"That is one of the best movies I've ever seen." You guys totally get this movie. One of the best reactions I've seen. This is among the contenders for my favorite film of all time, and I enjoy seeing lots of different people's reactions to it. You both got it: all the humorous bits, the deeper bits, the romance and subtlety, the nobility and meaning of it all. Not once did I hear you complain about a white guy becoming a samurai and saving the Japanese people. You actually stated the premise, that "Katsumoto was the last samurai." You even teared up at the right parts. Also, props for mentioning Taka's character performance, and the score, as well. She is one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen in a movie, and it is mostly down to her elegance and feminine force, and not only her physical form. The score is perfect, obviously. This is a film anyone who appreciates well-crafted cinema can enjoy. But, at a deeper level, this also happens to be a movie that resonates with men, in particular: duty, beauty, morality and peace. Nicely done, blokes!
Salty….Jacob and I agree that you should be our best friend lol, everything you said was so spot on, this has easily moved to the top of my movies list, and I believe will enter my rotation of yearly films, a true masterpiece.
@@ReelReviewHQ Ha, well, I'd be honored, I'm sure, to join such noble ranks! If we ever talk more about stuff, and then stop for some dramatic and poignant reason, I will be sure to miss our conversations. :D Cheers!
This film is a masterpiece. An underrated masterpiece. Every time it makes me cry, Algren's healing journey as much as the tragedy. I'm glad you could hear the soundtrack's beauty too :)
Okay, I'm 17 minutes in. Already I fucking LOVE you guys. You're absorbing everything I would hope from a reactor watching this film. I'm getting the popcorn 🍿
That's the best reaction to this movie I've seen, guys. Thank you! It was like watching a movie with friends. Feeling, thinking, empathizing. With very deep feelings. This is my favorite movie: the music, this Japanese village, the tradition, the scenery, the complicated story with Taka and the children, the respect, the Tom’s acting. The phrase: I'll tell you how he lived" makes me cry every fucking time.
Thank you so much! This movie was powerful and hit hard for us, Yes the complicated relationship with Taka was willllllld, tore us apart and left us hopeful that if forgiveness like that can exist, than the world could be amazing
@@ReelReviewHQ I don`t think there is anything to forgive because he did what soldiers do in battle. It`s what her husband did to other soldiers and their families.
I've seen this movie a few times, but damn guys....it was a pleasure to watch again through your eyes! You hang your hearts out for us! After this channel blows the f up, can't wait to be able to say i remember when, and I was here to see it all! ❤
I’m so glad you are here along for the ride with us! Thank you for watching with us, and seriously thank you for the support. This one had me crying lol we truly loved it!
I didn’t expect to love this movie as much as I did either. I had no idea what I was going into when my brother recommended it. At the time I was usually a romantic comedy girl but my bro wanted to expand my horizons so I watched The Last Samurai and it is one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. Everything about it works for me. The perfect score, the breathtaking cinematography, the script - so many memorable amazing lines, the acting by all the cast. Every character just felt fully realised & understood. They each have their own moments even the kids. Just a beautiful film. Great reaction guys.
This is my FAVORITE movie. I’ve seen it a few times every year since it came out. I love traditional Japanese culture, so much so I’ve backpacked across Japan to learn traditional art forms. This film highlights how beautiful and poetic Japanese culture is at its core. Your guys reaction was the first time I felt like there was an appreciation for all the details and moments that feel so specific to the values of the culture. I’ve practiced kendo, and use to do Kabuki and Taiko performances and this movie showcases so much of the energy you feel when in the practice. I just love it.
It was so easy to be immersed quickly, with this one. An astonishing film, phenomenal acting and beautiful themes of forgiveness of self and others. And the beauty in not only the answer but the teaching of the lesson itself. Thank you for watching this one with us!
Love your reaction you guys are great! This movie gets a lot of shallow judgment from people that have never seen it but it’s a beautiful film in all aspects and my personal favorite.
An interviewer tried to 'cancel' this movie and get Ken Watanabe to bash Tom as a "white savior" stereotype in the film because "a white man was the last samurai".....Ken schooled them saying he never thought of it like that - no one on the film ever claimed Algren was the last samurai. It was always Katsumoto. The one that was saved is Algren. Anyone that didn't get that while simultaneously trying to call the film racist for "virtue points" ARE the racists. Also saw the comment that Last Samurai is not necessarily singular vs plural invoking the entire clan &/or the way of life itself.
This masterpiece is my absolute favorite movie ever. It is not a war movie but a movie about Japanese culture, about respect, honor, loyalty. The cast, the soundtrack, the production TOP CLASS!! 🎬🏯
i so much appreciate your guys take on this one. the parts of the movie you focus on are, i feel, the important ones, and things that most other reviewers either 1) fail to recognize because they’re too focused on the cinematography aspects, or 2) too in-depth to give more than their cursory overview. yall, on the other hand, comment on all the things that make me cry watching this movie. keep up the excellent work
Your guy’s reaction at the end is exactly how my buddies and me felt when we left the theater back when this came out. There was just so much to say, but we couldn’t quite find the words because we were so emotional. I went back two more times to see it at the theater. I’m still blown away by this movie.
I've watched dozens of reactions of this movie, but I appreciate your attention to small details that many people miss. The honest awe you guys give to the world and the music of Zimmer, I love it. You guys have earned my like. ^_^ Keep up the good work.
I’ve watched The Last Samurai so many times, but I think I finally understand the ending. When Nathan says to the emperor, "If you believe me to be your enemy, command me, and I will gladly take my life," that line is what changes everything for the emperor. At their first meeting, the emperor admired Nathan as a symbol of everything he wanted for modern Japan-Western strength, technology, and military power. But after witnessing Nathan fully immerse himself in Japan’s old culture and embrace it so deeply that he was willing to die for it, the emperor couldn’t ignore how truly valuable their own traditions were. Nathan's transformation showed the emperor that Japan’s heritage wasn’t something to be discarded in the pursuit of modernization. Instead, it was something to protect and honor.
You guys I watch a lot of reaction content and let me just say I wish every reaction was as heartfelt and genuine as this one, keep it up you guys looking forward to more
At the 11:25 mark, yall are talking about portryals of PTSD in this era. I’d recommend you look into the 2018 Film ‘Hostiles’ with Christian Bale and Wes Studi, it’s criminally overlooked because nobody heard about it when it came out which is a shame because it’s phenomenal and has some of the best acting I’ve seen in a star studded cast.
26:30 its not about wanting to prove anything. its simply a bold refusal of reality in the face of defeat. I have not suffered defeat, because you have not crushed my will to fight. no matter how broken and battered, no matter how bloody and wounded, I will keep coming at you with all the fury and fire I can muster. I fight, because it is what I do, and I continue to from the moment I open my eyes, until the moment my enemy closes them for the last time. Also, 36:20 Of course he has to hit you that hard. Pain is a great teacher, and the more blood you shed on the training field, the less you shed on the battlefield!
James Horner composer Edward Zwick Director. Those two were a pair unrivaled in the art of film making. Last Samurai Glory Legends of the Fall The storytelling and emotion are unmatched
I saw this on the big screen when it was released. I was so impressed by the Hans Zimmer score that I bought the (then) CD and always played it on my long commute. Remember..... Tom Cruise does his own stunts..... also impressive.
I just found your channel. This movie is just.. Perfection. No many how many times I see it, it is.. Beautiful. Nice reaction! Slapped me a sub button!
The fighting in the rain with the wooden swords scene is interesting. I think Algren not giving up can either be interpreted as him being just brave or it could be him just being masochistic and wanting to punish himself for his past crimes. Either way, that sort of thinking clashes with the Japanese warrior mentality of accepting the shame of defeat. In a way, to them, Algren is shameless.
The beauty of the scene with the Boken is that the Japanese captain tells him to throw the katana to the ground, and he never obeys. In the end, the only option the Japanese captain has is to take the katana from his hand. That is exactly what he does. At no point does he surrender, and he never drops his katana, even though he is taking a beating.
Jacob, personally I believe that there are multiple ways to meditate. Anything that can help you focus on this "one thing", kinda tune things off, could be considered meditating in a way? To me that happens when I'm crocheting. I just get in the zone for hours sometimes. (: maybe you just need to find what works for you.
Oh wow I never looked at it that way! In that case I’d say playing piano is something I find very meditative. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!
*bowing fellow samuari's' superb reaction. This film is truly powerful and a grand masterpiece and breakdd my heart each time I watched it. Phenomenal story, amazing acting and truly a work of art in all ways. Really enjoyed your reaction to this film. 👏👏🤝 Right, I can't comment on anymore reactions untill I've seen some of the films you've already done a reaction on lol
I've not watched any of the twilight films, only because they're not for me lol I'm more of a interview with the vampire kinda guy. Not seen borderlands yet but I've missed your reaction on the witch. Which I will watch once I've slept lol
Nice!! My favorite movie of all time! Great reaction and I’m glad you guys loved it as well! And I agree, Hans Zimmer = the 🐐! To the gentleman on the right- For when you’re out tearing it up on your motorcycle, I HIGHLY recommend listening to the track (from the OST) called “The Final Charge”, trust me! 😎👍🏼👍🏼
i first watched when I was like 18 years old this movie. Maybe younger, I remember liking it not loving it though, that could've been due to arrogance and not educated enough at that age. Now at (28) I love the film. Easily one of the best films in the entire film history. It easily ranks top 50 of all movies I have watched and even heard of.
I love your guys' reaction to this movie. Personally, one of my favorite movies of all time. I know it gets a bad rep with Western audiences , and also a bad rep in Japan a bit. Not so much, but this is honestly one of the best movies of all time in my mind. I loved it. I don't care about the "white savior tropes" . This is a movie that I can watch when I'm down, upset. So, I just love you guys' reaction. Just enjoy the movie, man.❤
It’s an absolute beauty of a film, To us it was never about Nathan, but a story of Katzumoto and Japan, told through the lens of Nathan, a triumph of a film :)
Great movie. There are some historical inaccuracies, but the feel of the movie was spot on. I think the best acting job by Cruise, who sometimes seems to be a caricature of himself. But not in this movie. A similar feel with Dances With Wolves with Kevin Costner if you've never seen that. Also, Legends of the Fall which on the surface looks like a chick flick but is so much more. Like Last Samurai, directed by Edward Zwick.
You should check out the first live action of Rurouni Kenshin. The lead was a previous Kamen Rider and amazing stuntman and they based it on the Kenshin OVA, so it’s very serious and touching. Set in the same time period, right before the industrialization and westernization of Japan.
I didn’t even know they did a live action!!?? I’m a big fan of Kenshin the Anime Samurai X 100% gonna look this up now, thank you for the recommendation!!
haha I get that too! I just think it was unnecessary in terms of the themes of the story. And maybe a little unrealistic? I mean he did kill her husband, the father of their children. But I get the whole honor redemption thing too, and he did step up for the family when he realized what he’d done. I guess I wish they had left the connection/attraction between the 2 of them more unspoken instead of the whole shower and dressing scene
This is my All Time Favorite Movie, I watched it more than 100 times over the last 20 years ... whenever i am traveling i watch it, when i was late in work watch many clips of it, read so many debates about how epic this movie? I joined many debates and i compared this movie with Movie called Dances with Wolves 1990, on how a solder or a ranked office has enough morals and ethics will not accept any kind of criminal behavior against innocent people even if we kind of war with them. that is the main theme of the mental state of the main character. and i just loved that they didn't show any Love/sex scene and only showed that tender kiss which equal 100 min of all other movies love scenes. P.C. wrote this comment at 2:47 run time of this reaction video ... i always love to write my opinion before hear or read other reactors comments and commentary. Best Of Regards from Egypt. This is the first video i watch for you. hope wont be the last.
@@ReelReviewHQ The Kiss was Fantastic, and i loved that they went for this and didn't choose the normal kind of Hollywood's way. And By the way i just finished watching your reaction video, and guys .. Guys ... Both of you are Fantastic .. I loved so many moments of this movie .. This movie is a Top Tier in every thing Acting, Music, Cinematography Screen Writing. Masterpiece .... AND .... about this video : I LOVED EVERY SEC OF THIS VIDEO ... I liked that both of you showed your emotions as any normal person will feel about this movie, i watched many reaction for this movie and i can tell you there are even girls didn't cry or tear to not show emotions and saw guys cold as stone, as they watch something normal like people washing their hands after having a dinner .. Thank You and i will check your channel and watch the reaction videos for my favorite movies.
@ReelReviewHQ Basic synopsis of the Cherokee creation story, is that the world was just water. The animals were curious about what was below it, and one of them went down and brought up mud, which became the earth. Over time, the earth was formed into what we know now by the animals (The mountains were made by a bird flapping it's wings as it flew around to see of the mud was dry yet, for example). It's being held up by 4 cords attached to the sky world (where the animals used to live), and once the world is old and worn out, the cords will break and the earth will sink back into the sea.
Fairy tale. Japan didn't took USA as example of anything on that time. They had Germany for the Army and Britain for the Navy. On that time, USA didn't count for the rest of the world.

One of my favorite parts was Katsimoto realizing EVERY cherry blossom is perfect at the end of is life . “Life in every breath”
I’m about to cry…stop. His character was absolutely amazing
“When I took these..you were my enemy”

The fighting in the rain with the wooden swords scene is interesting. I think Algren not giving up can either be interpreted as him being just brave or it could be him just being masochistic and wanting to punish himself for his past crimes. Either way, that sort of thinking clashes with the Japanese warrior mentality of accepting the shame of defeat. In a way, to them, Algren is shameless.

I joined many debates and i compared this movie with Movie called Dances with Wolves 1990, on how a solder or a ranked office has enough morals and ethics will not accept any kind of criminal behavior against innocent people even if we kind of war with them.
that is the main theme of the mental state of the main character.
and i just loved that they didn't show any Love/sex scene and only showed that tender kiss which equal 100 min of all other movies love scenes.
P.C. wrote this comment at 2:47 run time of this reaction video ... i always love to write my opinion before hear or read other reactors comments and commentary.
Best Of Regards from Egypt.
This is the first video i watch for you. hope wont be the last.
Thank you so much for watching with us! We agree so much! The kiss was absolutely perfect nothing to overly lustful or loving. Just perfect

The Kiss was Fantastic, and i loved that they went for this and didn't choose the normal kind of Hollywood's way.
And By the way i just finished watching your reaction video, and guys .. Guys ... Both of you are Fantastic ..
I loved so many moments of this movie .. This movie is a Top Tier in every thing Acting, Music, Cinematography Screen Writing.
Masterpiece ....
AND .... about this video :
I LOVED EVERY SEC OF THIS VIDEO ... I liked that both of you showed your emotions as any normal person will feel about this movie,
i watched many reaction for this movie and i can tell you there are even girls didn't cry or tear to not show emotions and saw guys cold as stone, as they watch something normal like people washing their hands after having a dinner ..

Actually we do, it's just from the Indigenous Americans, instead of the people that came over and claimed the country.
Probably true! Do you know any awesome stories?
@ReelReviewHQ Basic synopsis of the Cherokee creation story, is that the world was just water. The animals were curious about what was below it, and one of them went down and brought up mud, which became the earth. Over time, the earth was formed into what we know now by the animals (The mountains were made by a bird flapping it's wings as it flew around to see of the mud was dry yet, for example).
It's being held up by 4 cords attached to the sky world (where the animals used to live), and once the world is old and worn out, the cords will break and the earth will sink back into the sea.
Own this movie in multiple formats, Including HD-DVD for my Xbox hddvd expansion drive. Lol
I now want it on all my devices lol it’s so good, did you see it in theaters?
Watch Anna & the King next!
I always took it as Nathan Algren was The Last Samurai.
I wouldn't. He was not Samurai. He was an attendant and held in high honor at the end, but never was a Samurai like Katsumoto.
hans zimmer my man!
Hans Zimmer is incredible!!!
Dude... You're a couple of decades beyond the 'agility of a feline'...
It's a youngster game.
Fairy tale. Japan didn't took USA as example of anything on that time. They had Germany for the Army and Britain for the Navy. On that time, USA didn't count for the rest of the world.
Still a good fairy tale
Hans Zimmer, Enrico Morricone and John Williams. They are the shizzle for hizzle.
100%%%%
