yireses Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 A question about a scene of the Last Samurai?What do you think means the First Scene when Katsumoto see's the white tiger in he's vision? I know that the white Tiger is Captain Nathan Algren (TOM CRUISE) but di you think theres 's more. Remember the Tiger had Katsumoto eye's Thank you for sharing.

Hidden_Ronin Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I think the tiger is meant to represent a fierce and powerful fighting spirit. Katsumoto sees the tiger while medertating, and Algrins flag has the tiger on it when he is defeated in battle. The fact that the Tiger has Katsumotos eyes may be a way of linking Algrin, Kasumoto and the fighting spirit represented by the tiger. Both Katsumoto are the same in many respects, only one is a man from the east, one from the west. Katsumoto still fights for honour without questioning traditional methods, much like Algrin did when he wiped out the native americans during his days in the army.Thats my theory at least. It shows both men are linked by thier warrior spirit. "Greet your friends with open arms, and your enemies with open hands" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
