensive moves not total moves..."Uijo in 3 moves"...took me a bit to understand myself
A very underrated film. A masterpiece!
