The Last Samurai, with tom cruise

Action/Adventure
2 hrs. 24 min. Set in the late 1870s, this epic film depicts the beginnings of the modernization of Japan, as the island nation evolved past a feudal society, as symbolized by the eradication of the samurai way of life. We see all this happen from the point of view of an alcoholic Civil War veteran turned Winchester guns spokesman, Captain Woodrow Algren (Cruise), who arrives in Japan to train the troops of the emperor, Meiji, as part of a break away from the long-held tradition of relying on employed samurai warriors to protect territories, as the emperor's new army prepares to wipe out the remaining samurai warriors. When Algren is injured in combat and captured by the samurai, he learns about their warrior honor code from their leader, Katsumoto, which forces him to decide which side of the conflict he actually wants to be on.

I really liked this movie. It was so sad! I actually just finished watching it right now. Our supervisor bought us the tickets so I went with my department. We were actually supposed to watch "Something's Gotta Give"...but the projector was broken, so they gave us a raincheck on that movie and told us we can watch another one for free....so we watched this one. Two thumbs up, for real.

my friend told me it was really good.. she said it made her cry and she aint the crying type so who knows... might go c it
