Product Description
Product Description
Epic Action Drama. Set in Japan during the 1870s, The Last Samurai tells the story of Capt. Nathan Algren (Tom Cruise), a respected American military officer hired by the Emperor of Japan to train the country's first army in the art of modern warfare. As the Emperor attempts to eradicate the ancient Imperial Samurai warriors in preparation for more Westernized and trade-friendly government policies, Algren finds himself unexpectedly impressed and influenced by his encounters with the Samurai, which places him at the center of a struggle between two eras and two worlds, with only his own sense of honor to guide him.
Set Contains:
No actor works harder to open a movie than Tom Cruise. His enthusiasm is throughout the DVD extras as he mirrors his samurai character by constantly talking about "loyalty" and "discipline" while working on the film. However as a post-movie experience, the top-line extras with Cruise and director Edward Zwick are repetitive and underwhelming, with too many clips from the film we assume DVD viewers have just seen. The History Channel show is also a pre-release promotional device that misses an opportunity to really dig into this intriguing time period. Better are segments on the costumes, the production design, and how you put together an Imperial army--in New Zealand, no less. Zwick's low-key and dense commentary (plus a "Video Journal") is not vital, but he illustrates many of the little peculiarities it took to make the wide-ranging film come together. There are two deleted scenes; a samurai's first appearance is particularly memorable. --Doug Thomas

- Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2024If you haven't seen it - definitey take the time. The whole cast puts on a premier performance. Nice view into the historical importance of the Samurai.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2024When I first heard of this movie it was through the opinion of a couple who found it incredulous that Mr. Cruise would be so audacious as to play Samurai. As a result I put off seeing it for many years. Finally, out of sheer curiosity, I decided to watch this.
Having spent time in Japan I found the production to bring into view how an outsider to the culture might look at and reflect on what they might experience while there. Period specific, of course. The film gave romanticism and paid tasteful respect to the changing of the times while remembering the importance of the past. Themes of honor, duty, peace of mind, respect for culture, tradition, and ancestry were presented in a way that would entice further education and emulation.
As a brief on parts of Eastern philosophy in practice it could not have been better. As well as being a well told, directed, written, and produced piece.
Highly recommend.

Giovanni CossuReviewed in Germany on January 21, 20245.0 out of 5 stars "Last Samurai: Eine fesselnde und einfühlsame Reise in eine vergangene Ära"
"Als großer Filmfan wurde ich von dem Film "Last Samurai" auf ganzer Linie begeistert. Die fesselnde Erzählweise zog mich von Anfang bis Ende in ihren Bann und ließ mich die Zeit vergessen. Jeder Moment war mit so viel Spannung, Emotionen und Tiefe gefüllt, dass ich förmlich an meinem Sitz klebte.
Was den Film wirklich außergewöhnlich macht, ist die beeindruckende Darstellung aller Haupt- und Nebendarsteller. Allen voran Tom Cruise, der in der Rolle des tief traumatisierten amerikanischen Soldaten Nathan Algren eine beeindruckende Leistung abliefert. Tom Cruise's intensives und einfühlsames Schauspiel in der Rolle des Nathan Algren hat mich zutiefst berührt. Durch seine Darstellung konnte ich förmlich seine innere Zerrissenheit spüren, während Algren seinen körperlichen und emotionalen Wandel durchläuft. Es war faszinierend zu beobachten, wie er im Laufe des Films nicht nur eine tiefe Anerkennung und Respekt für die japanische Kultur und die Samurai entwickelt, sondern auch selbst zu einem Schüler und Verehrer der Samurai wird. Die Entwicklung von einem gebrochenen Krieger zu einem Mann, der seinen Platz in einer neuen Welt sucht, war äußerst bewegend und hat mich vollkommen in den Bann gezogen.
Aber auch die japanischen Schauspieler haben mich mit ihren herausragenden Darbietungen fasziniert und restlos begeistert. Ken Watanabe verkörpert den Samurai-Anführer Katsumoto mit solch einer Präsenz und Authentizität, dass ich mich regelrecht in seinen Charakter verliebt habe. Seine ruhige Würde und sein tiefer Glaube an den Ehrenkodex des Bushido haben mich zutiefst beeindruckt.
Neben den beiden Hauptdarstellern muss auch die Leistung der anderen Nebendarsteller hervorgehoben werden. Namen wie Hiroyuki Sanada, Shin Koyamada und Koyuki haben mich mit ihrer Nuanciertheit und Hingabe in ihren Rollen fasziniert. Besonders berührend war für mich dabei die Beziehung zwischen Taka und Nathan Algren. Koyuki verkörpert ihre Figur mit subtiler Sensibilität und verleiht Algrens körperlicher und emotionaler Veränderung im Film eine authentische Darstellung. Man kann förmlich spüren, wie sein Respekt und seine Anerkennung für die japanische Kultur und die Samurai wachsen. Koyukis Performance ist einfühlsam und nuanciert, und sie vermittelt auf eindrucksvolle Weise die Tiefe der Veränderungen, die sowohl ihr Charakter als auch Algren durchleben. Es ist von großer Emotion erfüllt, zu beobachten, wie Taka Algren auf seinem Weg begleitet und ihn dabei unterstützt, die inneren Konflikte sowohl bei ihr selbst als auch bei ihm zu überwinden. Diese Entwicklung ist tief berührend und zeigt, wie Liebe und Verständnis die Kraft haben, selbst die tiefsten Wunden zu heilen. Ihre Darstellungen verleihen dem Film eine zusätzliche Tiefe und machen ihn zu einem wahrhaftigen Meisterwerk
"Last Samurai" mag zwar nicht zu 100% historisch korrekt sein, aber dennoch gelingt es dem Film auf eindrucksvolle Weise, die damalige Zeit und das Ende einer Ära einzufangen. Besonders die Darstellung des Bushido, des japanischen Ehrenkodexes, spielt eine zentrale Rolle. Der Film vermittelt ein fesselndes Bild des Bushido, des Weges des Samurai, der zu jener Zeit von großer Bedeutung war. Die Charaktere verkörpern auf beeindruckende Weise die Werte des Bushido wie Tapferkeit, Ehre und Loyalität. Damit schafft der Film eine berührende und authentische Darstellung dieser historischen Tradition.
Die beeindruckenden Szenen, die die Rituale der Samurai und den Konflikt zwischen Tradition und Moderne in "Last Samurai" darstellen, haben mich tief berührt und zum Nachdenken angeregt. Der Film hat mich insgesamt mit seiner mitreißenden Erzählweise, den einfühlsamen Darstellungen aller Haupt- und Nebendarsteller und der tiefgründigen Thematik tief beeindruckt. Es ist ein absolutes Muss für jeden Filmfan, der ein packendes und emotionales Filmerlebnis sucht.
