Stupid, sure, but it's not my place to deem it offensive.

I wasn't sure if he was being called The Last Samaurai or Ken Watanabe. Watanabe was the last of the samurai

Algren was not the last samurai, the title was referring to Katsumoto.

Same that Hawkeye was not The Last of The Mohicans in that movie it was his adopted father Chingachgoook.

He wasn't the Last Samurai though, which anyone who watched the movie would know.

It's pretty well established that Katsumoto is the last samurai.

It's a great movie.. Hans Zimmer kills it and the battles are exciting as hell.

People to this day completely misinterpret the movie. Tom Cruise being a powerful samurai has nothing to do with his whiteness, and everything to do with his extremely high Thetan levels.

Tom Cruise wasn't Samurai. He was just a soldier who learned how to fight with a katana and spent some time in Japan.

I want to link to the Paul Mooney joke about this, but Im afraid that itll be moderated.


Was that Paul Mooney? For some reason I thought it was Chris Rock. I must be thinking of a different joke.

I literally don't remember anything about the movie other than Tom Cruise walking on a rampart while they're shooting cannons. I refuse to believe the movie is as good as people claim. Otherwise surely I'd remember it.

Not really because the story might have been loosely based on William Adams, who was an Englishman that actually did go to Japan and became a samurai.

It's based on Jules Brunet, who was a French officer who went to Japan as an instructor but later fought against the emperor in a rebellion.
