The Last Samurai
wallpapers
- Set in the late 1870s, this epic film depicts the beginnings of
the modernization of Japan, as the island nation evolved past a
feudal society, as symbolized by the eradication of the samurai way
of life. We see all this happen from the point of view of an
alcoholic Civil War veteran turned Winchester guns spokesman,
Captain Woodrow Algren (Cruise), who arrives in Japan to train the
troops of the emperor, Meiji, as part of a break away from the
long-held tradition of relying on employed samurai warriors to
protect territories, as the emperor's new army prepares to wipe out
the remaining samurai warriors. When Algren is injured in combat and
captured by the samurai, he learns about their warrior honor code
from their leader, Katsumoto, which forces him to decide which side
of the conflict he actually wants to be on. Time Warner - |
