Movie Mook's underappreciated movie of the week - The Last Samurai

[Mook]

You gotta separate Tom the person from Tom the actor. Once you do that, you realize the dude is enjoyable as fuck.

One of the few movies that can actually make me crack a tear if in the right mood. The ending is strongggg.

 

[Mook]

It really is a fantastic story, from start to finish. One of those rare movies where you care about the characters on both sides of the struggle. Except for Bagley, fuck him.

 

[Shocker]

Good movie!

God its been forever since I've watched it. I have the bluray too. Hmm. Somewhere in this house I even have a magazine/movie book I picked up years ago when the movie came out that gets into a lotta behind the scenes stuff. I'm gonna have to dig that out now.......

Fun fact: Ken Wantanabe didn't speak a word of english when he was cast in this movie

I try hard to. In fact I do like the movies where he gets directed. As a actor I find him very good.

Another fun fact: this guy got kicked in the nuts by a horse and still managed to stand upright for the scene.

I watched part of it when it first came out many many years ago. Think I shut it off after about 10 min. Not your traditional exciting attention grabbing Tom Cruise movie
