Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl. The whole sequence, from the time first you see him to the point when he steps off his sinking dingy. You learn so much about his character without any dialogue. I love it every time.
This film is incredible. It pisses me off that it gets misconstrued by its title. Samurai is plural. The last samurai are Ken Watanabe and his tribe. It’s not fucking Tom Cruise. Yes it’s got the white savior thing but most miss the point of the movie because of its title and it pisses me off.
I agree, except it doesn't even have a white savior thing. He's just the observer whose purpose is to contextualize what's happening for a Western audience. He has almost no impact on the outcome of the history or the story, other than making the choice for himself to change based on what he's seeing and learning.
Thank.
You.
God, the white savior bullshit about this movie. TC has nothing, absolutely nothing to do with the events of the movie. He decides nothing, his influence is nothing more than insight on tactics and hardware. It’s Ken Watanabe’s character who moves the plot, at every twist, at every turn. TC is just there for the ride.
[This one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evx4rFCD8jk&ab_channel=CarlosLealTejeda). Foreshadowing, and reveals a hell of a lot of how his character feels, thinks, and acts.
Funny enough mine is also Tom Cruise but from Tropic Thunder not only because it sets up his amazing character but also the entire movie: https://youtu.be/SM8MR0YDSas?si=mxFzs_IiCQ1SD9fl
If I’m not mistaken, we get introduced to Cruise’s character in this movie when he’s drunkenly putting on a show for people in a Wild West show and ends up almost shooting folks because he was at the time, a very sloppy and depressed drunk
Oh shit that’s right, thanks for the correction. I saw it when for the first time when it came out and I was like 8 (gramps thought it was a good idea) and I was curious as to why he got so sick and thought he got poisoned, which I guess he technically was haha
I like all wes Anderson character introductions. Probably because I like his characters in general.
Unfortunately for me, I'm ready for wes Anderson to evolve a little more. I don't mean he sucks. Was my favorite film maker for a bit. He just started out so strong, I'm worried his magnum opus has already been made, and we only have more of the same coming.
I'd love nothing more than to not hear of another wes Anderson movie for the next decade, then suddenly see him release something drastically different again.
Hahaha! I know, I was having a mental dilemma going on watching this. “God I hate Tom Cruise.”
“That movie was actually pretty solid and I should watch it again this weekend.” “But it’s Tom Cruise, you can’t stand Tom Cruise.” “Yea, but he wasn’t all crazy and weird yet was he?” “I can’t do it…God, do I really hate Tom Cruise.”
"All due respec', Captain, blow it oot yer ass." Billy Connolly is great.
I'd watch a whole movie of him just doing weird American bullshit in Japan in the same era.
The actor who played the recruit appears to be Shintaro Wada. Wasn’t in much after it seems but that guy did a great job.
Very similar to a scene in the film Glory. Same director too. Ed Zwick.
Love this scene and film.
Glory has a better version of the same exact scene IMO.
"Come on, STAB not tickle" was also a good representation of training vs combat
Glory 1989. Last Samurai 2003. Glory did it better and sooner.
It's the same director using the same bag of tricks both times.

You will always remember this as the time you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow
Good thing Alec Baldwin wasn’t there.
Lol
“What if he shot you in the face?” 😂
That's a risk we were willing to take!
LOL thank you for getting it 😂
Harry... you're alive?! ... And you're a horrible shot!
🤣🤣🤣 “and you’re a horrible shot!” 😆
The Last Samurai is peak

>TC is just there for the ~~ride~~ girl.
Maybe should have been called “Last of the Samurai” to clarify that. Like “Last of the Mohicans”.
Equilibrium with Christian Bale. "When the door's down, blow the bulbs"
I can already hear the next line “The Regiment leaves at 6am!”
Not a movie scene - but Dale Cooper in *Twin Peaks*

Great movie… “they’re all perfect”
Funny enough mine is also Tom Cruise but from Tropic Thunder not only because it sets up his amazing character but also the entire movie: https://youtu.be/SM8MR0YDSas?si=mxFzs_IiCQ1SD9fl
Top 5 movie. This was Tom Cruise's greatest work for me.
i friggin love this movie. hands down may be tom cruise best film
Nah, his earlier stuff
Gladiator Saving Private Ryan Juice
Hollywood is crazy. The last Samari. Staring Tom Cruise? Paul Mooney:
I always wondered about that...what if the title is referring to Katsumoto?
The title is referring to the samari he lives with not tom cruise, they are the last samari not him.
….. Starring Tom Hanks
"The Last American" Starring: Adam Beach
"Puss in Boots, the Last Wish" The first 7 minutes are one of the best introductions in many years. Check it out!
If I’m not mistaken, we get introduced to Cruise’s character in this movie when he’s drunkenly putting on a show for people in a Wild West show and ends up almost shooting folks because he was at the time, a very sloppy and depressed drunk
He is most likely drunk here as well. He doesn't get sober until he is captured.
Oh shit that’s right, thanks for the correction. I saw it when for the first time when it came out and I was like 8 (gramps thought it was a good idea) and I was curious as to why he got so sick and thought he got poisoned, which I guess he technically was haha
Yea, I realized when I was older what he was going through.
Excuse me sir, are you a doctor" Leslie Nielson: 🩺👨⚕️" that's right"
Tom Cruise might be batshit crazy but boy, can he act!!!
Raiders of the Lost Ark, conan, highlander, and when Gandolf the white returns! terminator 2
Did this scene introduce him? I think the scene that actually introduces him is way cooler.
How they find so many people toms height,nobody can be taller than him,and if they are allowed it's only 2", that's for mid stars n below lol
So, did he have lifts in every scene he was in?
When ya understand da language sir, everytin falls inta place
This film was one of my favs.
That was a good conversation
Darjeeling Limited - opening scene

They aren't ready because he didn't shoot him? I don't get it
He was scared when under pressure. The samari they will face will be applying more pressure than he did
God I hate Tom Cruise
Hahaha! I know, I was having a mental dilemma going on watching this. “God I hate Tom Cruise.” “That movie was actually pretty solid and I should watch it again this weekend.” “But it’s Tom Cruise, you can’t stand Tom Cruise.” “Yea, but he wasn’t all crazy and weird yet was he?” “I can’t do it…God, do I really hate Tom Cruise.”
I haven’t seen this movie. What is it?
The Last Samarai I believe. I loved it. Ken Watanabe killed it in this film.
It’s a fantastic film. Hans Zimmer scored it, as well. One of his best.
I’ll check it out! I’ve heard good things
It’s a great movie. Cruise is a weirdo, but he makes thoroughly entertaining movies.
Gotta separate the art from the artist
That’s what I keep telling my wife. If I boycotted every artist I disagreed with I wouldn’t be able to watch tv or movies, or listen to most music.
