I`m angry... Academy`s neglecting Last Samurai was a huge crime... What kind of politics was that!? I`ve been a Academy fan for long time, but this crime totally changed my viewpoint. Last Samurai is work of art. I`ve never known "acting" can bring out such an impact on story. Not only Tom & Ken Watanabe but Koyuki, Hiroyuki Sanada and even children act so well...Just incredible...

Absolutely breath taking.. I would really like to let Edward Zwick know how much I loved this movie. I think most people underestimate this movie.. Sure a lot of people think it`s a really good movie.. But it`s much more than just a `good movie` it isn`t a good movie, its the best of all good, great and amazing movies.. it tops them all. I honestly cried at the end I got so attached to these characters I honestly felt when Algren-san (Nathen Algren) `Helped` Katsumoto preform Seppuku... It was so sad... I am a big Japan freak And I`ve been studying Japan and it`s language for Seven years now. I love it!

I think it was a well done movie and Tom Cruise deserved a lot more credit for his role then people gave him. Definately one of the years best films!

An inspiration film about the human spirit...reminded me of Braveheart. Quite suprised it didn`t receive more nominations at the Oscars.
