The Last Samurai

[Spiff]

Well i'm gonna go see it tonight, thought i'd pre-emptively post a thread for discussion. Some one else might have seen it see?

[Aquablue]

Nope, haven't seen it yet. I will see it though, I think the movie is interesting (and I've always liked the samurai :)).

[Spiff]

In depth analysis:

Pretty good, doesnt drag at any point. Its no The Return of the King though...

Doomed cavalry charges seem to be all the rage these days, and Cruises character being the only one who survived was a bit weird

[Spiff]

No problem, wouldnt want to ruin it for anyone

Yea that's going to be hard for me now going forward after seeing the LOTR Tillogy and going to try and see other films.

I think I will stay away from movies like Last Samurai and stuff until I've rinsed my brain with a couple good commedies. :D LOL

I haven't seen The Last Samurai yet, but I want to. Although... I don't think it can be found in Reno anywhere now... so I'll have to wait till it comes out on DVD. :(

I Loved the movie UP until the ( Hollywood ) ending :) wouldn't mind owning the DVD .

heh... they have one in Cold Mountain as well. Boy does that movie suck arse. Cept the Nicole Kidman/Jude Law love scene is kind of hot.

For me the best part of the movie was the first 10 minutes -OMG ..Amazing Civil War Scenes !!!!!

[freshie]

...i needa life !!

As well as a MAJOR SPOILER WARNING, for those who haven't seen the movie.

[radio667]

OMG - Your Right :eek: Sorry i will Edit my Last Post - I am so Sorry about that Guys !!!

[teppic]

lol, could you PM me what you posted plz radio? i dont really wanna go see the movie, but i could do with a LOL.

cheers ;)

[teppic]

LMAO, cant believe he posted that...

*bump*

just thought i'd inform everyone that i'll probs be going to see this on saturday...well thats the plan, altho i havent talked to my "friends" about it yet...

[teppic]

FYI, i'm off to see this movie now...hopefully i dont get knifed in Glasgow tonight :rolleyes:

[teppic]

well, my friend insisted on finishing a game of Madden on PS2, meaning we missed the train by 3 minutes, in turn meaning we missed the movie by around 15 minutes...saturday is a popular day for movies in glasgow it seems, and everything else in the world's tallest cinema (including Love Actually) was sold out :angst:

we ended up heading down the road to the Odeon and saw Paycheck, having missed the first 12 minutes, but deciding it was better than nothing.

i would recommend this movie if you have seen every other movie that is currently out.

otherwise, dont go see it...it aint exactly brilliant...Uma Thurman sure is bruteiful

[HortonsWho]

Ummmm.... maybe you should avoid movie going... and trains... for a while... :p

[Spiff]

Ummmm.... maybe you should avoid movie going... and trains... for a while... :p

But that way you'll never get to see the last samurai, which really wasnt that bad in most respects

[teppic]

yeh, and i need to see Love Actually too...

the funnmy thing is, i have NO idea what the movie is about...lmao

ah well...instead i would perhaps be better off investing my cash in some DVDs...

[Spiff]

You may have a point (...)

[teppic]

--teppic beaming up

[Spiff]

nah he just had a weird way of putting two much emphasis on words

[teppic]

*BUMP*

i *finally* got to see this movie about half an hour ago. all i can say is it is absolutely amazing IMO. i couldn't really fault it. was depressing seeing the samurai getting mowed by guns tho :angst:

now i'm off to bed...got a PE exam tomorrow and i havent revise...hell, i dont even know what the PE exam papers look like. LOL this should be interesting :beer:

[LittleNoochie]

I thought it was a great movie, and I agree with radio, the ending was horrible. Cruise preformed very well in this movies, but that was all exspected. I would recommend this movie to any war movie fans or of samurai movies. It wasn't the "white boy with sword" movie I thought it was going to be.

[teppic]

basically, the last samurai is great.

thats all you need to know.

go see it.

now.
