This film was based on the earlier "Swamp Water" - both great films. The earlier film also starred Dana Andrews and John Carradine. I loved all the Walter Brennan movies as well as his character, Grandpa Amos, in the TV series "The Real McCoys", which starred another late and great actor, Richard Crenna, as Luke.

The Last Samurai
(2003)
"Great Film"
7 January 2004
Just saw this film. Tom Cruise does an outstanding job in this movie. I didn't even think about "Dances With Wolves" - one of your reviewers referred to that film in his review - as I saw the film. My wife and I both loved the movie, and it elicited tears from us both toward the end. The supporting cast is excellent, too. The actor who played the role of the "Last Samurai" did an excellent job as well (I regret that I can remember only his first name ("Ken")without looking it up). The music was equally fabulous - may have to g et that sound track - and the movie when it comes out on DVD. Don't buy many, but I do pick up the ones I deem to be outstanding.
