When a friend first suggested going to see The Last Samurai, I was not exactly thrilled to go. ... The Last Samurai, directed by Edward Zwick (Glory, Legends of the Fall), this picture is the war epic you expect, but also contains a deeper story underneath. ... Alger is hired to train the modern Japanese army, who are resisting a rebellion by the Samurai, the ancient warrior class. The Samurai are watching their world slip away, as their code of honor is abandoned and guns take the place of their swords.
His job of taking down the samurai is eerily similar to his battles with the Indians, but he is now so disheartened, he doesn’t care, he just wants to make money and go home. ... Algren realizes he has found a place for himself among the Samurai.
