I managed to catch The Last Samurai in an advanced showing last night
(Saturday, 29th) in Tulsa - amazing.
You really should see it. It's one of the few movies I've seen that :
1. Had me genuinely caring about the characters involved;
2. had the audience clapping at the end;
3. everyone I went with liked (me, wife, in-laws);
4. inspired some very good discussion and self reflection.
It *will* win an academy award for something. The acting is very good,
the story is very good, and it makes a point without being preachy.
See if if you can. It's cool.
