I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

The only acceptable reason to do this is if you have cats or kids. loving little hellions think it's hilarious to unroll the entire roll.

Anyway, The Last of the Mohicans and Dances with Wolves are not the same thing. I think I got confused by The Last Samurai at some point.

I still think it’s weird that The Last Samurai gets lumped in with all the “mighty white guy” movies considering Tom Cruise:

1. Isn’t actually the title character (Ken Watanabe is the titular last samurai)

2. Doesn’t end up being better at the culture than the people he’s joined (he manages to fight one of them to a draw once after losing multiple times in a row, and even then only because he already had some sword training from his cavalry days)

3. Ultimately doesn’t affect the outcome

Also he didn't have to learn that the 'savages' were actually people too after meeting them, as he already knows what he did was wrong and hates himself for it which is why he is a suicidal alcoholic at the start of the movie.

It is I, the person who actually liked the last samurai. And I was in a phase of not liking Tom Cruise at the time too.

Just think it's generally a pretty decent movie, and as others have pointed out not that white-savior-y.

loving Maddox has that whole screed about the Last Samurai and it's dumb because the Japanese word isn't singular.

The Last Samurai = The Last (Generation of) Samurai

That movie was really good historical fiction, set in a time and place that Western audiences haven't seen often.
