The Last Samurai
[| The Last Samurai] is a film released in 2003 starring [| Tom Cruise.] playing the character of Nathan Algren. He is captured by an enemy samurai and is taken prisoner of war. He lives with the people of the village that he has been taken to and learns the way of the samurai through their training. With this training he leads them into battle against the army he once commanded.

The first research topic I will look into the samurai culture. Was it as widely used in reality as it was in The Last Samurai? Were the weapons and armor accurate for that time in history? Was this an accurate representation of the life of men and women at this time?

The second research paper I will do will deal with the realism of an American having to help save the people of a Japanese Village. What does this say about how the Americas view themselves to people of Asia? Why couldn't the villagers of samurai defeat their enemy without the help of a white American?
