What The Last Samurai Is About
Edward Zwick's 2003 film follows an American officer called in to train the Japanese army at the end of the nineteenth century. Taken prisoner in battle, he stays in a samurai village. There he becomes attached to their way of life. The film sets modernisation against tradition; it was criticised later for keeping the outsider at the centre, and it also takes liberties with history. Tom Cruise and Ken Watanabe lead. The battles are large in scale. It runs long. Who it's for: those who like period war films. Who it's not for: viewers expecting the Japanese characters at the centre of their own story; the film does not provide it.
