The Last Samurai movie is an award winning work, but it is also a bastardization of reality. Come see why it is so vile in its contempt of the very history it wishes to portray. Anachronism be damned. • ------------------------------------------------------------ • more videos: • previous: • • Hollywood, guns, and history - common... • related: • • The opening of Japan and the word tyc... • ------------------------------------------------------------ • references: • Ravina, Mark.

The film stars Tom Cruise, who also co-produced, with Timothy Spall, Ken Watanabe, Billy Connolly, Tony Goldwyn, Hiroyuki Sanada, Koyuki, and Shin Koyamada in supporting roles. • Tom Cruise portrays a formerly retired officer of the United States 7th Cavalry Regiment, whose personal and emotional conflicts bring him into contact with samurai warriors in the wake of the Meiji Restoration in 19th Century Japan. The film's plot was inspired by the 1877 Satsuma Rebellion led by Saigō Takamori, and the westernization of Japan by foreign powers, though in the film the United States is portrayed as the primary force behind the push for westernization. To a lesser extent it is also influenced by the stories of Jules Brunet, a French army captain who fought alongside Enomoto Takeaki in the earlier Boshin War and Frederick Townsend Ward, an American mercenary who helped Westernize the Chinese army by forming the Ever Victorious Army. • The Last Samurai grossed a total of $456 million[2] at the box office and was well received upon its release, receiving praise for the acting, writing, directing, score, visuals, costumes and messages. It was nominated for several awards, including four Academy Awards, three Golden Globe Awards, and two National Board of Review Awards. • ------------------------------------------------------------ • Hashtags: #history #Saigo #samurai #Japan #review #BasedOnATrueStory #LastSamurai #SaigoTakamori #Satsuma
