The Last Samurai is one of my favorite films. I like it because while it's history is off kilter it does provide an example of what the Samurai strove to be, characteristics that were personified in the character of Katsumoto, the Saigo Takamori-inspired leader of the rebellion. It's also the first movie I ever saw with Ken Watanabe, who is now one of my favorite actors, Japanese or otherwise.
I love this!! Japanese history is so fascinating. You have to admire their bravery, but you also have to question their stubbornness and pride. Anyways, I really enjoyed this. Hope everyone has a great day!💜
Thanks to asian language. It has an edge on english insofar as how it allows users to perceive time and something that is happening to them as opposed to something they are fully responsible for acting upon.

Hiya ollie... What a very interesting part of history. I found the deaths and bravery of these men very sad. Saigo followed his beliefs and committed seppuku (hara Kiri) how tragic. I enjoyed listening to your narration. Thank you
You Picked Another Good One. Loved The Story! It's Sad It Ended The Way It Did. I Guess There Was Nothing Left For Them In A Modern World... Unfortunately, Change For Some People IS Death.
Hi Ollie. Love stories of Japan. Their way of life so different and intriguing. Being locked down for over 200 plus years and not allowed to venture off or have visitors. As usual the start of wars was perpetrated by false flags. Nothing changes. Have to watch the last samurai once more. Cheers.
@@Agapy8888 me to catch a small cold but now is much better it's because the weather is going crazy here in Germany but i think spring is coming at last❤Enjoy your weekend🙋♀️😁‼
I have seen the Movie "The Last Samari" I loved the Movie! Although it was Fictionalized, I had no knowledge that it was based on this Remarkable Man! Modernization, Technology, brings many benefits, there is no question about that! It also brings the Demise of a Way of Life, and in my opinion; a Terrible Loss of Values. Now in Society the Young think, and believe that the World owns them everything! They have no idea of hard Manual Work! Of earning, Respect, they spend all their time on Cellphones, playing Make Belief Games on Digital Players. Our Leaders are Worthless, no true Leadership with Honor! How the World could use a Man with Dignity, Honesty, Integrity!! Thst no longer exists!!
I just discovered your channel two days ago. Your content is incredible. I work twelve hours shifts. Your videos make my days at work so much better!!! Thanks, and keep up the killer work!!!
Love this! Love learning about the Samurai even when some of the Samurai done very questionable things I'm still in awe of them! There's a good movie with Hiyroki Sanada? Called the Twilight Samurai if you've not seen it I'd give it a look!!😁
I'm an american and a Texan and i like my guns but if the gun vanished and went back into battling with a blade wars would die out and be a lot less common
This is really awesome story, but also sad because they lost there roots there old ways of living, which shouldn’t of happened, even the sword smiths and everyone else who use to make them swords were amazing people the swords 🗡 were so good no one else can make weapons like that.
Why couldn't samurai have been promised high military positions, even keeping the title of samurai. While modernizing into cohesive unita with the "lower classes"...? Pride?
why did the samurai not allowed themselves to be integrated and commanded by the civilian agents of the emperor ? Why do they still want to be a direct authority from emperor and not be equal to other agencies ? are they not aware of the civilian supremacy/rights over military as the modern concept of government ?
Many samurai later integrated as generals, officiers, soldiers e.t.c into the modern Japanese army. But some protested because were not happy about civilians having equal rights to them as previously that had privileges that made have a higher social status. They wanted to maintain the feudal order to have more privileges and not give them up.
Great Video. I am a great fan of japanese history. Talking about Japan: It would be nice to see a video about Shimizu Jirocho, the famous XIX century Yakuza and folk hero.
After I learned what the Japanese soldiers did to the Korean "Comfort Women" during WWII, and years later refusing to acknowledge that it actually happened, really sours my view of these once proud people.
@@thejudgmentalcat thank you it really bothersome when a person tries to dismiss the whole book (truth) by few pages of disapproval. When every country who has been to war has done horrific deeds its just that the victor tells the story 😕
When my papa was dying, we were at home & he had hospice. His cancer had come back and it was just a matter of a little over a week before he was gone. The last movie he was conscious for was The Last Samurai with Tom Cruise. I only watched it because he seemed happy to have it on but would ask me every 5mim what movie was on, complain that it's kinda shit, but then protest when I'd offer to change it to something he'd like. His reasoning? "Nah, we may as well see this shit show through." Makes me laugh & a little sad to remember those days. I was just 12 and he was my everything. I still feel bad he went out having to watch Tim Cruise's mediocre white washed role in that movie.
Nathan Algren is just a fictional character, but he was inspired by the real person. Jules Brunet a french commander. The Last Samurai is based on real life.

Almost word for word what I was thinking I remember the first time I watched it when I was 12
@@johnevergreen8019 I'm glad that I'm not the only one thinking this, then :D
I too enjoyed The Last Samurai very much. Even though the history of it was off, I still enjoyed it.
A really fascinating story, thank you for sharing
Ooh! Hi Mortis! Nice to see you here 😊

There is so much more to his story. There was a very good book written about him by John Mann
Incredible story . Incredible man . Truly awe inspiring .
I'm an american and a Texan and i like my guns but if the gun vanished and went back into battling with a blade wars would die out and be a lot less common
I agree! Everyone would be even more scared i think lol Thank you for watching!

👍😁
Great story Ollie thank you so much 🙋♀️❤❤
Awesome video!! I'm always proud of my heritage
Love it! I grew up with this story.
Fantastic story thank you!
The 13th Shogun's name was Iesada [i-eh-sa-da] Tokugawa, not Lesada.
His eyes and eye brow, looks like okinawaian.
My grandfather is from naha.
Born about 1889.
A sad but honorable story and life
Better to be a warrior in a garden than to be a gardener in a war.
Great video.
Saigo Takamori and his ancestors used matchlock firearms because, it was a form of shock missile unit as bow was also used to cover reloading.
It was very good!
Have a wonderful weekend dear❤❤😁🙋♀️‼
Vous avez évoqué Jules Brunet ?
Did you mention Jules Brunet?

You left Tom Cruise out, he was there the whole time and even survived the last charge 🤣
Great Video. I am a great fan of japanese history. Talking about Japan: It would be nice to see a video about Shimizu Jirocho, the famous XIX century Yakuza and folk hero.
Saigo Takamori R I P
RIP Saigo
So basically this is a way better script than the movie.
Yes, but why did you not mention Tom Cruise in the video?
Imperial force defied, facing 500 samurai
After I learned what the Japanese soldiers did to the Korean "Comfort Women" during WWII, and years later refusing to acknowledge that it actually happened, really sours my view of these once proud people.
And the WWII rape of Nanjing, China.
I have a feeling there is a lot of history between the two countries we westerners aren't taught.

Once proud? They're a world economic power. Technology engineering. Car industry best in the world.
@@danchinoloves7804 👍😁👍‼‼
Every single battle in the history of mankind has had these pilaging and rape stories....stealing land and trying to end cultures.
Where he messed up when he left the Emperors side
Jules burnet + saigo takamori = THE LAST SAMURAI
👍👍👍

No it wasnt. It was a white guy named was Nathan Algren. Even made a movie on it......the last samurai an Asian person?! Thats perposperous!!!
LOL - Thank you so much for watching!

good job usa
The last samurai would have been a great movie if is wasent for the unfortunate casting of that idiot Tom Cruise.
this is the story behind japanese march "Battotai"
They were fools.
They were warriors
and he is called saigo...lol
1st
Tom Cruise is the only true last samurai all other last samurai are false last samurai.
So . He was wrong. A fanatic . End of story .
Schizophrenic pronunciation throughout.
