The Last Samurai It is an epic film set in 1870s in Japan. The main character is an angry, alcoholic, former US Army captain who finds inner peace after embracing the culture he was originally hired to destroy.
This film has all the necessary ingredients: beautiful Japanese landscapes and costumes, battlefields and eastern philosophy. It is a human story of one Westerner learning to embrace another culture. It is an engaging story with panache, and a climactic ending. "The Last Samurai” is a great film!
