Tom Cruise is an actor who has traveled and succeeded equally in every genre of the movie world. His movies are in Action, Thriller, Sports, Horror, War, Comedy, Romance and even Music genres. Sometimes he is a hired Hitman, sometimes he is a Detective or a Spy and sometimes he is a Stubborn Fighter Pilot or a vampire vampire.

Tom Cruise played a samurai warrior in the movie I will discuss today. Before discussing the movie, I would like to say a few words about the samurai. Samurai are a warrior race born in the early 12th century, who became extinct in the late 16th century (not completely). They live under the “Shogun” (samurai leader). If their leader dies and there is no worthy successor, they become “Ronin”. They have some notable features, such as being very loyal to their leader, preferring suicide to surrendering on the battlefield, respecting their own culture, and so on. The reason for telling so many stories is that these things have been shown in the movie.

The movie shows the Americans being able to convince Emperor Mieji of Japan that ammunition is needed to modernize the armed forces. So there is no need for samurai. But the samurai leader Katsumoto (Ken Watanabe) rebelled against this. According to him, it was a conspiracy to abolish the samurai tradition. Captain Nathan Algren (Tom Cruise) was hired by the American army to quell the rebellion. Nathan was tragically defeated and wounded in the first battle with the samurai. Be begs for his life and takes him to their village. While there, Nathan learns about the samurai culture and their way of life, and goes on to win over the samurai. What happened in that village that changed Nathan’s mind ?? You will know the answer by watching the movie.

Culture is the identity of a nation. Through this you will be able to differentiate a nation from other nations. For example, Pahela Boishakh is a unique feature of the Bengali nation, by which Bengalis can be separated from other nations. So it is our great responsibility to maintain that culture. You are modern, but you should not forget your roots. This was the main theme of the movie, which Tom Cruise and Ken Watanabe have mastered in their acting skills.

Casting, location, costume, war scene, music, etc., everything was perfect in this movie. The film won a total of 21 awards, including four Oscars.
I hope everyone will like the movie.
