last samurai review
the movie has a splendid cinematography. the director precisely depicted the different Japanese customs. even the costumes were scrupulously made and the fighting scenes are realistic. the Japanese people's elegance, meticulousness, industriousness and remarkable history was portrayed in utmost beauty in this movie.
In all fairness to Tom Cruise's authentic action stunts, in my opinion. the character that out stands most was Ken Watanabe who played as Katsumoto. just by looking at him gave us a sense of respect to his great stature. he always had the air of dignity and honor in him, characteristics that were consistent and undisputed throughout the movie. moreover, his character gave us a wider and better view of what is it to be a samurai. that being such is not at all times living in blood thirst battles but also in love and devotion to his country and duty towards his people.
furthermore, this movie delineated the conflict between the eradication of past culture to gave ingress to the modern world. it is a constant warring even on contemporary times the tag-of-war between the relinquishing of ones tradition to embrace the modern ways. it is a challenge on each nation on how to remain or continue the traditions even in the advent of technology. the movie in all aspects revolved around this conflict or this theme.
verily sacrifices are essential for a nation to prosper. but what made a nation are its traditions, customs and beliefs, so it isn't rational and it makes no sense to eradicate these.
