The Last Samurai is strange. It's a big Hollywood blockbuster with the top movie star of its era, yet it seems like something from the imagination of a fat weeaboo on 4chan.
>Cruise is a disillusioned gaijin who hates his own people
>fights the samurai in a battle where the gun proves weaker than the mighty katana
>would be killed, but the samurai spare him because he honorably defeats a samurai 1v1
>as their captive, he is nursed back to health by a shy but tsundere Japanese tradwife who obviously wants his white dick
>he adopts the ways of the people as his own and discovers that his true soul is Japanese
>he quickly learns how to fight like a samurai
>he helps them defeat a team of ninjas, and earns their respect
>when he returns to the Westernised part of Japan, he is attacked by government assassins
>already a katana master, he fights them 1v4, defeats the first two easily and then switches to an epic dual-wielding style to finish off the last two, the last of whom he beheads, just like my Japanese animes

Yeah it's a weird film. It's part White savior but not really. It's respectful of Jap culture but still lets Tom dick down some good looking gook. IMO it's the jews telling the japs that your culture no longer exists. As if the bombs weren't enough.

It's lil Timmy fantasy : the movie
For the tv show version see - Shogun

Every once and awhile a proper movie is made even in the western studio system.

In fairness, Timmies conquered Japan

Fascinating.
>>
The alcohol withdrawal scenes are horrifyingly realistic
>>
Why strange? There are so many stories like It that it's a common trope and the character could even be an archetype, the outsider that goes native. Typical romantic story of the noble savage.

Dances with wolves, avatar, dune, the last of the mohicans...
>>
>>219828188
Sake wasn't good enough to simulate western alcohol so he went through withdrawal?
>>
>>219828288
They wouldn't give him sake, he was begging for it and they wouldn't give him any. He had to quit cold turkey

>>219827853
weeaboo shit predates the 20th century tho

>>219828364
same here
>>
>>219827853
the samurai win that battle because Algren’s advice was ignored and they deployed unprepared troops. he gets humbled in front of every main Japanese character before he learns how to fight with a katana. and a beheading as a finishing move is just awesome, you don’t have to be a weeb to appreciate that.

Am I even on 4chin anymore?

When you're White like me, you can call them what you want.
>>
>>219827853
The movie about samurai is like other movies about samurai? How could anyone have seen this coming?

But taco slinging beaners aren't white, senor

>>219827853
all smart people are weeaboos, they just don’t wear anime t-shirts, Becuase they aren’t incels.
Google how many celebrities love Japan.
>>
>>219828904
They don't need to wear animu tshirts for people to know they're dorks.
Japan fascination is just Paris syndrome but for westoids.
The most mundane shit like vending machines is treated like some alien tech only because it's in Japan.
>>
>>219828471
Interesting. In America we just call em gooks.
>>
>>219827853
This movie remains of the highest grossing live-action films of all-time in Japan.
>>
>>219828188
When I was going through withdrawals I'd pretend I was tom cruise in those scenes. It helped.
>>
>>219829198
No it isn't.
The highest grossing live action film in Japan is Titanic.
>>
>>219831048
Titanic isn't in Japan, retard.
>>
>>219831089
Titanic was released in Japan retard.
You said nothing about the movie having to take place there.
>>
>>219828946
Paris syndrome exists because people go their expecting to meet white French people and instead it's a bunch of niggers. Japan on the other hand is a clean nice country with a robust culture, and filled with Japanese people. You idiots love to throw around these pop psychology terms but half the time you don't even use them right.
>>
>>219831328
Depends where you go in Japan.
Some places are filled to the brim with indians, blacks and other foreigners.
>>
>>219831152
I accidentally the whole thing. It was supposed to read, "one of the highest grossing." Which is true, it's still the fifth highest grossing live-action film ever in Japan. Fourth is Top Gun: Maverick. Third and second are local films. First is Titanic.
>>
>>219831328
it's similar to Paris Syndrome in the sense that white weebs think it will be like their Japanese cartoons to work and live there, but then the actual work culture there surprises them.
Also Japs tend to avoid foreigners leaving them isolated which they don't expect and can't cope with
>>
>>219831328
People generally are not disappointed in’s trip to japan
>>
>>219827853
It's an anti-colonial, anti-imperialist movie.
I think that's what gives 'MURICANS the ick because it's one step away from scoailism.
The Mask of Zorro was a similar movie.
