What did the japanese public really think of this movie?
>>217037844it was actually a huge hit over there. I took japanese in college because i needed a language credit and my professor was an old japanese woman who loved this movie because she thought ken watanabe was hot
>>217037844they loved it
>>217037844>perfect… they are all perfect This is one of the greatest films ever made, and I’m tired of pretending it isn’t.
>>217037844we have had shogun decades before that
>>217037844>saw this as a kid>instantly understood "Oh, he's a witness to their end, just like he did back home, but he came to terms with it this time because he saw their noble end from the inside">critics say it's a white saviour movie and very offensive to the Japanese peopleI haven't seen it in 20 years, but I still remember almost all of it.
>>217037844early 2000s cruise was something. every performance was kino
>>217037844>you killed my husband>please, fuck me
>>217037844Asians living in their own countries don't have this retarded complex about mixing with whites, it's only retarded diasporoids.
>>217037967People didn’t even understand the TITLE, let alone the subtext. Samurai is plural, it’s supposed to read as “the last of the samurai”, but retards instantly assume it’s saying that le ebil yt man is THE last samurai. Fucking idiots.
>>217038035Most loyal woman in Japan
>>217037844Tom Cruise is huge in Japan
>>217038114hes 5'7", pretty average over there
>>217037844Kojima loved it
kino armour.
>>217038035For all we know he was an asshole who beat her every other day
>>217038126kek

>"I just realized, I've been remiss. Forgive me, I forgot to thank you for protecting me yesterday. That is your job right? Protecting me. Well done 'Bob.' You don't mind if I call you Bob, do you? I knew a Bob once; God, he was ugly as a mule. Are you a ladies man, Bob?">in the final battle Bob takes a bullet for Algren and saves his lifekino
>>217038182Always love some feather armour.
>>217038035Women are inherently traitorous.
>>217038035If the husband died then he is a cuck. The strongest win
>>217037844they laughed
>>217038691Didn't know you had a nude scene in this anon
>>217037844Why do white, handsome, christian men always have sex with japanese women in these movies/show?
I'm not Japanese, but I feel like I have spent a lot of time studying the culture (almost to the point I AM Japanese, in a sense): they would NEVER, EVER allow Tom Cruise to become samurai. Why? Simple: he is gaijin (foreigner) which makes him UNABLE to follow the honourable codes of yamato-damashi laid down by the samurai elders. No pinkskin could ever hope to wield one of their noble blades.
Japan worships white people so why wouldn't it be a hit there?
>>217038041asian here - lol. racemixing might come naturally to westerners but not in east asia.
>>217038094She already was a widow
>>217039061where in Asia, and what do you mean?i'm white/British and 'pushing' for it is stupid, i actually hear the most backlash against woke/PC shit from non-white/non-British people nowadays ("we just don't have that back in [country]").
>>217038735I saw it in theaters there
>>217039032Maybe like 20 years ago they did but the massive influx of dude bros and normies going to Japan has changed their perception.
>>217037844They loved it, it made Tom Cruise an icon over there. The only people who didn't like it were asian incels who live in the west and white women
>>217038035>NTR is one of the biggest genres in hentai Cuck culture is huge in Japan, glad to see it goes back centuries.
I'm listening to caiopea (japanese jazz fusion) and it always stands out to me how much music from japan sounds like it's from japan. Like their rock music, this stuff, you can instantly tell it's japanese. How is that? On the surface it's just a genre of music, especially the rock, but you can just hear that it's japanese. I don't get it.
He looks so cool in this movie
Dude,their women think that going with prostitutes isn't cheating,I have like 10k favorites on nhentai and half my brain is manga and anime at this point but am not stupid enough to idolise these people or their country
>>217039419racemixing is normal in your countries and south america. it's not anywhere else - don't project your countries' degeneracy onto homogeneous ethnostates
>>217038035Looks how she reacts to a kiss, like she didn't know what it was, it was obvious her former husband was not very loving with her.
>>217039670same. Listening to nip music right now and increasingly only watch anime but I wouldn't say I'm a weeb at all. I don't care about their culture or want to visit japan.
>>217039711A tall good looking white boy in Japan will absolutely swim in pussy.
>>217039717I want to visit Japan but no way am living there unless am loaded and even then the fake politeness would kill me,I am a Balkan but I love silly little songs like these.https://youtu.be/iEz9LpcgshI?si=y4A2OS9NpNKk20NE
>>217038565CUTEI hope they got married and had lots of kids
>>217039670>their women think that going with prostitutes isn't cheatingBut it isn't.
I prefer The Last Nigger on Earth starring Tom Hanks
>>217038035She probably would've fucked him anyway.The fact that he killed her husband probably only made her wetter. It's instinctual.
>>217037844Woke garbage that encourages race mixing and replacing the population with gaijins.
>>217038126jej
>>217040091based Mooneybro
>>217037844Everybody loves tom cruise.
>>217038035It's trad, like Theseus killing Sinis the pine bender then laying with his daughter.
>>217037844the ntr was degenerate and ruined the movie.
>>217038035Unironically common throughout all of human history
>>217037844>gets killed on the battlefield>your wife almost immediately starts fucking the guy who killed youAm i the only one who gets disgusted by this? I'm guessing that most women enjoy this type of cucking in movies.
>>217038229>men deserve to get cucked>if their wife betray them, they surely have it comingmale feminist-kun, please go back to re-ddit.
>>217038035This kind of thing shows up in anime too. who does it appeal to?
>>217039102so what? it's still obviously a betrayal.
>>217037844the same thing Brazilians thought of this movie
A real samurai's wife would behead Cruise's character lmao>>217040384it's a judeowestern racial humiliation attack on East Asians they invert reality. they can pretend evil is good but people who aren't goycattle will instinctually know they are up to no good
>>217040563Flags on all boards.
>217038035>217038094>217038565>217039586>217039670>217040100>217040371>217040384>217040452Fucking baka, they don't even realize The Last Samurai is a gaijin fantasy, in reality they would commit suicide rather than get raped by the enemy, Jap women are loyal you little cucks>Female ritual suicide (incorrectly referred to in some English sources as jigai) was practiced by the wives of samurai who had performed seppuku or brought dishonor.[21][22]>Some women belonging to samurai families died by suicide by cutting the arteries of the neck with one stroke, using a knife such as a tantō or kaiken.[23] The main purpose was to achieve a quick and certain death in order to avoid capture or rape.[23] Before dying, a woman would often tie her knees together so her body would be found in a "dignified" pose, despite the convulsions of death.[23] Invading armies would often enter homes to find the lady of the house seated alone, facing away from the door. On approaching her, they would find that she had ended her life long before they reached her.>Stephen R. Turnbull provides extensive evidence for the practice of female ritual suicide, notably of samurai wives, in pre-modern Japan; one of the largest mass suicides was the 25 April 1185 final defeat of Taira no Tomomori, in the Battle of Dan-no-ura.[21]>Onodera Tan (小野寺 丹), the wife of Onodera Junai of the forty-seven rōnin, is a notable example of a wife following a samurai husband's seppuku: she is said to have starved herself to death after her husband's death.[24]>A large number of "honor suicides" marked the defeat of the Aizu clan in the Boshin War of 1869, leading into the Meiji era. For example, in the family of Saigō Tanomo, who survived, a total of twenty-two female honor suicides are recorded among one extended family
>>217037844>white samurai:0>black samurai :|
>>217040563Instead of having a melty over some invented race thing in your head, realize women will only be loyal to the strongest, regardless of race. It's a survival instinct thing.
>>217040485>white husband dies for meaningless war, immediately betrays her race for an arabooooo i dislike this one!!!! i reeeeeeally dislike this! i might even say a bad word or two!!!!
>>217037844>SAW KEYwhy did he read keep screaming this over and over? it literally made no sense
>>217037844 It's literally a movie that criticizes globalism and places the Nationalists who are against western meddling and western soft power in Japan as the good guys. Why would the Japanese dislike the movie? Because of your cucked fantasies that you want to project onto everything? >>217038035 They never fucked in the movie. Seeing these memes I thought they at least tongue kissed before finally watching the movie, but it was just a peck on the lips and a year after they were forced to live together and developed mutual respect.
>>217040955>They never fucked in the movie.You lie
>>217037883Has been my favorite film of all time for decades. Don't care, won't apologize. I know technically there are better movies but none of them make me feel like this one does.
>>217040485This puss me off beyond belief, she should be beaten to death as an exemple for all other whore
>>217040485Why do slave nigress always go with those sub IQ retard sandnigger
>>217037844in a study based on a sample population of 1, japanese transfer student and my roommate at the time, they loved it and watched multiple times at the cinema. he also loved Kill Bill 1. the one movie of that era that he found offensive was Lost in Translation.if your question was about white savior problems or stuff like that, yeah, he didn't give a single fuck.
>>217039633I listen to lots of 70’s-80’s stuff from Japan too, and you’re right. I think it has a lot to do with how polished the mix is, and how incredibly tight the musicianship is. At the risk of sounding like a weeb, it really does just has a lovely sheen of expertise in every aspect of the playing and production. I’m going to see Takanaka this summer, can’t wait.
>>217037844Reminder that Tom Cruise robbed this role from Steven Seagal.
>>217040384You didn’t watch the film. He’s stuck there for like a year before anything like that happens
>>217037844Japanese people have shit tastes. They love it when westerns say they love Japan and that's it. They also are terrible at history, which is why Ghost of Tsushima was also well received.
>>217041977Checked and fucking correct I’m with you, anon.
>>217037844I haven't seen this movie yet but I pretend I do on /tv/. He's literally me.
>>217037967>No you can't just save people while White, heckin minorities can do it themselves!>White people, our society has collapsed again, please come and save us!
>>217042612you really don't see anything amiss with having sex with the person who murdered your spouse?
>>217042941Its ok if BWC
>>217038035Lindy
>>217038035sounds like Japan
>>217038041I've only seen diaspora asian chicks clambering for white bfs/husbands, and every single one has dragged him to visit the extended family like a trophy lmao.
>>217038565The heart wants what it wants.
>>217039567Not true, I like it because Tom Cruise is hot and he looks good in this movie (and the movie is good)
>>217042293People are drawn to those who are similarLow iq + low iq = match made in heaven
>>217040304is that like a wood mage
> I would say the same thing, just to be polite. Let me tell you something that might be a bit dangerous. I was raised in Japan. I was schooled in martial arts. I was given the title of master. They take a movie “The Last Samurai.” They have a 5-foot-2-inch little guy, whether he was straight or gay, I don’t know. I don’t care. He had never been to Japan. He doesn’t speak Japanese. He has never held a sword. They make him the Last Samurai. We got 450,000 phone calls [laughs] from everybody in the world saying, “That role was perfect for you. How did that happen?” Most of the people I know didn’t like the film and didn’t go see it. It’s just a classic example of Hollywood and the politics.
>>217043948The fact this is a real quote and not a greentext meme is hilarious
>>217037844I was mad that poor Timmy never got the chance to get deep inside that Japanese pussy and ejaculate galloons of semen before getting killed.
>>217040581girls weren't allowed to wield swords. one of the many reasons Japan is based af
>>217040658there were no black samurai and blacks don't have such honor nor discipline
This movie got me a girlfriend in school.I lent it to her and we both really liked it, she left a little note inside the DVD case which I still have.
>>217038035Yes
cuck level 9000
>>217037844that's exceedingly japanese
>>217038035>Anon discovers the true nature of women
>>217038041Yes they do retard. Most people would rather their children marry someone of their same ethnicity. Most can accept it and get on with things, but there'll always be that initial awkwardness. I speak from experience in Southeast Asia.
Most japanese have white ancestry now
>>217039670>>217039717 I don't consume Japanese media at all but really want to visit the country. What does that make me?
>>217040108>and replacing the population with gaijins It has the opposite message though
There is no reason to hate this movie except Cruise Derangement Syndrome. This movie is over 20 years old btw and still has a chokehold on /tv/ like all early 2000s movies
>>217037858ken was like george clooney for them
>>217042612>He’s stuck there for like a year before anything like that happens Even after a year it was only a small kiss they shared. It's only when he returned to the village after the final battle (we don't know how long after) that they ended up together. And by that point he saved her kids and they developed a bond together.
>>217038834>pinkskinCool it with the racism, Neytiri.
>>217037844Cruise the movie star has been global.
Where is Yasuke??
>>217038834>I feel like I have spent a lot of time studying the culture (almost to the point I AM Japanese, in a sense)
>>217043948 Isn't this guy a zigger shill or am I mixing up the dictatorships?
>>217046588they buck broke him
>>217040452widows finding new partners is always cucking-related, and i'm tired of pretending otherwise. what'd they even say to their dead former husbands in the afterlife? "The wait was too long, darling"? them fucking the guy who killed him is pretty much the greatest betrayal that one human can do to another.
>>217046636he is a humble vegetable enjoyer
>>217046308>that video with these couples walking past a handicapped, homeless, destitute former nip soldierlife's cruel.
>>217038035This movie understands women
>zigger/tv/ is a proud Russian boardWe support our Russbros in their fight against globohomoGo back to /k/ hohol, you are not welcome here
>>217038834Translation:>I'm a cringy autistic weeb and Japanese people hate being forced to interact with me, therefore they should treat gigachad with exactly as much disgust as they treat me.
>>217038035start with the Greeks
>>217037844It’s well received just like everywhere else. I mean come on it’s just a top tier movie all around. It would only be better if it was Chinese mystical martial arts with anime tier combat and a light hearted tone
>>217046660>Until death do us part
God I love asian women bros
>>217038565Your pic is actually a German soldier and his German girlfriend near the Schwerin-Görries air base.It's often mislabeled as a French woman following a Dailymail article of dubious quality that was published 7 years ago.But there are indeed plenty of actual photos of German soldiers with French women out there.And there is also pic related, which is even more in the theme of the topic.
>>217048270those woman are like 50 years old, look at those hags

>>217038035You're a product of countless couplings like that throughout human lineage
>>217038035I wonder if Japanese incels existed back then and got mad because waitto piggu kissed the noble, princess like Japanese lady who's husband he killed.
Tim Cruise was the Last Samurai. All the others died retards
>>217038834Explain Miura Anjin then, fucktard.
>>217046660If you had a wife and she died young and you met someone who made you feel love again you'd suddenly find some rationale for why it's okay in your case
>>217037844>giwtwm
>>217038834I can smell you from here, weeb.
I remember listening to this soundtrack from hans zimmer and that was celestial. One of his best at the time
90% of the time you see some movie torn apart for cultural appropriation or whatever you can go look at it's reception from those actual people and it will mostly be "neat, it's nice when others are interested in our culture"
>>217037844The Japanese have so absolutely no clue about their own history, so they think this actually happened
>>217038834Gomenasai.
>>217045947>nearly twice the box office of lord of the fucking ringsland of the rising sun? more like land of the terrible taste

>>217038834William Adams was made a Samurai and a Hatamoto, (the highest rank for Samurai) and a LORD, you dumb fuck. What the fuck have you been studying, he's the real life person that James Clavell's Shogun was based on, not exactly an obscure footnote in History. Go back to studying Ninja anime.

>>217038834
>>217037844They loved it. Cruise also took the time to do a lot of publicity and engagement with people in Japan, which made him like a god to them. Even today they still love him.
whites and asians are much more comparable than any other races. this is a big reason why asians tend to just never be counted as a minority, are never counted as diversity, and even the biggest leftist just not give a shit about asians, just like whites. they know that we are natural allies and that scares them.
>>217043274I've seen homeland ones do it, but yes it is very common in the diaspora. Getting a white husband is basically a status symbol.
>>217038834Top kek
>>217054532Cruise's character is adapted from an actual historical character, dumbass.>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jules_BrunetThe real "Algren" was French and didn't remain in Japan, among other differences, but much like Clavell's Blackthorne being a standin for William Adams, these people did exist.
>>217061487why are whites so delusional? they usually end up with the trashiest and ugliest asian women. lower status (and older) women racemix because dating interracially expands their options.
>>217039102In Korea a widow was expected to kill herself and the dead husbands family received special status.
>>217046308She kept moving the fuckers hand away from her face.

>>217046308Not true the number of babies born to Japanese women and American fathers after the war was uncharacteristically less than expected for an occupational force. Estimates put the true number at about 20k from 1945-55. For comparison there were 200k babies born to French mothers and German fathers. In fact if you put together all hapa babies born from Japan, Korea and Vietnam combined it barely hits 200k for all three wars combined.
