Do you think the villagers would be ok with him, knowing most of their men died on the battlefield but not him ?
Also since he's a samurai, shouldn't he commit seppuku ? He lost the battle.

he's a chad who mogged an entire country. i think they'd be fine with anything he did.
He's not a Samurai
reminder that the plural of "samurai" is also "samurai" and the title is referring to the last samurai that tom cruise finds a connection with, and that anyone who called this movie a white savior cliche is ironically being a racist because they misunderstood the boxart showing toms face and the words "the last samurai" below it
It's perfectly understandable how you would mistake it for Tom Cruise being the Last Samurai from the box art. He's on the poster and the title is above it. How would you make another assumption from seeing the poster? It's how it was marketed to sell the most tickets.
americans have been weebs for decades by the point this movie came out. before the anime boom of the 90s people were gushing over martial arts movies and pretending to learn karate. don't assume just because (you) were an ignorant mofo everyone ones
>americans have been weebs for decades by the point this movie came out
Stop making Am*ricans sound based
Daniel Day Lewis wasn't the last of the Mohicans either. What are you going to do? Put some old drunk with a face like shrivelled up parchment on your poster?
But I can see how it is taken as a sign of white dominant culture. It's just where the money is and what sells tickets.You can see fill that in however you want to. It's the poster that will sell most tickets.
>le heck natives
They were savages who murdered each other by the thousands long before white Europeans ever set foot on the Americas. Why did they feel to make them the sympathetic protagonists in the movie?
>a sign of white dominant culture. It's just where the money is and what sells tickets
They're movies made by whites in white countries. Do you expect something different you fricking imbecile?
>white countries
I heard those existed once, long ago. Forever lost now…
I was just trying to find an explanation for the discrepancy between the movie's messages and the face that was put on the poster.
*movies'
Ken watanabes character was the last samurai.
Tom cruise was merely the window through which a western audience could experience the last days of the samurai.
The real life inspiration of Watanabe's character is also known as the last samurai
Hell it worked fine with Antonio Banderas being a persian hanging out with swedes. It's just stranger in a strange land learning to relate and appreciate another culture. being X race is beside the point.
"the last of the samurai" would have been clunkier but clearier
>Also since he's a samurai,
Oh frick off you moronic Black person
What can the village do? All the warriors died fighting. He could rape and terrorize the whole place if he wanted.
he was the last homie on earth who then became the last samurai in the world. of course they would.
Pray to God you don't drop that shit
This was the most kino Tom ever looked.
Frick off gay ass zoomer.
im 34
t. cringennial
>meanwhile zoomers
they look 30
Zoomers age worse than any other generation.
>2017 article
those are millenials too, moron
These are also millennials
the british have been devastating for the white image
He is pure sex in this movie. Pure sex!
He wasn't a samurai. You missed the point of the movie.
nice bait
>he trains with samurai, wears samurai battle armor, fights like samurai with samurai
>hurrrdurrr he ISNT the last samurai + samurai is plural
the absolute brainpower of Cinemaphile posters
>nice bait
No homosexual, your bait is shit
>現在の日本に侍はもういません
>Genza no Nihon ni samurai ha mou imasen
>In modern day Japan, samurai no longer exist
Samurai is singular and plural. With the exception of 達 which is a pluralizing suffix added onto pronouns, 複数形 (plural form) does not exist in Japanese
>t. University student in Japan
Get owned homosexual
>seppuku
in the nineties, it was known as 'harakiri'.
No, it wasn't. And this movie is from 2003, so what's your point dipshit?
Seppuku wasn't a known term before the internet and weebs. When Japs killed themselves with a short sword, which was a foreign concept as it was, it was labeled as 'harakiri'. That was the popular term. 'Seppuku' was a more obscure term that wasn't known before the internet.
Looked more like he found a quiet spot in the mountains instead of going back to the village.
EVERYONE STARTED KNEELING OUT OF RESPECT
KINO! I yelled to myself out loud while applauding and standing up from my chair with tears in my eyes
RESPECT THE wiener
Worst scene after the one where Tom Cruise kills 3 ninja singlehandedly. Katsumoto's actual death is such a well done scene and then they follow it up with this dumb shit.
>Acts like a a petulant women/child would act not getting the result that they would want.
>Completely relying of the expected mercy of the opposing party
>No regard for the actual danger of the situation as they expect to be spared.
>Cinemaphile thinks this is the pinnacle of masculinity
Am I missing something here?
It's as if you don't understand how stories work. Which is weird because you've presumably seen a film before.
he was suicidal and didn't care for his life
>wants to die
>uses the most non committal methods possible, like most women
thanks for helping prove my point
difference between actively seeking out to have a nice day and not caring to die
You wouldn't get it, xir.
>Am I missing something here?
a y chromosome
You're missing balls, homosexual.
it's called an arc moron
I saw that scene as Cruise simply being stubborn and defiant to his captures, as prisoners of war tend to be, and the Japs seeing how dangerous this new modern threat is, as he does not simply roll over and die when he is defeated like how they usually do.

It’s not our way
today i will remind them of the empire review of the last samurai wherein they claim there are no chinks in this armor
Holy kek.
you cant even find it with a google search anymore. its all pozzed now. only the Cinemaphile archives have it.
reminder that actual japanese people fricking loved this movie and only leftist troon americans had a problem with it
Thats standard procedure
Was the same with Ghost of Tsushima
I lived in the city in Japan where part of this movie was filmed for a couple of years and people absolutely love Tom Cruise. Apparently he would spend quite a lot of time signing autographs for the locals
The last samurai is:
a)Tom Cruise
b)Katsumoto
c)The Emperor
d)The samurai in the village
e)The entire village
For me, personally, I think the emperor was the last samurai when Cruise handed him the sword. Doesn't matter if it can be plural. It was supposed to be a spiritual thing and a way of life. When Cruise handed the Emperor the sword, he turned him into the last samurai. Ensuring their way of life and philosophy would not die.
You should have a nice day
How do you figure? I think it's a valid theory or way of seeing the movie. Probably closer to the mark than you are.
>Ensuring their way of life and philosophy would not die.
Thus leading to Japan becoming the brutal genocidal maniac nation it was in the early 20th century
You're talking history. I'm talking about the movie.
Which is probably a thing, because the samurai are the King's Guard no?
it's Higen actually he's the next generation
The Last Samurai were the friends Tom made along the way.
Frick the samurai. Bunch of autistic medieval Black folk. Worse even than medieval european noblemen and that's a fricking accomplishment.
Good fricking riddance.
t. filthy peasant who didn't have the skills to elevate himself
Do you think Samurai were allowed to just take any woman from the local villiage home and have their way with them?
Boy that’d be sweet….
He's buddies with the Emperor, and he's fricking the chief's sister, I think he will be fine.
When a girl in college back in 2015 asked me what my favourite movie was I said this movie and I was surprised she had actually seen it and said it was good. Keep in mind she was a drunk party bawd.
>shouldn't he commit seppuku
No. He will tell you how he lived.
so corny
t. woman
yeah
most of the young women in the village are already lining up for his seed the moment they saw him
they were glad their own men died
this movie is peak real weaboo fantasy and I love it
Saaaaaaaaake!
The last samurai is pure kino however I think the last battle, the location it takes place in, and generally the ending constitue the least accomplished aspects of this film.
in the book he returns to pick up his new wife and his wife's son and takes them back to live in the city he then spends his days boinking her and teaching the young emperor about Katsumoto and his best friend (in the book) Ujio who he regarded as the strongest Samurai.
