The samurai were too exaggerated. Overestimated in Western samurai: the sword well, but, in the West geomsulin paensingboda weak. Western more great articles. Wonre Japan was a vassal state of China. Japan is a tributary of China since ancient times. Paensing>>> gumdo
This fight must have been very hard since reasearcher have found out that samurais were some of the most dangerous persons you ever could meet in a fight
@MegaMovieMind, Actually the problem was MI2 is a product of it's time that didn't hold up well, it was considered better than the first when it came out. Yet after slow mo, duel guns, sunglasses and INSANLY unrealistic action scenes became played out (thanks Matrix) it seems corny now.
@TheDalinkwent MI2 doesn't have to do with Toms acting ability. Every movie he has been in that is considered bad is not because of him. He is great actor. Make a good action scene with Tom Cruise in it, and he will make that action scene better because he is good with stunt work. He is great in Risky Buisness. He isn't a Jimmy Stewart by any means, but he can act more than most action stars. Channing Tattium - SHIT, The Rock - BAD, Sylvester Stallon- DECENT, Tom Cruise- GOOD.
@MegaMovieMind, I'm actually a very big fan of Tom Cruise and I think all of the hate he gets is childish and a little tired, it was 6 years ago people need to move on. While I like MI2 personally, I can see why people may not like it now, it's a bit corny but it's a great action movie that features insane stunts performed by Cruise himself. While Tatum is shit, Rock isn't bad and has improved over the years, Stallone is quite impressive when given something to work with.
I don't get how the Tom Cruise character could so easily defeat and hold at bay so many samurais who spent a lifetime training for battle and all that.
@psychgoth he was a soldier, too; he was trained and, most importantly, a was a war veteran. of course, realistically one of the samurais could have step in front and kill him. he can't keep up with all of them, not because they are samurais, but because they have the numbers playing on their favour, obviously the training helps, also. but you have to keep in mind this is movie.
Shouldn't Algren be wearing a cuirass since he is a cavalryman and all. And I like the fact that he was able to fight the samurai equally with a sabre on horseback. Shows that the movie isn't all gaga Katana worship.
@gueroinlove Yeah, I thought it was the Meiji period because it looked like they were hunting the remnants of the samurai, I guess I have to see the movie again since I haven't seen it in like 6 years.
@XxXLordPeinXxX666 This is the Meiji Period where Japan began to adapt from Western countries. It was the samurais from Satsuma and Choshu overthrew the Tokugawa Shogunate and established the Meiji Government. The irony is that many of those samurais that rebeled against the Meiji Government were responsible in creating it. Samurais had lost their unique status and were forbidden by law to carry swords in public. Many of the commanders sent to deal with rebel samurais were samurai themselves.
@Roxas2D It is not safer by any means. As warfare has advanced considerable less casualties are produced from conflicts. Battles with melee weapons were by far the deadliest and most brutal.
I also don't contend that it makes you a real man anymore than modern warfare. I'm sure holding your shit in check why you get bombarded by mortars and suicide bombers is no easy feat.
@TekBubs This comment is pure ignorance, the Japanese were never under white rule. They westernized as they wanted to increase trade and enjoy western luxuries but they were not under political control by whites. Remember WWII? When they, a considerably smaller force, fought us Americans fiercely in one of the bloodiest theatres of war. We had to nuke two of their cities just so they would stop.
Besides a black man is president of the US, I guess white's dont rule everything....
@BlueAvenue22 And you call me ignorant. Theres reasons why they gave us such a fight in WWII, look it up. You say the states has a black president? Orly? Last I checked he was half and half, I can easily just say hes white. You're the ignorant one, and you're retarded. Thank you.
@uberhaxor69 That's not true, this movie is a metaphor of what happened to japan of the course of a couple hundred years. The samurai could not survive westernization.
@BlueAvenue22 of course not the machine gun and cannons but if you miss one shot with those rifles your mince meat. at that time if they had repeater rifles that would of been a major advantage
@StonewallJackson26 Then how the FUCK did you know about the Satsuma Rebellion?
Was it taught at school? (NO, cause no school syllabus contains this topic)
Did you learn about it from television? (NO, there are no documentaries about the rebellion on TV)
So how the fuck did you heard about the Satsuma rebellion? You watched 'The Last Samurai', got aroused, typed it up on wikipedia to read the plot (even though you have already seen the movie)
@brytonlaw Why the fuck do you care? Is the better question. I don't need to validate myself to you. I have much interest in Japanese history and culture. And I find it interesting to study how the industrial revolution in the late 1800's effected different countries.
@brytonlaw do u know something about the Satsuma rebellion??? if u dont, then just shut the fuck up, who cares if he doesnt know the rebellion was about.... let him just talk about it.. and who cares about wikipedia.... i bet u search up wikipedia all the time as well... everyone does.. if u say u dont, then bullshit. im half japanese and half korean, and my japanese heritage came from a old samurai family ever since the 1600s so sdfu and stop talking as if u think everything in japanese culture
@PokiPokimon Before I even address your argument. I did NO so such thing of "talking as if u think everything in japanese culture" (PokiPokimon 4 hours ago). And i NEVER questioned whether he knows about the Satsuma rebellion or not.
@PokiPokimon Your use of a 'straw man' to discredit me is fallacy in your argument, I never said i 'knew something about the rebellion". I will confirm that i DO use wikipedia, almost everyone who browses the internet does, I ways just merely pointing out the unneeded weakness of his earlier statement "The character of Cpt. Nathan Aldgrin is also loosely based on a real historic figure...... I believe." (StonewallJackson26 4 weeks ago )
@brytonlaw I shall list the rest of your logical fallacies in your argument; "weasel words" and "argument from authority". Just because your ancestry dates back approximately SIX generations back to the satsuma rebellion error..... doesn't mean you have a vivid and detailed knowledge of the rebellion. Who's the troll now wbtrex08?
@brytonlaw Actually my world history class covered it when I was in 10th grade, so some schools clearly cover it. And when I become a history teacher I will make sure to cover it as well.
This movie does not portray Samurai as what they orginally were: Bodyguards for the daimyos and shoguns of medieval japan. This movie portrays them as a rebel army
@CKabayan Have you never heard of the Satsuma Rebellion of 1877? Where Saigo Takamori launched a revolt against the Meiji government. This film is loosely based on that event.
in this scene i actually feel bad for the conscripts. and if you ever study PROPER japanese history, you'd feel sorry for them too. the shogunate was pretty much filled with dickheads
I feel like a bit of a douche for bringing this up in the comments, seeing as this is a great movie...but if anyone has played, or simply seen the intro for Shogun 2, does the armour on the samurai in red not look exactly like Hirotaro's from this movie?
Nobutada was my favorite character in this movie. And I absolutely LOVE his armor. Anyone else notice that his armor was like goldish and showed like no part of him? That's what you get for being the son of the Samurai Lord. lol.
I'm glad there's a movie the portrays japans bloody conversion from ancient samurai to modern modern guns. Also those samurai would've been destroyed if those gunmen could fire in volleys on command
@Omegace because sometimes fog would take days or even months to appear even next to an ocean. and when the enemy marches you MUST react or they may burn down your villages or take cities and hurt your economy in the long term.
@xXBerethorXx ... Errmm I was speaking rhetorically, anyway, atleast they could have fought the army in the forest with or without the fog and they could of skirmished the units without losing many casualties. And the Samurais don't have an economy as such, they live off the land which also means they can settle anywhere. Guerilla warfare is almost unstoppable.
@xXBerethorXx No problem :). Burning down the forests is one way to do it (The Americans tried this during Vietnam) but I think leaving them alone would have been a better strategy :P Since in Russia there are still tribes and villages without any technology living like the Samurai do
@Omegace they did something worse in wietnam, they used agent orange which now shows it's true face as a mutagen.
but it wouldn't, shouldn't work. you saw th trees here. bamboo. burn it down this year there is even more next year. bamboo grows too damn fast.
and Japan is big enough. main problem here is the fact it is mountain area, as it is said, winter is coming, in winter no one can get inside or out of this valley. have a look at Afghanistan , warfare for how long? 20 years?
I know they got no air force, just a few barely-operational tanks, no navy, and all.
But this is not a conventional war, it is a guerilla warfare, where the main factor is the fighter AND the political propaganda eventually supporting him.
@Briselance yep. well, as i said , different times... we can talk much but words don't cut stuff up.
had Samurai fought their own way, not going for conventional style they would most probably win. that was the though. but we will never find out so this is pointless philosophie
@xXBerethorXx guerilla lasts for as long as it takes to kill all the fighters. samurai's here took a full size battle while their force was their speed and fear. wrong choice as we can say now , but we can't say that for we weren't there. burning down a forest in Okinawa doesn't affect you if you are on Kumejima. but this is completely out of context. samurai's were not trying to win a war , they were trying to teach a lesson.
@lucasrenitif yes but the whole point of this scene is because its a movie, its realistic to a certain point but the film would'nt get many good reviews if it was about samurais hiding in trees for 2 hoursd, you need to have suspence, would you rather have a documentory with samurais' hiding in spider holes with cup a' soup and some instant noodles or a really good action filled movie lol XD
@aldous they lost bcause they werent trained well. if that soldier wud fire his musket wen orderd then they wud win. a soldier cud aslo fire 3 musket shots in a minute if trained well
@jlm8195 actually those were the British and that was 100 years prior this. Also those men were trained very poorly or hadn't had enough time to do enough.
That movie does not makes sense for me. Japanese goverment had no other option then western style reforms to make Japan modern state. In late 19th century Japan became colony of the West . 40 years later in 1905 they won against Russia and China
@tokyocityrat In late 19th century after a few centuries of isolation to Japan came modern fleets of USA and UK . Obviously Japan had no chance to win at that moment. They forced Japan to sign unequal trade treaties that ripped Japan off. They also enjoyed "exterritorial jurisdiction" means -foreigners committing crimes in Japan were judged by their consuls not by Japanese courts. But unlike China or africa they try to learn as much as possible from the West -in 1905 they were equal to Russia
this film got alot of criticism, but I think it's absolutely epic. sometimes critics forget that movies are there to entertain you, and this film is amazingly entertaining with a beautiful soundtrack.

Nobutada was my favorite character in this movie. And I absolutely LOVE his armor. Anyone else notice that his armor was like goldish and showed like no part of him? That's what you get for being the son of the Samurai Lord. lol.

I'm glad there's a movie the portrays japans bloody conversion from ancient samurai to modern modern guns. Also those samurai would've been destroyed if those gunmen could fire in volleys on command

Why didn't they fight in the fog in the last battle..?
Omegace 1 year ago
@Omegace because sometimes fog would take days or even months to appear even next to an ocean. and when the enemy marches you MUST react or they may burn down your villages or take cities and hurt your economy in the long term.
xXBerethorXx 1 year ago
@xXBerethorXx ... Errmm I was speaking rhetorically, anyway, atleast they could have fought the army in the forest with or without the fog and they could of skirmished the units without losing many casualties. And the Samurais don't have an economy as such, they live off the land which also means they can settle anywhere. Guerilla warfare is almost unstoppable.
Omegace 1 year ago
@Omegace rhetorical lol my bad xP
is guerilla warfare is near unbeatable, do you beat it by burning down forests then? 2 lazy to look up modern strategies lol
xXBerethorXx 1 year ago
@xXBerethorXx No problem :). Burning down the forests is one way to do it (The Americans tried this during Vietnam) but I think leaving them alone would have been a better strategy :P Since in Russia there are still tribes and villages without any technology living like the Samurai do

@Omegace they did something worse in wietnam, they used agent orange which now shows it's true face as a mutagen.
but it wouldn't, shouldn't work. you saw th trees here. bamboo. burn it down this year there is even more next year. bamboo grows too damn fast.
and Japan is big enough. main problem here is the fact it is mountain area, as it is said, winter is coming, in winter no one can get inside or out of this valley. have a look at Afghanistan , warfare for how long? 20 years?

20 years ? More like 40, since the Soviets came in in 1979.
Briselance 10 months ago
@Briselance whoah, see,..-just my point !
40years with what? they have no air force, no tanks, no navy and yet, they fight .
lucasrenitif 10 months ago
@lucasrenitif
Yeah, I saw your point, don't worry about that.
I know they got no air force, just a few barely-operational tanks, no navy, and all.
But this is not a conventional war, it is a guerilla warfare, where the main factor is the fighter AND the political propaganda eventually supporting him.
Briselance 10 months ago
@Briselance yep. well, as i said , different times... we can talk much but words don't cut stuff up.
had Samurai fought their own way, not going for conventional style they would most probably win. that was the though. but we will never find out so this is pointless philosophie

Indeed.
Briselance 10 months ago
@xXBerethorXx guerilla lasts for as long as it takes to kill all the fighters. samurai's here took a full size battle while their force was their speed and fear. wrong choice as we can say now , but we can't say that for we weren't there. burning down a forest in Okinawa doesn't affect you if you are on Kumejima. but this is completely out of context. samurai's were not trying to win a war , they were trying to teach a lesson.
lucasrenitif 11 months ago
@lucasrenitif yes but the whole point of this scene is because its a movie, its realistic to a certain point but the film would'nt get many good reviews if it was about samurais hiding in trees for 2 hoursd, you need to have suspence, would you rather have a documentory with samurais' hiding in spider holes with cup a' soup and some instant noodles or a really good action filled movie lol XD

@jlm8195 actually those were the British and that was 100 years prior this. Also those men were trained very poorly or hadn't had enough time to do enough.

The Japanese Army were using Muskets instead of Repeaters. No wonder they would lose to a charge.

That movie does not makes sense for me. Japanese goverment had no other option then western style reforms to make Japan modern state. In late 19th century Japan became colony of the West . 40 years later in 1905 they won against Russia and China

@garden2010city Which western country colonized Japan in 19th century?
tokyocityrat 1 year ago
@tokyocityrat In late 19th century after a few centuries of isolation to Japan came modern fleets of USA and UK . Obviously Japan had no chance to win at that moment. They forced Japan to sign unequal trade treaties that ripped Japan off. They also enjoyed "exterritorial jurisdiction" means -foreigners committing crimes in Japan were judged by their consuls not by Japanese courts. But unlike China or africa they try to learn as much as possible from the West -in 1905 they were equal to Russia

this film got alot of criticism, but I think it's absolutely epic. sometimes critics forget that movies are there to entertain you, and this film is amazingly entertaining with a beautiful soundtrack.

Algren's handy with the sword on horseback even before he was trained by the Samurai but then again he was a cavalry trooper.
