[Edit this paragraph] Summary

1865, the American Civil War ended. But the hearts of the soldiers are uneasy. In the subsequent large-scale westward movement, white soldiers who had just survived the smoke of the civil war were taken to the front to slaughter Indians. Captain Shana Elgland witnessed so much blood and violence in the war that she lost her soul. Especially when he saw the superior officer, Colonel Benjamin bagley, killing Indians, he felt that his sense of honor as a soldier had disappeared. When the spirit of courage and sacrifice was replaced by the utilitarianism and selfishness of the new era, Algeland, who was immersed in the glorious dream of the past, could only drown her sorrows by drinking all day. By chance, he was recommended to the representative of the newly established Meiji government on the other side of the ocean to train the first modern army for Japan. Al Glenn, depressed, thinks this job is good, at least he may die on the battlefield like a real soldier. The army trained by Al Glenn had to deal with the samurai group that blocked the reform of the army first. After a fierce battle in the dense fog, not only the emperor's modern army was defeated, but also the instructor Egeland himself was captured by the warriors. Although he killed a samurai who besieged him in the fight, he did not get the expected quick death. Instead, Sheng Yuan, the leader of the samurai regiment, captured him alive and sent his sister Doriko to take care of him. Dorico's husband was a warrior killed by Elgland ... In a village where soldiers lived with their families, Elgland found himself involuntarily in love with samurai culture. From the spiritual and physical cultivation of Bushido, he seems to have found the sense of honor that a soldier should have. At the same time, under the careful care of Doriko, there seems to be some subtle feelings between them. However, the wheel of history is irreversible, and the Meiji government will naturally not give up the modernization process, and eventually there will be a war between the samurai and the emperor's army. What should Elgren do if he has fallen in love with Bushido?

[Edit this paragraph] behind-the-scenes production

The time background movie story happened between 1876 and 1877, which coincided with the turbulent riots of the declining samurai class in Japan. Samurai was once a privileged class in Japanese feudal history. By the end of Edo (Tokugawa shogunate period), the samurai class began to divide, and the life of the lower samurai deteriorated sharply. Many of them are forced to engage in agriculture and small businesses in private. In 2002, Yoji Yamada's "Seibee at dusk" was a good portrayal of the lower samurai at that time. Overwhelmed peasants kept rioting. After Brigadier General Perry opened the door to Japan in 1853, people saw the serious crisis of the Tokugawa shogunate, which triggered the shogunate movement with the samurai as the main body. However, the Meiji Restoration, which ended successfully, did not give much benefit to the lower samurai who were the main force of restoration. On the contrary, the abolition of the feudal hereditary identity system of "scholar, farmer, merchant and subaltern" realized the equality of the four people to a certain extent, and also abolished the privileges once enjoyed by the samurai class. In the following years, the promulgation of "conscription order" and "prohibition of revenge order" further deprived the samurai of the necessity of existence, and the samurai who had no source of livelihood and were not very self-reliant were greatly dissatisfied with this. 1876 In March, the Meiji government issued a "Knife Scrapping Order" to prohibit people from taking knives out of their homes, which was tantamount to completely prohibiting the rights of samurai, ending their identity and eventually triggering a series of samurai riots. Of course, these revolts were finally suppressed successfully. One of the main characters in this film is based on the story of Saigō Takamori. The name of this event in history is "Southwest War", and the prototype of Omura should be edward zwick, a five-star behind-the-scenes film director of Kubo Junyi. There is no need to say anything here, because his "burning years" and "glory" have long been known. It is worth mentioning that he is the right-hand man who supports the whole drama with him. John toll plays the leading role in this film, and the picturesque pictures in classic business cards such as Passion Years, Brave Heart, Thin Red Line and Captain Corelli's Mandolin all come from his lens. Thor is also the only photographer who won the academy award for best cinematography for two consecutive years. Steven Rosenblum, the editor of this film, has starred in Glory, Passion Years, Braveheart, Pearl Harbor and X-Men, and has been nominated for many Oscars and won the Best Film Editing Award of the American Film Editing Association three times. Speaking of The Lord of the Rings movies, in addition to fantastic pictures, amazing costumes have left a deep impression on the world. Ngila Dickson, who is good at designing ancient costumes, won the Oscar for Best Costume Design with The The Lord of the Rings Trilogy: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Under her high standards and strict requirements, the Japanese samurai uniforms, armor, kimonos and dresses in this film all use the same materials as in history in pursuit of truth. Finally, Hans Zimmer, a German-born composer, is the most innovative musical genius in Hollywood and has won numerous awards. The pictures of famous movies such as Mr. Cat Shit, The Lion King, Rock and Roll, Gladiator and Pearl Harbor are inseparable from his melody. It can be said that edward zwick dreamed of making a film about Japanese samurai when he was a teenager. He first saw Kurosawa's Seven Samurai when he was 17 years old. From then on, he was fascinated by Kurosawa's films and began to study every one of his works. In zwick's view, Japan before and after Meiji Restoration contained many dramatic factors, including not only the dispute between tradition and modernity, but also the dispute between opening and closing. From cultural customs to behavioral habits, Japan has undergone earth-shaking changes, and every inch of land and every house seems to be able to dig out endless stories. In addition, Zwick has been focusing on historical themes. Both Glory and Years of Passion are set in the late19th century, which is also a revolutionary era in American history. In fact, the preparation of this film can be traced back to the 1990s. At that time, the radar picture had a story idea of "Americans came to Meiji Japan". Tom Engelman, the producer of this film, knew that his neighbor and good friend Zwick had always wanted to play the hero of the American West from a new angle, but so did the traditional Japanese in the process of westernization, and they hit it off. Zwick found a good friend and a famous screenwriter, john logan, and they started writing plays together. Later, marshall herskovitz also joined the script creation. They decided to portray the hero as a westerner looking for a lost soul and find confidence and glory in oriental culture. Like director Zwick, Tom Cruise has a strong interest in Japanese culture, which also stems from the films he saw when he was young. In order to make this film, Cruise made unprecedented efforts. During the filming, Zwick handed several books about Japanese history and culture to Cruise, and as long as he was free, the crew members could see Cruise reading tirelessly. In order to cope with a lot of action scenes in the film, Cruise trained for 8 months. He arrived at the studio two hours earlier than others to practice, not only learning kendo and Japanese martial arts, but also learning fighting immediately. However, eventful and Cruz personally completed most of the stunt shots. Long-term regular bushido training has also sharpened Cruise's senses, at least during the shooting of the fighting scene, he was unscathed. Ken Watanabe, who plays Sewon, also completed most of the stunts after hard training. But at the early stage of production, as a modern Japanese with a complete western education, Watanabe could not understand the "death" behavior of Sewon leading his warriors and villagers. But he finally figured it out. For Seung-won, life and death are irrelevant, and the honor of the samurai is the most important thing. Katsumoto is the leader of samurai worship, so he often needs to make inflammatory remarks. As a result, Watanabe often speaks in front of more than 500 people on the set, and often shouts speechless. In order to create a real atmosphere of the Meiji era, the art designer lily Lilly Kilvert made comprehensive preparations several months before the film started. She led the production team to spend hundreds of hours reading historical materials, including various books, pictures and documents before and after Meiji, constantly consulting experts, inquiring about the building materials of Meiji period, and even the varieties of decorative leaves. Finally, the buildings in the film are all built by the art department; Among them, there are 150 "artificial" cherry trees, each of which is decorated with detachable branches and leaves to meet the needs of different scenery in four seasons, and this "seasonal change" scene may occur many times a day. In order to recreate the traditional samurai village in the film, Corvette led more than 200 people to develop a 40-hectare land in New Plymouth, New Zealand. They transported the wood by helicopter, and the thatch on the roof was taken from a nearby valley and piled up by hand. The cloth was dyed in different colors to distinguish the samurai. Except for a small amount of materials imported from Japan, all projects are based on local materials in New Zealand. The New Zealand government also provided a venue for the climax of the film, but it had to shovel 40 feet high and 400 feet wide. During the filming, a greening team consisting of 25 people was on standby at any time. During the filming, they rushed to the scene to repair the turf trampled by the war horses. In terms of clothing production, fashion designer Dixon led skilled tailors from Japan, Los Angeles and New Zealand to produce more than 2,000 pieces of Meiji-era clothing in strict accordance with historical pictures, documents and interviews with historians. All the main actors' costumes are made in Japan. After designing the style, Dixon went to Japan to choose materials and sew them by hand, because this process is the production process of ancient kimono. Dickson even found a tailor in Japan who had worked with Akira Kurosawa in the past, thus gaining valuable production experience. In addition, the color of all the clothes in the film is determined according to the character. For example, Sewon's kimono is mainly dark blue and brown; The character Doriko was sad at first, so the color of the clothes was not happy. As the affection between her and Nathan became deeper and deeper, the color of her clothes began to brighten and bloom like flowers. The making of samurai armor is quite complicated. The whole process is completed by the cooperation of blacksmith, tailor and jeweler. Each piece of armor is assembled by hundreds of accessories through multiple processes. Among them, the production of chain mail is regarded as a nightmare, because Dixon is also a fashion designer in The Lord of the Rings series movies. At that time, there were two people who were responsible for manually biting small pieces of chain mail. After four years, the fingerprints of the workers have all been worn away, and the same works in The Last Samurai are even more conceivable.

[Edit this paragraph] Highlights

Tom Cruise didn't get paid in advance for his performance in this film. Tom Cruise has been preparing for this film for two years. In this film, Ken Watanabe spoke English for the first time. Although the film suggests that Americans train the Japanese army, in fact, it is the Prussian General Staff that helps the Japanese army step into the modernization process. More than 500 Japanese extras were used in the film.

When the emperor receives, no one is allowed to carry weapons. In the scene where Nathan finally falls down, body double Nathan and Sheng Yuan are obviously used. When Armageddon returned to this array, Nathan's hind hoof kicked a soldier's lower body, and the soldier took a step back.
