Was this movie all that bad? Especially starting a white guy instead of an Asian male?
This topic recently came up with a group of friends of mine due to diversity in original characters now (Marvel/Disney I'm talking about you). ... Copied to Clipboard!

Why would it star an Asian male?

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. iirc the whole point is tom cruise plays an american who goes to japan and shows them how to use guns instead of swords --- Phillies Eagles 76ers Flyers 1980 | 2008 | 2019 ...

Nah. It's a great movie.

I think the whole point is that a white guy gets to have the samurai fantasy too, because it's fun to imagine. See the embarrassing scene where the kid catches Cruise in his room mid-Haiyah as he's trying to star wars kid his way to become a samurai master.

This is very different than Jake Gyllenhaal playing the Prince of Persia. Gyllenhaal is a white guy who played a Persian. The Last Samurai was about a Captain in the American army (marines? whatever). You wouldn't have an Asian guy play that role. The point is that he's an American who went to Japan and was captured and learned the ways of the Japanese. So he learns the way of the samurai and becomes a samurai. He's supposed to be a white guy. He comes from a white army. He moved to Japan for the war. Does your race change when you fly overseas?

Shitting on the movie for starring a white Male is missing the point. These dances with wolves movies are about someone of a different culture learning and appreciating a different one. Imagine Avatar but Sam Worthington is already a Na'vi...

When I point out a troll is trolling I get modded and they continue to shit up topics. So I have an alt that I can warn people about trolls with. A good amount of time the person that engaged with the troll will stop. If that happens it's totally worth it. If you think less of me, that's fine. But I don't need trolls following me around all the time on my main. It's happened in the past. Until I finally get enough evidence and get them banned for harassing me. Shitposting isn't a huge deal, and I let most of it go, but there is a time and place for it. --- Holy crap! How have I not set a signature for the message boards yet? ... Copied to Clipboard!

It was really good in my opinion, and obviously based on actual events happening during that time. All the characters were fictionalized versions of real people, including Tom Cruise. It's pretty easy to see who is standing in for who if you do some basic research on the Boshin War.
