Last Samurai

[Abilene Slim SASS 81783]

I’m not a fan of mostTom Cruise movies, so with some trepidation we tuned into “The Last Samurai” on Netflix. 
 

An entertaining film IMO with the plot much like a Hollywood western. Woulda been better with cowboy costumes tho.

I quite enjoyed the movie.

I to am not the biggest Tom fan but liked this one.

Not a bad movie.   Although him surviving being hit 20 or 30 times with 45-70 rounds is pretty farfetched.

“They are all perfect.”

 

Good philosophy.

Maybe we need a Last Samurai category in CAS where you have to shoot a target coming at you on horseback with a Samurai sword.

 

or... maybe not.

Just flesh wounds.   If I remeber correctly there is a scene in the film where he is wearing a U.S. uniform and has a sheathed sword.  The tip of the sheaths is dragging on the floor.

So were his pant legs; Tom is vertically challenged.

 

I was more impressed with the archery than I was with the guns.  Even if some of it was staged.

For a Tom Cruise movie it was fairly mature. Probably the best actor though wasn't him or Ken Watanabe, but Hiroyuki Sanada (who plays the Samurai who detests him). Basically he's a modern-day Toshiro Mifune.

I can not stand him as a person.

 

But the boy makes pretty good movies.

I've never met him, so have no idea as to whether I can stand him as a person.

Yeah, 45-70 is a mouse fart load, isn't it?

That reminded me of an old Charles Bronson flick. There's nothing like a western with a samurai in it. It's called Red Sun. Check it out.

What caliber did Charley get shot with?    

Or, what caliber was the sword.....

I can tell you and Mr Bronson were friends. Not everybody can call him Charley. 

The sword was a 1000 fold traditional katana. Spoiler......they would have gotten along better if there had been a Dairy Queen.

I agree whole heartedly
