Film: The Last Samurai (2003)

DVD: Enhanced 16x9
The Last Samurai (Two-Disc Special Edition)

"He's rude."
"That's how it is here. A land of cheap traders."

Review: This a really good movie, it is entertaining and beautifully filmed. The ninja attack on the village is one of the highlights of the film. My only complaint is the last 10 minutes where it went overboard with the schmaltz. If it had ended on the battlefield this would be an almost perfect movie.

"Just tell me one thing, what is it about your own people you hate so much?"

"Every soldier has nightmares."
"Only one who is ashamed of what he has done."

3 1/2 out of 4 Stars
