maybe not paint all Americans with a broad brush, your misconceptions run deep.
I love you guys 💕
I am almost 60 and Native American and I have seen this 100 times plus! and it still hits hard! I love the Japanese culture and my own the Mohawk, Thanks for sharing! KONORONKHWA!
Wow, thank you very much for such comment! We respect Native American culture a lot. Big love from Ukraine
The very best to you! And the Ukrainian People and culture!!!! Nia;Wen!@@PillowHero-jd6ie
“Indian” native Americans are the original people of America, America was started by the people who came to the lands, so they’re the natives..
Question, how do you feel about Dances With Wolves? (As an Indigenous North American)
this movie never fails to make me cry everytime. truly emotional film
Never be ashamed to cry, it lets you know you have feelings
It's hard not to cry watching the great samurai obliterated by advanced weapons, warriors who terrorized and protected Japan for centuries, but no longer had a part in their advancement. The last samurai was Katsumoto, and his character is what made this movie for me.
I enjoyed very much your reactions.
"Tell me how he died."
"I will tell you how he lived."
Fun Fact: This not only marks the first time Ken Watanabe starred in an American-made movie, but it is the first time he spoke English in a movie.
Blade Enthusiast Fact: The swordsmith in the village is a real swordsmith. His name is Shoji Yoshihara, brother to Yoshihara Yoshindo. Shoji is a "Mukansa"-level master swordsmith, one of the highest rankings in Japan.
Location Location Fact: Filming took place in New Zealand, mostly in the Taranaki region, with Japanese cast members and an American production crew. This location was chosen due to the fact that Egmont/Mt. Taranaki resembles Mt. Fuji, and also because there is a lot of forest and farmland in the Taranaki region. 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 Brothers backlot in Burbank, California. Some scenes were shot in Kyoto and Himeji, Japan. There were thirteen locations altogether.
Historical Fact: The real-life counterpart to Katsumoto (Ken Watanabe) is Takamori Saigo, who led a samurai rebellion in 1877. As in the movie, Saigo ended up committing suicide in September 1877 after defeat in battle. The Emperor's attitude in this movie toward Katsumoto's struggle and death reflects actual Japanese popular sentiment toward Saigo, who though defeated, was regarded as a hero. A statue of Saigo was erected shortly after his death, and can be seen today in Ueno, in northeast Tokyo. Although this movie seems to imply that Japan's new army was trained by the Americans, in fact, it was the Prussian General Staff that assisted in the modernization of Japan's army.
Yes, after the movie we checked facts about this whole thing, about people, places etc. Glad its not fiction
PillowHero ...Putting me out of a job, eh? I see how it is. You give 19 years to a channel and you're fired before you can collect pension while I still have kids in college! I get it! I get it! 😭
(Joking! 🤣)
Go in Peace and Walk with God. 😎 👍
Don't be ashamed of crying at this. There are 4 times in a man's life when it's OK to cry:
1. death of a loved one
2. When he stubs his toe on furniture or a suitcase.
3. At the end of Gladiator.
4. At the end of The last samurai
I always find it interesting that more men cry at that scene than any other scene in movies. Something about seeing your breathen die in combat. I think invokes a primal sorrow in us men.
I cry for happy things
For the rest im stoic
Hans Zimmer always knows how to break your heart. One of the most underrated films of my lifetime and it never ceases to make me well up with tears. It is a disgrace that Cruise didn't get at least an Oscar nomindation for this
We visited Hanz Zimmer's concert in Poland, big fans
King Leonidas: Tonight we dine in Hell.
Katsumoto: That is a very good death.
Leonidas just before the battle begins:
“This moment will be yours for all eternity”.
I like the way you referred to them by their correct name 'Shinobi' instead of Ninja.
Ninja is literally the translation
if you don't cry during this movie you're not human
What may surprise you : The Victorian Era lasted until 1901. A civilization that many people will romanticize. The Old West lasted until 1912. So, those two (very different) cultures existed at the same time. The Meiji era lasted until 1912 as well. Back when Victorians were thinking about Sherlock Holmes, Americans were being cowboys. And the Japanese were trying to get rid of swords.
Good one. The character of Algren is based on Eugène Collache and Jules Brunet, both French Imperial Guard officers who fought alongside Enomoto Takeaki in the earlier Boshin War
Don't be ashamed or afraid to show your emotion, that is why we are here to watch your reaction... I always cry myself watching The Last Samurai, The Last of the Mohicans and Fury 😢😭
You two had the right reactions. They made this movie perfectly. We all search for peace and serenity but in todays world its hard to find. Honor runs deep...we should live by this. You found yourself a new fan and subscriber.
Thank you for the great film.
Of course, the story of the movie is a fiction, but it faithfully reproduces historical facts such as the historical background. Real Samurai are gone in this era, but we Japanese have the Samurai spirit forever. Thank you Tom Cruise.👍😭
Wow I love it. No talking. Just straight into the reaction. I wish more channels were like this. lol
In reality rebel samurais have had firearms like muskets and guns but after gunpowder was depleted they fought with swords...The movie, as such, is based on two real historical stories that have been combined.
I’m a 40 year old guy. Don’t really cry much. But this always gets me teary. Seen plenty of other reactors with the same emotions. Such a good movie.
I watched it in 2005 and it has been my favorite movie of all time
Cried when I first saw it . . crying everytime I see a reaction of it! Love your pure emotional reaction, and a man that cries of emotion. . is the best kind of man! Love to you both from Sweden! ❤
Beautiful, heartfelt reaction. Don’t feel bad about the tears. This movie destroys men. Something about the warrior ethos and it being a somewhat true story.
No not "destroy men" but reaching in their hearts' feelings.
One of my all time favorite movies very underrated Thank U for reacting to it great job
Thank you for the reaction. It was worth the wait. This movie always makes me emotional. ❤
This is only the second video I’ve seen of your reactions. It’s amazing, and thank you for not censoring them and how genuine they are. I have been there with you on all of these movies just trying not to make too much noise when I cry. Even though I’ve seen the movie over a dozen times, I still tear up and swallow deep because of how deep these movies hit me. Wonderful reaction and I can’t wait to see more. I’m a native Texan that is harder than a coffin nail and right at the start I smiled when you mentioned that Americans know how to entertain and how to shoot guns, lol. Thank you for this reaction, and please keep doing exactly what you are doing. Your knowledge, how you process things, but also appreciated the difficult visceral reality really reaches out to us. Thank you!
Hello guys, this is the most heartfelt reaction I have ever seen of this movie. The movie is based on a somewhat true story, but the main character was French instead of American if I am not mistaken. I subscribed and looking forward to watch more of your reactions. Greetings and best wishes to you both from Mexico.
Most people miss the relevance of the emperor taking off his glove to take the sword.. The ultimate respect. The emperor's hands never touch anything..
To me. this is one of the most beautiful movies ever made. "Tell me how he died." "I will tell you how he lived."
34:51 - Algren realized that Omura was telling the truth about him fighting against the Emperor. But Algren was fighting alongside with Katsumoto, whose only wish was to protect the Emperor and Japan. And since Katsumoto actually admitted that Algren had become the samurai, Nathan, in fact, became the Emperor's servant. So, to prove his honor and loyalty to his Master, he asked Emperors if he had to commit Seppuku.
One of Tom Cruise's finest roles and performances. The amount of emotions he showed throughout that whole scene... Dam
If people think that Tom could only play secret agents... You better check this movie. Or Collateral...
One of the best and underrated movie ever!!!! 🎬
I don't know why some think this is a "White Savior" movie. Algren doesn't even save his samurai comrades who died to the last man though he did manage to convey Katsumoto's last plea to the Emperor.
The movie is more about Algren's emotional and mental healing then finding peace with himself.
The story is loosely based on the Boshin War (1868 to 1869) and Satsuma Rebellion (1877). You can see a statue of Takamori Saigo, the last samurai, in Ueno Park today, along with his beloved dog. By the way, the real-life counterpart for Captain Nathan Algren is the French captain Jules Brunet.
that scene of nobutada dying... still makes me tear up all these years later

Under no circumstances should one make the mistake of calling the cheap and mass-produced swords during the Second World War “Katana”. Only a few traditional master blacksmiths remain to this day from whose expert hands a katana comes. Nevertheless, it is true that after Japan's surrender, huge quantities of swords came to the States as spoils of war. Most of them were pieces from the mass production mentioned above, but some of them also included valuable, priceless family heirlooms. Swords were given to soldiers by families in the hope that the spirits of their ancestors that resided in the weapon would protect the men. There are still numerous weapons that are considered lost. Pieces whose material and emotional value cannot be measured. Some US soldiers had such a weapon over the fireplace or lying in the attic without being aware of what was in their possession.
This is one the best stories ever made.
Hi guys - You mentioned the Little Mermaid reaction getting some heat in one of your videos.
So I decided to check it out -
My favorite part was when you told that preaching idiot in the comments section, to STFU.
That was hilarious - He should know better than to mess with Ukrainians.
Thanks for making my night.
I'm subscribing now. 😃

The Last Samurai is not fiction. It is based on a war in the transition from the late Edo Period to the Meiji Period of Japanese history. The lead actor, Tom Cruise, is modeled after French army officer Jules Brunet. He gave up his position to fight alongside his Japanese students and comrades and was defeated. After returning to France, he continues to take care of and contribute to the Japanese people. I am using a translator to make my comments. I hope it comes across well.
I watched the video yep this is very enotional film , yeah the Japanese how can i say it different example in World War 2 the Japanese in Papua New Guinea in Port Moresby Hospital whilst they thought they were doing all the Patients a good service by putting them all out if thier misery , Well we the Australians didn't really think they were , eventually we pushed Japanese back at the Kokoda Trail . But now we friends with the Japanese and thsts cool 😎 The Enemy of my Enemy is My Friend so thats cool 😎 also i personally don't thunk i have any enemies so i love everyone ♥
*Masterpiece movie. The cinema at its finest.*
*_A Small Measure of Peace_* by the great Hans Zimmer is one of the best soundtracks of all times.
*_“The perfect blossom is a rare thing. You could spend your life looking for one, and it would not be a wasted life.”_*
i really like the way you showed the movie footage, half sphere. i never saw that before. i'm going to try that in my videos.
Great reaction! This is one of my favorite movies for sure in my top 5
Always tear up when all the soldiers bow after the machine gun stops shooting
😢
Well, actually one of the biggest inacuracies of this movie, is that the Samurai rly didnt had a problem with using firearms themselves.
The Samurai shown in the movie are looking and behaving like they are from the Ashikaga-Period, but they are living in the Meiji Restauration - 500 years time difference. Westerners may not notice, but thats like putting medieval Crussaders into the Napoleonic Wars.
The Samurai of Meiji were not fighting in these kinds or armor anymore and they also didnt use bows instead of firearms.
Also, the political situation rly wasnt that easy, and Katsumoto rly wasnt so much the "good side" as the movie wants you to think. First of all, the whole rebellion wasnt that much about "the best for Japan" but more about keeping priviledges for the samurai. He attacked the railway multiple times and raided the villages along the tracks. The government was forced to react. He also wasnt the "bad side" - there was no good or bad - its complicated (politics and stuff).
I still like the movie a lot, but the over-romanticised way in which it portraits the Samurai, has little to do with the real world.
Anybody that says people in America give fake smiles haven’t been to the south. Try going to Texas. You’d have to go to Japan to find nicer people.
37:58 You are talking about the "Meiji Restoration" from the Bakumatsu Era.
There are a couple of anime set in the this time period, with the most famous being "Rurouni Kenshin" and "Gintama".
If you want a quick history lesson about this period and major historical figures, go watch the video "The Historical Context of Gintama (parts 1 and 2)" by Simiji.
That wasn't the Shogun. That was the Emperor
One of my absolute favorite movies... I hate how people's opinion on Tom Cruise keeps them from watching this movie. Thanks for the content. Keep it up
Beautiful reaction guys!
My girlfriend likes to say "Jolly good.." all sad like in this movie, cause she knows it wrecks me.
Love your emotions!!! Hans Zimmer's score on the charge at the end always gets me.
I am Cheyenne, not a good or a bad thing, but those scenes when he remembers.. hit hard
Love watching reactions to this film and guessing at the start whether people cry or not before/at the end....the answers always yes 😂
I'm a man and it's the only movie I cried in too.
that hits different always idk why
The samurai is the equivalent to the European knight. They mostly came from prestigious families, although there are accounts of commoners who became samurai. Just like the knight, they had a set of code and morals of chivalry and honor.
wonderful reaction, you felt what we all felt watching, great job guys
Watch also Kingdom of Heaven ❤ That's awesome movie.
Or Prince of Persia, Mummy 1 and 2, Van Helsing, John Carter, Pride and prejudice (2005 or 1995 - miniseries), Sherlock Holmes 1 and 2 (2009, 2011 - A Game of Shadows), Law Abiding Citizen.
Great reaction and thanks for your reaction! yes, I am American! lol.
Awesome! Thank you!
Fantastic reaction. You are both tremendous human beings. You passed the test.
Such a good movie, samurai are my all time favourite warriors
There must have been so many single women in that village at the end.
just as after every war...
28:03 (mumbles) Shinzo (o) sasageyo...
I HEARD THAT.😁
SASAGEYO!! TATAKAE!!
When I first read the Chapter of the suicide charge of the Survey Corps, I was having The Last Samurai flashbacks hardcore.😭😭
Great movie 👍
Hello from Canada 🇨🇦
Ukraine Respect 🤝💪❤️
This story is almost real. The american soldier was in fact a french one. The real name of Katsumoto was indeed Takamori Saigo. Oomura was, in fact, Ookubo Toshimichi. And the reality was more gray than the depicted here. Saigo and Ookubo fought together to restore the Emperor Meiji to power and modernize Japan, but Saigo wanted stubbornly to mantain the samurai system; proposing a war with Korea to do so. When Ookubo and the other Satsuma samurai oposed, he break the alliance and fought his old comrades. The result was quite similar to the movie. The japanese people honored Saigo as a hero, and mantained a century long hatred towards Ookubo and his family. Ookubo would die murdered in what we would call today a "terrorist attack" some years later.
the story of Jules Brunet a french officer hero
The scene where the Emperor orders Omura's weakth seized, then offers Omura Katsumoto's sword...that was Katsumoto's victory.
If you love this movie you will love Dances with wolves with Kevin Costner.
Shogun was a warlord. This takes place during the beginning of the Meiji period, right after the Civil War to overthrough the Shogun.
In real ending battle the imperial army only suffered 30 casualties. brutal
Great reaction you got my sub
❤
Brother held on so long not to cry…. Nothing wrong with having a good cry mate 😊
It was loosely based on the events of a french mercenary in northern japan.
Shogun were warlords rulers over geopolitical areas
Great reaction ..
Hopefully you react to more TOM CRUISE movies
Shogun is not the Emperor. Shogun is appointed by the emperor.
That was a wonderful reaction.😊
Glad you enjoyed
Great reaction. I am subscribed!
❤
Forgive me if I’m wrong because I’m jot a historian but Katanas were not used for World War 2… only for Harakiri (ritual self sacrifice). I might be wrong on that…but that’s what I’ve gathered from my grandfather who actually fought on Iwo Jima. They usually used bayonets in battle just as the Americans did.
And the katanas were short blades not longer than 1 foot in length.
u are correct for ordinary soldiers but officers did have katanas
we know this because they were captured after battle and considered a prize in war booty
このシーンは何度見ても
泣いてしまいます
m(_ _)m
This was based on the Satsuma Rebellion. Never fails to make me cry also.
I love this movie!
Yes, this movie is fiction but it's inspired by real events... they added an "american captain" because Hollywood... but that's how we can witness this story, through his eyes, so I think it's ok.
The character Katsumoto is based on a samurai called Saigo, his rebellion was known as the Satsuma Rebellion and the last battle where they all died was the Battle of Shiroyama. This battle was pretty much like in the movie, 500 samurai against the Imperial Army, the difference was 60 to 1. First there was a huge combat, a big massacre, and finally the last charge of the remaining 40 samurai who ended up dying under a rain of bullets. This was the end of the samurai and people start calling Saigo "The Last Samurai".
Really great movie, in my opinion this is the best Tom Cruise film.
P. S.
There is a band called Sabaton they have a song about this historical events, the song is called "Shiroyama", maybe if you're interested you can listen to it.
Tom Cruise character was French in real life, so he is kinda real as well
@@PillowHero-jd6ie Not really... I mean... there was a french guy called Jules Brunet in Japan but he was there during the Tokugawa era serving the shogun government. Saigo was a rebel who fought against this government to overthrow it. So, during the Boshin War, Brunet and Saigo were enemies. After the victory of Saigo and the rebels, Brunet escaped and went back to France in 1869.
The new Meiji era started, and the new government of Japan modernized the country and the samurai were abolished, all these sudden western style changes made the samurai angry and the Satsuma Rebellion happened in 1877 lead by Saigo (and this rebellion is what we see in the movie).
So... no... Brunet and Saigo were never friends nor allies, Brunet was never a rebel and never fought against the government, and Brunet was not part of the Satsuma Rebellion (which happened EIGHT YEARS after he left Japan).
The only thing Brunet has in common with the movie character Algren is that they are western guys in Japan during a conflict... and that's it. 🤷🏻♂️
I have become a huge fan of Sabaton, since I first heard "The Christmas Truce", which I did know about. I will be checking out "Shiroyama" now; I was not aware of this one. Thank you for that information.
@@RopeResQ46 Also, in their Sabaton History channel they have an episode about the Satsuma Rebellion, you should check that one out too.
I thnk, the best thing this movie did, in hindsight, was not have Tom Cruise be the "white Saviour" character like they had with Dances with Wolves via Kevin Costner.
historically it was a massive load of bullshit, the real Katsumoto ABSOLUTELY was using firearms, as they weren't some new invention by the time this movie takes place. and part of any serious army in the island nation. Only reason he went to using only swords, spears and arrows was he *ran out of ammunition* and couldn't get any more for his soldiers. That being said, the final battle scene was pretty cool, and should have ended there with all of them dying, seeing as Tom's character took like 5-8 bullets during the battle.
Emperor Meiji was so young!
from Japanese.

Bro. I'm with you on the Katsumoto death scene. Always gets me. Zen to the end, thinking about the beauty of the cherry blossom. This movie was better than it was supposed to be.
besides some early comments I did not care for, A good reaction overall specially toward the emotional end.
If a person didn't shed a few tears at the end then there is something missing in them.
Putting aside the odd, numerous comments from the guy regarding Americans, this is a decent reaction.
I like people saying we have a fake smile is the ones are bullshit
A really great war drama action film will make anyone cry no matter who you are.
Movie is a masterpiece.
there are a couple of other movies I would like you to react to: and they are also about the American West regarding to the slaughter of the native tribes; Little Big Man (1970) and Dances With Wolves (1990).
I cried a lot with this movie, now I'm watching the reaction video and I'm sad, I would like a big virtual hug with you 🫂
I liked this movie but at the same time it's exciting!
When is the reaction video for the movie Independence Day? 😊
On 4th July 🤣🤣
@@PillowHero-jd6ie I'll just have to wait for that date hahaha 😂😂
Its ok bro, we all cried during this movie. I saw this in theaters not a dry eye in the house.
Tom Cruise= 🐐
Crying shows your not a sociopath, this movie is a test. And best reviewers show true emotions why viewers are here
Check the Shiroyama battle. This movie is based on it.
what beautiful souls you are
Guys there is quite alot of truth to this, not just the samuri, Im from the UK, we invaded, over 1000 years 60% of the world, and it later years like this time era we colonised, we did not do japn, america did, trying to put western values into the east, democracy, trial by jury, rail ways western clothing. , the east had ritches to be gained, most notibale for the UK in the east was indian and shrilanka, , we colonised the US and canada, US till 1776 and canada till about 1939 ish, new founland canada was later, as well as australia and new zealand, the west did try to put a stamp on these cultures, and i can see this happening in japan to a point, you will always have thoes that want it and those who rebel and dont want it.
If you want to watch a great Japanese Anime of this period, watch Rurouni Kenshin. The 2023 remake which is ongoing currently is very good! The original series is great too.
No hablo inglés.. pero es conmovedora su reacción, se ganaron mi like y mi apoyo.. gracias :3
