  • *Japanese accent* ze wfay öf ze zford.

    *Our accent* The way of the sword. (it is ironic)

  • the 5 dislikes are Omura's grandchildren....

  • I cry when i hear this song is the best song in the whole world :')

  • I always tear up at 2:34 just simply perfect

  • Comment removed

  • Hans Zimmer has been my favorite composer ever since Pearl Harbor

  • This is powerful stuff even compared to Hans Zimmer's usual works. What inspired him when he was creating this soundtrack?

  • @EF9001stormspotter I think it was his 100th composition.

  • 4:09 amazing trombones

  • Touch my body with your sword.

    Touch my body with your submachine gun.

  • hans zimmer brings emotion to movies. example: Inception: i cought myself 7 times with my mouth open. THATS CUZ OF THE MUSIC!! epic.. thats what movies are all about.. bringing it WIth epic music KOBE!!!

  • Jesus, this is good.

  • 0:00 - 2:36 A run for Honour.

  • "life in every breath- that is bushido"

  • damn, the hairs on the back of my head is standing up

  • if the east became like the west we would lose directions

  • "Tell me how hew he died"....." I will tell you how he lived"

    -tear

  • This is the moment when the japanese realized they had just rendered they're legendary warrior history to books and tales. 

  • @KosaiAvonej yah so sad :( the glory days of any country is over along time ago, specialy the europeans

  • someone may think it's stupid for a man but... I cried like a baby during the last fight (ok, I cry every single time I see the Movie). but it's so intense when the music stops and you see the last samurais die by the hand of their own compatriots. You can feel Japan loosing his past in that right moment. All in the name of progress and to became like west. I lose a piece of my heart every time I see the Movie.Friend, i do the same, cryes maby 5 times in hole movie.Werry emotional movie.

  • @Andy110303 That is stupid you should get your hormones checked. To much estrogen maybe?

  • @liquidsnake1959 ばか!

  • @liquidsnake1959

    That´s a bit harsh I think. It is impossible not to get 'affected' by the last fight scene when the Imperial Captain starts crying and the soldiers all bow down in honor of the brave men they have just killed. I was perhaps not crying like a baby but I would still rank this as one of the most emotional movies I have ever seen and I would not make fun of anyone who can´t keep their composure when watching it.

  • Perfect song for Red Orchestra 2!

  • Perfect song for Red Orchestra 2!

  • "I will miss our conversations" is one of the saddest lines ever spoken in a move.

  • Hans Zimmer is A Fuc*ing Genius!!! (Thumbs Up For That)

  • Makes me cry every time...

  • "Perfects, they are all perfects"

    5:55

  • this movie is very emotional and powerful even with Tom Cruises cheesiness this soundtrack makes up for it

  • beware your culture and respect others

  • Takka is the hottest japanese woman i have ever seen!!!

  • @pasna45

    You mean that the Actress Koyuki Katō, who plays the role of Taka, is the hottest woman you have ever seen. I don´t know if I would agree on it, but she is certainly one of the most beutiful women I have ever seen on and of the screen.

  • @ma82fo lol well yea, na she's just very hot, well actually yea she is. mmm. at least we agree on the fact that she's hot :)

  • @ma82fo O.o is she related to Kato Kiyomasa of the Sengoku period?

  • @ma82fo too bad she's married to L

  • This songs make you feel ... This is amazing ! You can imagen your own storie with it !! but it really belongs to this movie :D

  • Perfect... They are all.... Perfect.........

  • The shallow understanding of this movie many of you show really anger the very soul that resides in my ancestral shrine. May gates of hell be opened in front of your doors and thunders and lighting work their way with you

  • @SpicyHam

    what happened to the NOBLE TRUTHS? I take it your not a practicing bud-hist? Please dont judge a fellow mans interpretation of a MOVIE

  • Long Live Honor!!

    puck Lady Gaga

  • @SpicyHam O M G HAAAAAAIIII!

  • MASTERPIECE

  • 2:36 - one of the most emotional scenes in movie history

  • @19leoz90 most definitely

  • The way of the sword or way of the samurai will never die the culture will always be in those who believe in it that is why people love this movie and music because it shows exactly that and proves that no matter who you are or what you do you will always be part of something important that takes part of your everyday life so embrace this message and show who you really are and how you really feel to this world that is growing non stop we can make a difference and show what the past means.

  • Way to many romantics out there!!! The way of the sword is to kill!!!That's it!! You give your Life and the Lives of those around you meaning!!!!

  • @hapki The way of the sword itself isn't to kill, it is a martial art like any other. What you do with that art is up to you.

  • Dear Hans Zimmer. If i ever die an epic death, please compose at my funeral. Thank you.

  • This is when my mind races and I would gladly give up everything I have to live in the Samurai life and just learn the way to live. And this movie just inspired me so much. I'd gladly go anywhere were they do Re-Enacctments

  • @albertosaurs google 'Iaido' classes in your area - that might be a good start mon frere :)

  • @impcirca1988 Thank you kind sir!

  • @albertosaurs no a problem. Always happy to help.

  • 5 people are just gay

  • 5 people have no honor no honor at all

  • My fav part is "I will miss our conversations".

  • i cannot hear this music and not be moved to tears. Such beauty.

  • Perfect...

  • 5 people wants their heads cut off by my bushido blood dragon katana...

  • i will miss...our conversations...

    5:20 *tear*

  • @robxiong19 deep!

  • someone may think it's stupid for a man but... I cried like a baby during the last fight (ok, I cry every single time I see the Movie). but it's so intense when the music stops and you see the last samurais die by the hand of their own compatriots. You can feel Japan loosing his past in that right moment. All in the name of progress and to became like west. I lose a piece of my heart every time I see the Movie...

  • @gioko84

    As one man to another. What is loosing?

  • @gioko84 I cried too, and I do'nt cry easily, I can tell you...

    But you said all: this scene was so intense, so sad with that music, and the story of this country, loosing all his past, all his honor...

  • @gioko84 dude i feel you. i did too specially when ken watanabe was dying and he said zzzzzzzz *perfect* omg i started crying lol. and i know they are the reason japan rose to be an imperial power. samurai culture was the best!!!

  • @gioko84 but you gain a piece of soul.

  • @gioko84 it is absolutely not stupid. crying is human.

  • @annanimal6 humans are stupid XD

  • @gioko84 Don't worry...you're not the only one ;)

  • @gioko84

    Japan needed to move on, it could never survive under bows and swords. The Samurai spirit still lives on in Japan even today. World War 2 was an example with their suicide tactics

  • @flighty1996 Kamikaze pilots have nothing to do with a life built around honorable battle. -_-

  • @Voirxninja

    cant believe you just said that.

    They believed that dying whilst fighting your enemy is the most honorable thing you can do. So if you didnt realise, they didnt just randomly fly their aircraft into the enemy for no reason

  • @flighty1996 True but, they should still learn bushido shinto etc.

    they have lost the way of there culture , way of life. :(

  • @ninjaboy780 It was a bit the same thing for a groupe oh warrios in Syria during the crusades, they where fond of their culture, but their leaders where turning them mad. Kamizakes pilots where doing that for their country... It's kind of sad... (sorry for my bad english, I'm french Xx)

  • @Kozuechan2894 Its fine, Yeah but hey i'm American/Japanese and the last battle was on September 24 my birthday so i felt i was a descendant of a samurai so i devoted my life to bushido and i live in Japan i have samurai armor and a katana I live in a small traditional Japanese home.

  • @ninjaboy780 you two as well huh my ancestor pass down his sword to this generation to the 5th son which was me and im greatful for it and until that day i found out i moved back to my home town which is Japan living by my ancestor memory

  • @gioko84 fag.

  • @samtrumble43 bigot.

  • @samtrumble43 bigot.

  • @samtrumble43 Dickhead

  • @gioko84 hey don't worry I do too... even though im a girl :P but even listening to the music I cry like a close relative has just died. What worries me is that this could be the way of all cultures... all to die in the name of a universal way including language in conduct. I'm Scottish and Gaelic is already becoming an extinct language which makes me sad as it's our heritage.

  • @gioko84 You're not alone mate.

    I feel the same way.

  • i died in the middle of this song, out of honor. 

  • You... gained your honor......again.

  • Veryy Good!!! Hans Zimmer the Best!

  • This is the greatest music of all time

  • La tristeza, aunque esté siempre justificada, muchas veces sólo es pereza. Nada necesita menos esfuerzo que estar triste

  • "You have your honor again. Let me die with Mine" "Perfect. They. . . are. . . all. . . perfect!" One of the best movie lines ever. I only hope my last words come close to being so profound, so moving.

  • @Drag0nknight999 I agree and in todays warfare there is no honour anymore. Soldiers don´t even face each other face to face but rather stay as far away from their enemies as possible to gun them down with as little exposure to themselves as possible. Even the battlefields have been changed to villages and towns where innocent casualties mix with warriors. Development and modernism? Ok but to what cost physically, ethically and morally?

  • @OTOWN2STOCKTOWN There is still some honor, they fight for their country.

  • @WARLORD13179 That's not honour, that's patriotism. Quite a difference. The Samurai fought for the people of their country.

  • @AnonymousRogue I know people in the army and they fight to protect people they love.

  • @WARLORD13179 Then they are an honourable few.

  • @AnonymousRogue Do you honestly believe that most soldiers are there for entertainment or money? First of all, considering the work and training required, military pay is comparatively shitty. Secondly, there may be those goober-ass soldiers that are there for fun or to be "badasses", but the majority of a volunteer military is going to be made up of individuals who truly want to defend their nation with honor.

  • @OTOWN2STOCKTOWN the only difference nowadays is that we are more aware of innocent civilian casualties. don't start thinking for a minute that back then people were more noble as to not slay the general populace if they were supporting even against their will the enemy. Just cause we didn't have newspapers and internet updates on the stuff happening back then doesn't mean it didn't happen, if not in greater amounts.

  • @OTOWN2STOCKTOWN To be honest, I don't know why anybody ever bother leaving comments, because the majority of the time, you just get twats (not necessarily you, I'm speaking in general) responding with nonsense, or something that's bound to found offensive.

    The Last Samurai is a good movie, has good music, why the hell do we all argue about something that is completely beside the point?

    IT SIMPLY DOES NOT MATTER!

  • "But we cannot forget who we are. Or where we come from."

    best line of the whole flippin movie.

  • @love1peace3 dont be fooled by the sword that i got, im still, im still katsumoto from the block. fought a gatling gun, and now im shot, but still i know where i came frooooom

  • Comment removed

  • @thespiritguru22 What?? how can you be a soldier and say that! we are trained to use guns effectenly it takes alot of practice to use a gun correctly...

  • Comment removed

  • @thespiritguru22 i have no idea what you talking about lol, when was the last time you were deployed? where was your last combat mission? did you get dangerious pay? if you dont mind me asking i mean if you were shooting at sim'es then i could somewhat see your argument but elsewhear they shoot back and effectivly at times as well..

  • Comment removed

  • @thespiritguru22 ooo im sorry your from the U.K nevermind.

  • @jason4852 and what's that supposed to mean ? i'm from wales i don't tell people i'm from the u.k... how ignorant, go take your rudeness somewhere else or listen to the music without offending people you snotty child

  • @thespiritguru22 im ignorant?? i thought you were american i cant speak from experence because iv never been in the "wales" military only the american, Two it says your country is the United Kingdom on your youtube page. three i thought someone who went through the military would notice that it takes alot of practice and skill to fire a wepon correctly, you of all people whould know that hence Sniper battallion. i am not a child and your the one being rude. and you obviously dont have a clue.

  • Comment removed

  • @thespiritguru22 you have no idea what your talking about, iv served with british soldiers before and you are obviously not one of them war is war people get killed, of corse you dont know that because youv never been in the military. your a lieing scum bag and no "U.K" military man ever said anything bad about us when we were working together in join feild operations. You are a fucking pice of shit, No your much lower than that, true soldiers work together with there allies not critize them

  • Comment removed

  • @thespiritguru22 its quite obvious now you were never in the military you are really sad get the hell out soldier ha you are really the lowest of the low and then you removed your coments when other people came on and could see just by the way you talk your no soldier your nothing like one, we have honor and respect for our men and our allies of corse you have no idea what your taking about iv seen alot of people die and war is terrable its not perfect get off youtube you pice of shit

  • @thespiritguru22 If you were an American, you'd be bashing on the British military for all of its faults, because you are the type of person who can't admit his own nation- and yes, Wales is part of the U.K.- ever makes mistakes. Yes, the U.S. military screws up. They don't screw up more often, it's just that their mistakes are more widely publicized because hating the U.S. is fashionable right now. Politics, nothing more.

  • @Golddragon6644 its sad really, he sounded like an honerable man but seemed to be nothing like he stated he said "it takes alot more skill to use a sword than a gun take it from me im a soldier" that may be true but he "claims" to be a sniper it takes years to be an efficent one, and practice..im not saying guns are eay harder to use than swords im just saying they both require some skill to use. you dont just pick up a M16 and your rambo you need to learn to clean,fire,aim,relode,etc.

  • @jason4852 hahahah u white boy!!

  • @SpicyHam hahahahheh heh, wait i dont get it?

  • @thespiritguru22 Also, if you really are in the military, surely you must know how easy it is for others to criticize your mistakes in hindsight. If you claim you've never made any, you've obviously never seen action and are therefore not even remotely qualified to remark on this topic in so superior a manner. You seem to be more gleeful about the fact that "Oh, those stupid Americans goofed again!" than upset that human beings are dead.

  • "Stop firing!"

    "kill Katsumoto! Kill the American!"

    

  • @kingdolani kill kingdolani!!!

  • their culture was almost completely destroyed because of Americans.

  • Proof that Modernity and Civilization are not necessarily the same thing.

  • CHAAAAARGE !!!!!!

  • This makes anything epic. Even football.

  • @tokutom and jacking off

  • @BADprid3 xD Win

  • 2:40-4:40 makes my heart break

  • Demasiado inmenso para ser creado por el hombre, el sentimiento en estado puro plasmado en notas, la música es la mayor creación humana....

  • Hans Zimmer is a GOD

  • Fabulous, Who Hates this song should die !!!

  • Comment removed

  • Just simply beautiful, Hans Zimmer you are the man!!!

  • couldn't have said it better, both the4realeddie and gheale.

  • Western businessmans which sold guns to Japanes are murders .. They killed a uniqueness of Japan and they had caused a attack to Pearl Harbor ..

  • @FLshade Guns have been in Japan since the 16th century, actually ^^

  • @FLshade Only partially true, friend. Japan sought said guns, to protect itself from foreign incursion by western powers as had happened in Asia, China especially. Of all the Asian countries Japan was the only one to succeed in not being "colonized" in any form. Hardly a discredit to Japan's uniqueness. It is ironic though, by providing incentive for Japan to industrialize, the west created a monster it would have to fight off in the end.

  • @PaxAmericana24

    Yes , you are true.I wrote my comment just after watching the film , so I hated weapons and loved samurai ^^ .

  • Rest in Peace Saigo Takamori and others of his gracious clan.

  • western culture corrupts everything it touches...

    The japanese had lived in isolation for hundreds of years. One generation after they were sold western technology by greedy businessmen, they were attacking Pearl Harbor.

  • @boys0fsummer1 That isolation and the imperial conservatism that came with it directly lead to their expansion during WW2 and the decades before it. The tokagowa shogunate isolated japan purely to consolidate tokagowan power, it had nothing to do with protecting their culture. the methods they used to keep the diamyo and their samurai in line led to nearly 2 centuries of extreme prejudice and social division. hardly the romanticised dream a lot of people seem towards it...

  • If you think about it, as sad as it was, the samurai would have had it no other way. They died defending their beliefs and their way of life. They died as they lived. At the hands of their enemies in battle. There is no sadness here, only honor.

  • 5:20 ...its speechless. My heart it just...i can't explain it. It's indescribable.

  • î love the song !!!

    i have look the movie ,wehn my grandfather was die=(=(

    i fell the mourning wehn i hear the song!!

    sorry for bad English im germany.

  • 4 people need to be shown the way of the sword

  • @dante2140

    Now 5! xD

  • @dante2140

    Actually 5 people :)

    good Comment, my friend. they just dont have taste. or they have bad taste ;)

  • best soundtrack ever made!!

  • "perfect... they are all... perfecttt."

  • There are 4 dislikes... why? Do these people have no inner beauty to like something like that?

  • i just love how the songs swallows you up...

  • WHO'S LOOKING FORWARD TO SHOGUN 2!!!!!!!!

  • You have your honor again.Let me die with mine

  • I'll be honest & say that I cried when all of the soldiers of the Japanese army bowed down to the two remaining samurai in the last war.

  • @GhostAnimals93 which was only one..

  • @megeadargon Oh, right.

  • @GhostAnimals93 Are you kidding?! I cried like a baby.

  • @SirSirRobin Oooo, guess I aint the only one.

  • Army with swords vs Army with swords = True warriors battle. Army with guns vs Army with guns = True Warriors Battle(Modern). Army with guns vs Army with swords = Cowards(Guns) vs True Warriors(Swords)

  • It was out of respect and mourning. For the country to become modern and move on the Samurai class had to be abolished. However, the samurai class had existed for centuries and was deeply engraved into the nation's history and culture. Those men weren't fighting out of greed or for personal gain, they were fighting to hold onto their very way of life. Ultimately it was all they really had left. Those facts became obvious to those men, but only after all the samurai were gunned down and defeated.

  • @GhostAnimals93 same friend.

  • @GhostAnimals93 so did I :(

  • Perfect they are all perfect.

  • no. 1 composer of this generation.....watch inception!

  • Man, thansk for posting this =D, saw the movie for like the 20th time today and i still get sad at their final charge D=, anyway thanks, again XD

  • as i was listening, i was remembering the movie in sync with the music :D

    best song in the movie.

    PS stop talking about politics, and talk about the song, or at least the movie.

  • Tracks Awesome

  • The Way of the Sword vs. Lux Aeterna (requiem for a dream)

    Who wins?

  • @dylanTHEEvillan Easy; Requiem for a Dream. BEST EPIC SONG EVER

  • @dylanTHEEvillan Damn... Tough choice.

    The Way of the Sword is empowering and beautiful, but Lux Aeterna is just epic.

    I dunno.

  • i didnt watch the movie...(dont start fucking me up,im 14)but they represent kendo kata in this picture,if i recall correct?

  • @RaiceaAndrei11 They are doing what we would call Kendo, based on kenjutsu. It is called "way of the sword" and its used to practice swordsmanship and form. They however are most likely using "kenjutsu" as this films era predates kendos creation

  • amo esta cancion cmo amo a hans zimmer
