This is probably one of the best love scenes I've ever seen, and it's just so understated compared to virtually everything else you get from Hollywood. Just one small kiss and hardly any physical contact, and they still managed to make this scene so incredibly tender and passionate. I guess less really is more.
(I feel like I've lost some masculinity by describing this :L oh well)
on my trip to Japan i stumbled upon a nice man owned a dojo whom still practiced the way of the samurai he gave me a real kitana and two kimonos one for me and the other for my girlfriend i must say kimonos on any women will look sexy!
@Sitti2300 But Algren is American, and Americans did kiss, and if you watch it, he initiates the kiss and she goes along with it. I thought it was perfect, she shows her love and respect through a means of her culture, and then he shoes his love and respect through a means of his culture. I thought it was great.
scenes like this show us that there is absolutely no need for sex in movies.... this scene fully portrays the deep feelings of true love! a million times more beautiful than any lovemaking or sex scene hollywood has ever come up with. Goes to show that sex is sacred and not to be so callously branded about on tv and movies. How truly lost this generation has become! Taka embodies how the perfect women should be!
@ManFanUtd ofcourse same here bro! i might fight woth you for her hahahah! but it is not the scene of heaven... it is nothing infront of that! there is much for us waiting! :)
This scene is very beautiful! But the translation is wrong though... She actually says: This armor will look good on you, but please, let me check if the lower part will fit well.... And then she takes his Kimono off!!! Aruugurin San was about the same height of her husband, but the american sword was probably bigger....
I really really miss movies like this. It used to be that at the end of the movie the two characters who had fallen in love through the course of the movie would finally kiss. Now, it seems like they always end up having sex, as if a kiss isn't good enough or isn't enough proof or something. A scene like this has 10x more romance and passion than any sex scene in any movie.
hahahaha i can't stop laughing :D lol I never noticed that before and now i have to think about it everytime i'm watching this. after she dresses him she says: "may the force be with you"

I have watched this beautiful scene som many times that I acually spotted a moviemistake. It´s between 1:04 - 1:05. First he looks at the left, then at the right. Anyways, great scene and awesome movie!
Just goes to show you don't need token sex scenes in a movie, just a great story and acting along with beautiful music......the way movies used to be made back in the golden age.
There is a part in the movie where she is talking to her brother asking him to avenge the death of her husband and kill him and he says her husband tried to kill the American and he received what was coming to him and she said to her brother forgive me of my weakness. That was very thought provoking and speaks a lot about the Japanese people.
Greatest Movie Evere in my opinion, an amazing story that makes you cry doesnt matter your age if you understand it you will cry. Masterpiece soundtrack that cross inside your very heart and make you think of life's meaning. Set of actors that work excellent refering to the other not Tom although I believe this is the best work he ever make. Shows so much that I believe one movie is not enough for all the things this piece of art hold in almost two hours.
@loner1878 1878??? really??? woooow....i thaught this was durin the recolutionary war sorta thing, dang that changes everything, thanks for the info tho
@brainwasher9876 Fetishes? If you dont like asian women and your a guy something is wrong we are the same species. GUYS LIKE ALL KINDS OF WOMEN whether they are willing to admit it or not.
@brainwasher9876 I heard it but its not because of that. This women cared for him while he was injured and fighting alcoholism even though he killed her husband she was always good to him. The point you came up with is a typical chick answer.
@lilsm555 you can always manipulate the plot so that a white man gets together with an asian chick as long as you've got the rights to the story. I bet you a million dollars that if any non-white had tried to audition for Cruise's part, they would have been turned down.
@lilsm555 what you say may be true, but if they truly wanted to make it an austere and sincere movie there was no need for the woman to fall in love with the guy. Some relationships are the most meaningful when they're platonic, because then there'd be a motivation and goal other than, you know, sex.
@KilledInAsia same here :-) i think asians have their own beautiful culture.we must stop following west like dog following its master and i think JAPANESE GIRLS are the most beautiful in this world when they are wearing a kimono.
Guys are no different these day; try having a "conversation" on spirituality with them. You'll be called exhibitionist who prides his knowledge!!! They rather talk about the orifices they have penetrated. Girls have become meat holes. TBH when girls act as you described, they will be treated as such by guys too.
The beauty of the messages in those movies is in how these white heroes are changed. What they actually show is the journey of the white man/woman to regain lost values.
Algera-san entered that house and showed complete respect for the family and the traditions of the entire village. When the 'enemy' was coming to destroy the Samurai, Algera had the characterics of a Samurai (honor, loyalty, valor) Some say he went to the other side. What other side? He always had those values and at the right opportunity exercised them on the battlefield.
A sad thing it must be... to be a woman dressing up your man for battle and possible death... or to be a man and be dressed up for battle by your woman. What the hell do you think at a moment like that one? "With God as my witness, I swear to you I will be back to make love to you again"??? And then: "But what if I don´t? What if this is the last time I see you?"
It's frustrating for me, that people focus on racial issues (petty & juvenile). However, in The Last Samurai, it is arguably the Samurai who save the foreigner from himself. In turn, he fights with them to save their honor. Because of them, he's found meaning and purpose in his life and something worth honorably fighting for and possibly dying for. And yes... Koyuki is gorgeous! ^_^
is she crying for him?, for her killed husband? or what, i dont get it and why she kissed him she was forced? i mean for her culture i dunno someone tell me plz cus i dont get it right and i love this movie
@MrHolllaaa She is crying for both, she feels guilty but she can't help but feel for him. She took care of him, fed him and such which grew respect. Respect grew to like as he revealed his true side, and it grew to love as her children did. She still feels guilty but he has taken the husband's place in the family.
i like how it was very modest because that's different from hot love scenes. it's just as potent for some reason i cant explain. maybe because in a culture that is very tight and stiff to most, any affection is very strong, even stronger than hot and steamy love scenes
@MOTORMAK Actually I really like the movie, but not because of Tom Cruise's role. I like it because it shows you the lifestyle of Samurai people and some history of Japan.
A white man is always the savior of some society of people? Wtf? Avatar, Dances With Wolves, Atlantis: Lost Empire, Last Samurai, same shit everytime..
@illouie Well like most movies a lot of this is fiction, but that does not make this particular scene any less valuable. We are not quite discussing the movie and how well it sticks with history or political correctness, but I guess someone has to show up to troll around. In your own words "same shit every time"...
@illouie Actually, Cruise's character is in the process of alchoholic self-destruction, out of guilt of atrocities committed against the Native Americans, when he is dispatched to the Japanese Empire on army contract to teach their army modern technological warfare. The movie goes out of its way to display the materialistic emptiness of the Western culture, and the superiority of the Samurai way of life the he encounters. It is Katsumoto, not Algren (Cruise), who is the titular Last Samurai.
For that matter, though, the poster image of Cruise is highly misleading for another reason: making the audience think of the word as implying the singular (just as the word "sheep" can), when it actually means the plural. These PEOPLE he meets are THE last Samurai, AS Samurai; as opposed to still following that way of life. Rather than coming as a "white savior," the Japanese save him from his own demons. So no...I do not agree that this is the "same shit."
Excellent Statements Vampire. Greatly appreciated. I actually love this movie. Actually I love most epics but this is almost tops next to Gladiator for me
@illouie How exactly is he a savior? All he is IMO is an observer and, at the end, a teacher. He doesn't save the samurai culture at all, nor does he go on to lead it. If anything, the society saves HIM.
@illouie I agree with you. In almost every movie that has asians cast in it, they are martial artists/hot babes/hot martial artists. And when there's an asian actress in a movie, you can almost guarantee that a white guy's gonna pick her up. If it's a black guy, it's with a black girl, and never anyone else. Latinos are simply non-existent (unless they are women in which case the white guy thing again). Hollywood is really shit with demographics.
@arrowxhead3p I'm amazed by how many comments I've received from that one post, and yes I would love to see purple mexican saviours. That would be much more interesting...
@illouie nooo if you watch some animes or read some manga you'll see that heroes are all japanese...mhhh. If the producer is white.. tthe hero is white, if a producer is black the hero is black, if he is asiatic he is asiatic...Will Smith...Tom Cruise...Sailor Moon...they've saved world a lot of times!!Mhhh but now I'm angry...why italians are all "Padrino" and "Mafia" and never the heroes?
@illouie I actually see it the other way around...I see those societies as saving the person who experiences them. John Dunbar in Dances with Wolves doesn't really find himself until he experiences the Sioux culture...same can be said of Nathan Algren in The Last Samurai as well as Jake in Avatar.
lol so? In japanese produced movies the japanese dude is the hero and the white imperialist is usually the enemy. If you wan't a change from hollywood movies watch foreign film.
If it wasn't for the White man enslaving much of the 3rd world, they would still be living in the Stone Age. I know my history quite well and can think of no great Military figures or explorers or rulers whom weren't white. Its a fact. I hope you manage to shake off that huge chip on your shoulder
@TheStonebro It's clear that you have no idea what you're talking about. Your comments may be true, provided every historical event is seen through the eyes of a "white person". There are tons of great leaders of the past who weren't white. America is world renown for shoving things under the rug.
@illouie The film wasnt about a white man saving the day, but a white man who disagreed with his people because the forgotten word honor. This honor would eventually help cure his nightmares.
Secondly, this story is not fiction, it happened, but the soldier was French, not American
@illouie From my reply to u, it is not the same. This a true life story, so it is not as if Hollywood wrote a story about a white man who saves the day. The French soldier in question actually saved the day
@illouie Actually the movie is baseed on the history of the dealings with Japan by four different countries, and no there was no English, American, or French soldier who participated in the battle. That part was all made up.
The story is partly fiction. In reality, this time the samurai rebelled against their loss of power. unlike in the film, there was actually a successful conclusion of negotiations with the United States.
@TheHiddenDepths I dont know where u got ur facts from, but I have even read bits from the journal of the said French soldier...common wikipedia has the story
@aiknil You do not understand.The film is about the Satsuma-Rebellion.It may be that Nathan Algren was in reality a Frenchman.I do not know exactly and it was not the point.But, it is not true that everything in the film occurred in reality.The film was shown that the samurai rebels have refused to use firearms.In fact, they have used firearms during the Satsuma-Rebellion.Furthermore,it was out the rebellion,because the samurai feared their power and influence to lose. Honor was not the motive.
@TheHiddenDepths i do understand everything about the film and can almost quote word for word, I knew it was about a historic rebellion and the soldier involved was French. It will be dumb of me not to know that many other things in the film were added for artistic purposes. My point was that the story in itself happened, that doesnt mean I am saying the film depicts the whole story...the 47 Ronin is another samurai film coming soon, true life, but im sure they will sugarcoat it...keanu reeves
@TheHiddenDepths I think from IMDB Keanu Reeves has a japanese name. Also the storyline is highly cultural. The Japanese would be upset if this one was fiddled with
@illouie Nah, the white man in this movie is not a savior, more like a witness of an event. He just a being part of it and his presence do not change anything.major.
@aclock2 Great great you made a great interpretation he did not die because it was not his time yet the leader of the samurai said it once that is time was far. He survive because of that and the samurai die but not in vain they were the true saviors who save their traditions with their final act.
That is the most beautiful scene in the movie. It's perfect. I agree with blueeyes700. They already know how much they love eachother. It's also sweet when Nathan hugs the oldest son. If u haven't watched the last samurai, watch it. It's one of the best movies ever. It's a very beautiful movie both. The acting the story the scenery, all very beautiful.
This scene was the greatest expression of love and forgiveness I had ever seen in a movie. She cared greatly for him and was proving so by dressing him in her dead husband's armour-whom he-Tom Cruise- killed! I was tryin not to get misty-eyed cuz my brothers were watchin it with me but it was hard!
You know what's so awesome bout this? She's putting his clothes ON and it's 100x more passionate then 1,000 sex scenes from lesser films

I agree! I consider this one of the sexiest movie scenes ever. Up there with the scene from Ghost and maybe The Bodyguard.

@MrHolllaaa She is crying for both, she feels guilty but she can't help but feel for him. She took care of him, fed him and such which grew respect. Respect grew to like as he revealed his true side, and it grew to love as her children did. She still feels guilty but he has taken the husband's place in the family.

i like how it was very modest because that's different from hot love scenes. it's just as potent for some reason i cant explain. maybe because in a culture that is very tight and stiff to most, any affection is very strong, even stronger than hot and steamy love scenes

@MOTORMAK Actually I really like the movie, but not because of Tom Cruise's role. I like it because it shows you the lifestyle of Samurai people and some history of Japan.

@illouie Well like most movies a lot of this is fiction, but that does not make this particular scene any less valuable. We are not quite discussing the movie and how well it sticks with history or political correctness, but I guess someone has to show up to troll around. In your own words "same shit every time"...

@illouie Yeah, maybe they should have used Samuel L. Jackson instead of Tom Cruise.

@illouie Actually, Cruise's character is in the process of alchoholic self-destruction, out of guilt of atrocities committed against the Native Americans, when he is dispatched to the Japanese Empire on army contract to teach their army modern technological warfare. The movie goes out of its way to display the materialistic emptiness of the Western culture, and the superiority of the Samurai way of life the he encounters. It is Katsumoto, not Algren (Cruise), who is the titular Last Samurai.
VampireYoshi 1 year ago 3
For that matter, though, the poster image of Cruise is highly misleading for another reason: making the audience think of the word as implying the singular (just as the word "sheep" can), when it actually means the plural. These PEOPLE he meets are THE last Samurai, AS Samurai; as opposed to still following that way of life. Rather than coming as a "white savior," the Japanese save him from his own demons. So no...I do not agree that this is the "same shit."

@illouie How exactly is he a savior? All he is IMO is an observer and, at the end, a teacher. He doesn't save the samurai culture at all, nor does he go on to lead it. If anything, the society saves HIM.

@illouie I agree with you. In almost every movie that has asians cast in it, they are martial artists/hot babes/hot martial artists. And when there's an asian actress in a movie, you can almost guarantee that a white guy's gonna pick her up. If it's a black guy, it's with a black girl, and never anyone else. Latinos are simply non-existent (unless they are women in which case the white guy thing again). Hollywood is really shit with demographics.

@illouie I actually see it the other way around...I see those societies as saving the person who experiences them. John Dunbar in Dances with Wolves doesn't really find himself until he experiences the Sioux culture...same can be said of Nathan Algren in The Last Samurai as well as Jake in Avatar.

If it wasn't for the White man enslaving much of the 3rd world, they would still be living in the Stone Age. I know my history quite well and can think of no great Military figures or explorers or rulers whom weren't white. Its a fact. I hope you manage to shake off that huge chip on your shoulder

@TheStonebro It's clear that you have no idea what you're talking about. Your comments may be true, provided every historical event is seen through the eyes of a "white person". There are tons of great leaders of the past who weren't white. America is world renown for shoving things under the rug.

@illouie The film wasnt about a white man saving the day, but a white man who disagreed with his people because the forgotten word honor. This honor would eventually help cure his nightmares.
Secondly, this story is not fiction, it happened, but the soldier was French, not American

@aiknil What is your point? It's all the same my friend.
illouie 11 months ago
@illouie From my reply to u, it is not the same. This a true life story, so it is not as if Hollywood wrote a story about a white man who saves the day. The French soldier in question actually saved the day
aiknil 11 months ago
@illouie Actually the movie is baseed on the history of the dealings with Japan by four different countries, and no there was no English, American, or French soldier who participated in the battle. That part was all made up.

The story is partly fiction. In reality, this time the samurai rebelled against their loss of power. unlike in the film, there was actually a successful conclusion of negotiations with the United States.
Read something about Meiji Restoration.

aiknil 8 months ago
@aiknil You do not understand.The film is about the Satsuma-Rebellion.It may be that Nathan Algren was in reality a Frenchman.I do not know exactly and it was not the point.But, it is not true that everything in the film occurred in reality.The film was shown that the samurai rebels have refused to use firearms.In fact, they have used firearms during the Satsuma-Rebellion.Furthermore,it was out the rebellion,because the samurai feared their power and influence to lose. Honor was not the motive.
TheHiddenDepths 8 months ago
@TheHiddenDepths i do understand everything about the film and can almost quote word for word, I knew it was about a historic rebellion and the soldier involved was French. It will be dumb of me not to know that many other things in the film were added for artistic purposes. My point was that the story in itself happened, that doesnt mean I am saying the film depicts the whole story...the 47 Ronin is another samurai film coming soon, true life, but im sure they will sugarcoat it...keanu reeves

Maybe I've misunderstood something.
Nevertheless, thanks for the note about the film of the 47 Ronin with Keanu.
This information was new to me. Hopefully it's not another American who was the only survived and finally gets the beautiful woman.

@TheHiddenDepths I think from IMDB Keanu Reeves has a japanese name. Also the storyline is highly cultural. The Japanese would be upset if this one was fiddled with

@aclock2 Great great you made a great interpretation he did not die because it was not his time yet the leader of the samurai said it once that is time was far. He survive because of that and the samurai die but not in vain they were the true saviors who save their traditions with their final act.

That is the most beautiful scene in the movie. It's perfect. I agree with blueeyes700. They already know how much they love eachother. It's also sweet when Nathan hugs the oldest son. If u haven't watched the last samurai, watch it. It's one of the best movies ever. It's a very beautiful movie both. The acting the story the scenery, all very beautiful.

This scene was the greatest expression of love and forgiveness I had ever seen in a movie. She cared greatly for him and was proving so by dressing him in her dead husband's armour-whom he-Tom Cruise- killed! I was tryin not to get misty-eyed cuz my brothers were watchin it with me but it was hard!
