That anon is moronic. This movie still holds the title of one of the largest releases in Japan and the only main complaint was the romanticization of the Samurai
>never watched it >always heard it ripped on for being a "white savior movie" in college >finally watch it >literally everyone he loves dies >film actually criticizes western imperialism in a tact way
this is a genuinely amazing movie
also shout out to they samurai who reviewed his sword fight and said it was amazing
For some reason there's this recent massive stigma about this movie being a white saviour movie. I knew a guy who also had a professor in college tell him it was a white saviour movie (although this guy was an idiot and loved dumb shit like Last Jedi)
I mean, it's not exactly a white saviour movie, since Algren is not better than the samurai at anything and he eats shit in almost every battle he fights, but I think it has some elements of it, since he's the only one who survives the final battle and gets the Emperor to do the right thing
Oh sorry I might have misworded my post. It's insanely obvious it's not a white saviour movie to anyone who's watched it since Tom Cruise doesn't save anyone and is the one that's saved
That's still not white saviourism. It makes sense because it's literally a foreigner telling you about your childhood teacher that you betrayed and the way of life he lead.
this is true but the movie's internal logic makes sense
they know they cant win the rebellion so they chose to be "muh honorabu samurai" till the end to further shame the emperor and people for abandoning the old ways, and judging by the ending it worked quite well
It's not a historical movie. It's basic an allegory about good traditions - bad modernity. Pretty redpilled movie tbh, I'm surprised it's not more famous in 4chin
It may be historically innacurate and have some stupid Hollywood action scenes, but Algren's character arc and his relationship with the samurai carry the movid
>The actual japanese like the movie >Picrel is a japanese game affectionately reference the movie >Westerners(non-japanese) screech and cry that this is cultural appropriashun!
I am confused
I remember when they wanted to cancel Ni-oh when the game was done entirely by Asians with mostly Japanese market in mind saying it was racist, white supremacy, etc

It's just the typical rich pampered trust fund babies who have nothing but their genders and race to talk about
I actually like this movie but I think its interesting it could easily have gone in the exact opposite direction and been totally anti-Satsuma
Cruise is a Civil War veteran disillusioned by his experience primarily in the Indian Wars but there also. The Satsuma Rebellion can be extremely easily paralleled to the Confederacy and shat one for similar reasons: an antiquated class with an autistic hypocritically self serving "honour culture" being slowly displaced and disempowered by an industrializing modern world and modern state, the Samurai and slave owning gentry respectively, and deciding to have a hopeless ape out that kills a lot of people rather than allow it to peacefully happen.
You could very easily have played this as "these buttholes again". You can also tie this into the Indian Wars; Cruise has seen what happens to non-whites when they can't defend themselves and sees the hope of Japan preventing that for themselves by modernising, and going all in on that side. Obviously that kind of overshot itself and made Japan into a European colonial empire, but that's pure hindsight and you can actually raise that possibility and play with it in the movie.
i thought it was weird as frick that algren was prepared to off himself if the emperor willed it. like i get katsumoto doing it but algren? fricking weeb
Japan are cucks for not banning and ridiculing this humiliation ritual movie

Explain this opinion.

Japanese people pretend to hate other countries but they absolutely love it when westerners mention their culture in any way.
The same with finngols. Both are autists.
OP. TELL THIS MAN THAT IF HE DOES NOT SHOOT ME I WILL KILL HIM. TELL HIM!
Ok I'll translate

*influences a generation of Asian women*
Can't believe they made a whole movie about Tom Cruise going to Japan on a quest to find a woman shorter than him
...anon...Koyuki is 170cm tall, she's in fact as tall as him, he couldn't even accomplish that

on the other hand it's an excellent movie to understand what The Battle of the Pyramids may have look like
I appreciate the attention to detail of his in-character larp by wearing his tachi correctly.
no way seagal could have pulled it off
>write steven seagal biopic
>refuse to cast steven seagal

A perfect The Last Samurai thread is a rare thing.
You could spend your entire day searching the catalog for one, and it would not be a wasted day.
