I'm not an admirer of Mr. Cruise, but I must admit I liked the movie and his performance. And the fact he spoke Japanese ... all my respect

 

Interesting movie and full of "feeling"

Kinda reminds me of Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Carribean. Although I prefer Johnny Depp's character to Cruise's in the Last Samurai.

It was a beautiful movie, but even moreso because it was loosely based on a real event in Japanese history, referred to as the Satsuma Rebellion, which was led by the real last samurai, Takamori Seigo. Cruise's character was utter fiction, but a nice touch for the occidental audience.

Tom Cruise's character existed, but was French. He was a captain, Jules Brunet, sent in Japan to instruct their soldiers in an "european" style. Alongside the samurais from the resistance he formed an independent republic on the Hokkaido isle. It lasted only 6 months. After the definitive victory over the samurais, in 1869, he returned to France where he got in front of the Court Martial, afterwards he regained his rank. He finished as a general.
