Fact about Hans Zimmer: While writing the score for The Last Samurai, Zimmer felt that his knowledge of Japanese music was extremely limited. He began doing extensive research, but the more he studied, the less he felt he knew. Finally, Zimmer took what he had written to Japan for feedback and was shocked when he was asked how he knew so much about Japanese music That how amazing he is people if you agree thumbs this up so everyone can know
okay so this may be a stupid question but what is that instrument that plays in old japanese songs that sounds very alike to a flute? is it just a flute or another instrument?
@SpicyHam they would probably support the protestors, who protest agains the system of corruption and greed.... and fight agains the policemen and mercenaries of wall street...
I am also not a big Tom Cruise fan with all of his scientolononsense. This movie was outstanding though. He did a fantastic job with this role. The supporting cast was equally exceptional and the score is so moving. Thank you for taking the time to post all of the pieces. Very enjoyable.
@foodbug dude, tom cruise is the protagonist of the movie and becomes the last samurai after training even though he isnt a samurai from the beginning

@kr4zydave hey mate thanks for the suggestion but red warrior actually occurs towards the end before the final battle. I'm thinking of the song that plays when Tom cruise is first taken to the village, and he has been drinking Sake and he is having nightmares.... :s thank you anyway ...
guys i need your HELP!!! in the film there is a much longer version of this song. It features the singers and the wailing, and Tom Cruise is screaming "NO!" in his sleep, and I was wondering if anyone could help me find this!!?? thank you all so much!
@StAndAl0neCompl3x No it's not, if you watch the film again, during the scene after he is first captured and he is getting drunk on Sake and having nightmares, there is a wailing girls voice used as part of the score. but this is not included in this song. i was wondering why..
@ecjj21 I don't know if you still didn't find out but here it is: There's a 2CD special edition version of the soundtrack. The first CD contains the parts how they were edited to be used in the film's scenes. So for what you wanted there are 3 songs(or short songs): Journey to the village (1:18), What is your name (0:29, the monks' chant) and Nightmares (2:11). I hope this helps.
@credalthefirst Thank you so much. I don't know why no one else knew this? People told me I was hearing the music in my mind, because it didn't exist, but I knew it did. It was nightmares I was looking for! Thankyou! You are the reason the internet is such a great place! :)
Logn Long time ago, at dawn of all, there was a Hans Zimmer, and he created a God, Universe, and people .. now at shadow of life God is outhere somewhere but Hans Zimmer is here with us ..
@JohnnyGivancicCacic and then..suddenly Hans lost his awesomeness...and let 30 other persons do the work for him for creating horrors like "Inception" or "On stranger tides".....but sometimes....he will turn back to us!
@Brabbel93 ..as all great powers, ascendend beyond all around all and in him was battle between good and evil, between dark side of force, and thos force wich color is unknown :) .. for now.. hans zimmer must prove us, how he can be too Bad .) Without be bad , there is no good ..... -> NEX PERSON WHO READ THIS. MAKE COMMENT AND CONTINUE SAGA OF THIS STORY about Hans Zimmer :) it will be fun
This song reminds me of when I had a best friend, but then I lost her and she turned into my enemy. This song makes me want to bawl all night because I realize I finally "knowing my enemy". Hans Zimmer is brilliant. 10/10
@jinkazama1992 Do you still talk to her? I have been in the same situation. But the outcome is was making friends with my enemy. This song is so soothing especially when doing MA
One of the best parts of this movie was seeing Capt. Algren taking on all of the assassins WITHOUT his pistol, and using THEIR swords against them! I always remember that part every time I hear this part of the soundtrack.
@hardcharging same :) i was looking for the soundtrack that had the *plink plink plonk* sound every time algren remembered something but this has other music layered over it so i thought it was a different soundtrack. oh well
As I listen to this, tears of sorrow roll down my cheeks for it is so beautiful...Hans Zimmer is awesome. He created many songs for great movies such as: The Dark Knight, Batman Begins, Prince of Egypt, All the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, Gladiator, and the Lion King. Epic...just truly epic and beautiful. Every song he writes, I feel like I am actually in the movie. Very beautiful and sad <3.
there are only create composser he is just very talented in these type of music, connect to once sadness,joy and pride, his music is like the call before a storm in my opinion minus the storm part >:D
agreed, he seems like a bit of a prick, but I have to give the man credit he did give a great performance as Algren. But Ken Watanabe really stole the show, he was fantastic as Katsumoto.
aww so sad you realy are pathetic but you probably already know that and you are trying to make up for it by placing these lame comments quite sad you know.
well this is a waste of my time becuz clearly you are yust a bored little 13 year old with no life.
